Founded in 1923 by Alexander Gow and his son as a family business, we initially specialized in marine fire suppression services and USCG required annual inspections. Gow’s goal was simple: provide quality fire suppression systems to keep the community safe – even on the water.
Over the next few decades, our suppression services and service areas continued to grow along with Seattle and the surrounding communities. Gow Fire has been here through all the local improvements and changes, providing the same quality installation, inspection, and maintenance services you’ve come to expect.
In 1991, the company was sold to Jim and Greg Schuler, keeping Gow Fire’s history for being a family-owned business intact. That tradition continues today, with Dan and Jacob Schuler running the day-to-day operations.
Despite the change in ownership, the company’s mission remains the same: to provide superior fire suppression systems, services, and inspections for every customer and project- ensuring the satisfaction of our customers and the safety of their businesses.
