Total Fire Protection Expands to Pennsylvania with Addition of Victory Fire Protection

Two trusted fire protection companies unite to expand capabilities, strengthen services, and create new opportunities for customers and employees

Annapolis, MD - September 24, 2026 - Total Fire Protection ("TFP"), a leading provider of fire protection services and portfolio company of MRE Capital, announced the addition of Victory Fire Protection, based in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, to its growing network of nationwide locations. The addition marks Total Fire Protection's ninth location and expands the company's footprint into a fifth state, establishing its first presence in Pennsylvania. This brings together two experienced fire protection companies committed to protecting lives and property through dependable service, technical expertise, and lasting customer relationships.

"Total Fire Protection's addition of Victory Fire Protection is a great example of our growth strategy in action - partnering with strong, values-driven operators and giving them the resources to expand into new markets," said David Williams, CEO of MRE Capital. "Victory Fire Protection's reputation in the Pottstown area speaks for itself, and we're excited to support TFP's entry into Pennsylvania as it continues building a best-in-class national platform."

By combining their teams, resources, and capabilities, Total Fire Protection and Victory Fire Protection will better serve customers throughout the greater Philadelphia area and across Pennsylvania. The combined organization will offer an expanded range of fire and life safety services while maintaining the personalized attention and trusted relationships customers expect.

"This merger brings together two strong teams with shared values and a commitment to exceptional service," said Ryan Goossens, President of Total Fire Protection. "Together, we will be better equipped to serve our customers, support our employees, and continue building for the future."

Originally founded by Vic and Sue Weigand and now led by current owner Digger Weigand, Victory Fire Protection has built a strong reputation throughout the greater Pottstown area for its commitment to reliability, technical expertise, and customer service. The company provides a full range of fire protection services, including design, inspections, testing, maintenance, and emergency repairs.

"Joining Total Fire Protection allows us to offer our customers the same trusted, local service they've always relied on, now backed by the resources, technology, and national scale of a larger organization," said Weigand, President of Victory Fire Protection, who will remain in his current role. "We're excited about what this partnership means for our team and our customers - and for the new capabilities we can now bring to Pennsylvania through Total Fire & Security and Total Industrial Solutions."

Victory Fire Protection will expand its offerings to customers through two additional divisions: Total Fire & Security and Total Industrial Solutions. These divisions will allow the Pottstown team to provide Pennsylvania customers with a broader range of integrated services, including security system design, installation, and monitoring, and industrial safety solutions, which includes dry chemical and fire foam suppression systems, flame detectors and fire pumps, alongside its core fire protection capabilities.

With the addition of Victory Fire Protection's approximately 40 employees, Total Fire Protection now operates nine locations across five states and employs approximately 570 people, reflecting the company's continued growth strategy of partnering with respected, established fire protection businesses that share its commitment to quality, safety and service excellence.

Total Fire Protection plans to continue this growth trajectory and seek additional partnerships with what it believes are best-in-class full-service (installation, inspection, and monitoring) fire protection companies nationwide.
