About legacy fire protection
A Business Built from the Ground Up
Legacy Fire Protection is a full-service company specializing in fire system inspections, installations, repairs, and maintenance.
When Blake and his father acquired the business, it had a small footprint—but big potential. Running operations from an apartment and storing equipment in a garage, they built Legacy on adaptability, hard work, and a deep commitment to customer service. Today, those same values drive their continued growth across Indiana.

Finding the right space
A Turning Point for Growth
One of the pivotal moments in Legacy’s growth was the move to RISE Commercial District. While operating out of a home office had worked in the early stages, the company needed a more professional and scalable setup to attract larger clients and establish credibility.
This move allowed Legacy to grow in multiple ways. With a legitimate office space, the company could more effectively manage operations, hire additional team members, and streamline processes. More importantly, it reinforced their commitment to building a professional, customer-centric brand. Having a dedicated workspace enabled the team to strengthen client relationships and operate with the level of professionalism that sets Legacy apart in the industry.
