Double Eight Fire Protection, Columbus Ohio, was formerly known as a regional branch of Northstar Fire Protection. That Columbus, Ohio region was managed by Richard Evans. In 2008 Northstar Fire Protection announced it was closing its doors. Upon announcement of that devastating news, Mr. Evans realized that his current customer base relied on him, his team, and his companyâs expertise in the fire protection industry. He also realized that challenges were on the horizon. He met these challenges face to face and started Double Eight Fire Protection. Initially the Double Eight team consisted of Mr. Evans, working out of his home, and a small group of field staff. After forming a partnership with two other individuals in 2012, their company expanded to a full staff in Ohio and New York. This exceptional staff includes 5 licensed sprinkler designers, two design assistants, three customer service representatives, twenty sprinkler technicians in Columbus and fifteen sprinkler technicians in New York. The above mentioned customers rely on their services throughout regions of the eastern United States through the Midwest.
