Who we are
Kirby Fire Protection was founded by Lucky Kirby who is a Wichita Kansas native.
How we got started
I started off my fire protection career installing fire sprinkler systems for Johnson Controls Simplex Grinnell. Shortly after, I transitioned into a inspector position on the electronics side of things, receiving training in all aspects of fire alarm control panels and their peripheral devices. I was an on-call technician for many years, responding to emergency calls at all hours of the night, no matter the location in Kansas. It is my goal and my passion to provide my customers with exceptional and friendly service!
