About Ethan Bevlaqua

With over 26 years of experience in the fire protection industry, I’ve built my career from the ground up—starting as an entry-level apprentice at 18 and working my way into management. My journey has been defined by hands-on learning, perseverance, and a deep commitment to safety and excellence. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive expertise in fire alarm, suppression, fire sprinkler, and life safety systems, while leading teams, managing large-scale projects, and driving operational growth across multiple regions.I take pride in mentoring others, solving complex challenges, and ensuring every system and team I oversee meets the highest standards of reliability and performance. My career stands as proof that dedication, hard work, and a passion for protecting lives and property can take you from the trenches toward the top.
