About Us
In March of 1972, ACME FIRE AND SAFETY CO. LTD. was formed between Lino Tonolli and Bruce Buckner, and was located across the street from where the Joyce Street Sky Train Station, Vancouver, B.C. was later built.
In 1974 ACME FIRE purchased and moved into a building at 3427 Kingsway, Vancouver, B.C. In 1996 a new associate, Michael Tonolli, was brought on board, and in 2002 Michael became the sole owner of ACME FIRE. After 32 years at our Kingsway location we purchased and moved into a more progressive facility located @ 7015 Curragh Avenue, Burnaby, (just 10 minutes east of the previous location), 1 Block south of Kingsway just past Buller Avenue.
Since 1972 ACME FIRE has grown from a two-person operation to 40 employees, several of which have over twenty-five and 30 years with us, many over 5 and 10 years. This long-term commitment extends to our customers through dedication and knowledge of all kinds of fire safety services.
In ACME's over 37 years of successful business, and continued growth, our established customer base includes the likes of Mcdonalds Restaurants of Canada, A & W Restaurants, White Spot Restaurants, Canada Safeway Limited, BCIT, Vancouver Airport, UBC and Vancouver Hospitals… commercial buildings, restaurants, and apartment complexes.
We are members of NAFED (National Association for Fire Equipment Distributors, NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), and FPOA (Fire Prevention Officer's Association).
ACME FIRE is insured and bondable. All of our established technicians are manufacturer certified, as well as ASTTBC (Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia) certified.
