Witmer Public Safety Group Acquires 3 Rivers Fire Equipment Company

3 Rivers Fire Equipment Company, a Pennsylvania-based supplier of firefighting equipment and services, was acquired by Witmer Public Safety Group, Inc. (WPSG).

3 Rivers Fire Equipment, which is situated in Turtle Creek, PA, has established a solid reputation for providing turnout gear, individualized customer care and gear sizing knowledge to the local fire department.

WPSG's position in Western Pennsylvania is strengthened by this acquisition, which also improves its capacity to provide fire departments in the area with practical assistance, product knowledge and support.

“3 Rivers Fire Equipment has done an excellent job building trusted relationships within the fire community,” said James Witmer, CEO of Witmer Public Safety Group. “Their commitment to service and their alignment with premium product lines like Globe make them a natural fit for WPSG. We’re excited to welcome their customers and team into our organization.”

With the help of its regional sales staff working under the TheFireStore brand, WPSG will incorporate 3 Rivers Fire Equipment into its Fire division. In addition to continuing to engage with informed, regionally focused agents, customers will gain from increased access to products, service capabilities, and a wider support infrastructure. The business also plans to maintain the local connections and individualized service philosophy that have been essential to 3 Rivers' success.

The acquisition advances WPSG's overarching plan to broaden its geographic reach and enhance its proficiency in important product categories, such as firefighter PPE and turnout gear.

“Joining TheFireStore allows us to offer our customers more—more products, more resources, and more support—while continuing to provide the service they’ve come to expect,” said Ted Czekaj, owner of 3 Rivers Fire Equipment. “We’re excited about what this means for the departments we serve.”
