Professional & Business Services

Jorgensen Company sells, installs, and services fire and safety products. The line includes fire extinguishers, fire protection & suppression systems, fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, gas detection monitors & systems, and a full line of safety equipment.

Jorgensen Company began in 1932 when Hans Jorgensen, then a Fresno auto mechanic, was asked by the local Fire Marshal if he would be interested in refilling fire extinguishers, since the former service company had closed. This seemed like a good way to make an extra dollar during the Great Depression and Hans agreed. Little did he imagine at the time what this sideline would develop into.

What does the 21st Century hold? The company continues to explore opportunities for expansion into new markets in Northern and Southern California, as well as beyond via the Internet. We are also actively promoting a service concept the company is uniquely suited for: Integrated Fire Protection. With this program, large single or multi-location companies can have all of their fire protection needs handled by one vendor, for one set price, and invoiced on a regular schedule. And as we have since the beginning, Jorgensen Company will continue to aggressively seek out and develop new products and services for the benefit of our customers. It’s our mission.
