Home About AFPS Products & Services Resources Testimonials Employment Contact Login About AFPS A locally owned family business, Advanced Fire Protection Services was founded in 1989 by Mike and Linda Brown with the vision of becoming the most respected life-safety company in the Southeast. Over the years, AFPS has expanded and diversified services, opening a second office in Panama City Beach in 2005 and a third office in Tallahassee in 2020. What started as a fire extinguisher service provider has now become the trusted life-safety partner for some of the largest condos, apartment complexes, restaurants, retail establishments, industrial and healthcare facilities in Northwest Florida. Our Mission We dedicate ourselves to saving lives and protecting property by providing the highest level of comfort, confidence, and compliance for our clients. We will prove this through our pledge to industry best practices and urgently demonstrating our caring and professional commitment to each other, and to our clients. By living our mission and focusing on our vision, Mike, Linda and a few standout employees quickly made Advanced Fire Protection Services the company of choice. Our innovative “Total Life Safety Package” concept continues to keep us best in class. Now, more than 30 years later, their daughter, Dana Sudheimer, is continuing their legacy by maintaining a family culture and customer-centered approach to business as AFPS continues to expand.
