Fire Protection of Arkansas, Incorporated (FPOA) has been a cornerstone of fire safety services in Arkansas since its founding in 1967. Established by Eldridge Bradley in Jonesboro, the company was born out of a recognized need for fire protection in the area. Initially beginning its journey with minimal resources—an old pickup truck, a borrowed camper, and a mere $50—FPOA has grown tremendously over the decades. The company was incorporated in 1979 and has since expanded its services to cover the entire northeast Arkansas region.
Following Eldridge Bradley's passing in 1991, his son Rusty Bradley took over the operations. Rusty brought invaluable experience to the company, having served 20 years with the Jonesboro Fire Department. His leadership and insight help ensure that FPOA maintains high standards of quality fire protection services. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2017, FPOA remains committed to delivering exceptional fire protection solutions at competitive prices.
The company provides a diverse array of fire safety services, including the sale and inspection of fire extinguishers, the installation and servicing of automatic fire sprinkler systems, as well as the maintenance of backflow preventers. Additionally, FPOA supplies smaller fire safety products directly from its Jonesboro office. With a dedication to customer service, FPOA also offers 24/7 emergency services, ensuring that clients can always rely on their support during critical times. Overall, Fire Protection of Arkansas is not just a fire safety company, but a trusted partner in safeguarding properties across the region.
