Pye-Barker Fire & Safety acquires DACSIS

ATLANTA — Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired DACSIS, a fire suppression and fire alarm systems integrator based in Scott, Louisiana, west of Lafayette.

Pye Barker said that DACSIS's expertise in full fire code protection for commercial and industrial customers complements its offerings of the company’s nearby commercial alarm and security teams and creates more opportunity for Pye-Barker to provide complete life safety protection to Gulf Coast businesses.

DACSIS – which stands for Detection, Alarms, Communications, Suppression and Integration Services – specializes in fire detection and alarm systems, fire extinguishers, fire suppression, special hazard and mass communication systems. With the motto, "Bringing it all together," DACSIS focuses on properly integrating these systems to provide a better experience and more efficient system for clients. Barry and Laurie Hohensee founded DACSIS in 2005, bringing on Silas and Pam Pellegrin as additional owners in 2009.

"At DACSIS, we take pride in providing clients customized life safety solutions that work together, and through regular inspection, helping to make sure those systems are performing optimally to protect our customers," said Barry Hohensee, DACSIS CEO and founder. "With Pye-Barker's resources and local teams, we're able to provide additional services that 'bring it all together,' and fulfill growing demand from today's customers for one-stop shop protection."

"The DACSIS team will play an important role in our Gulf Coast operations as we expand full-service life safety solutions to the region's customers," said Bart Proctor, CEO at Pye-Barker. "Our vision at Pye-Barker has always been to bring together fire and alarm services so that our communities and neighborhood businesses can count on one company for complete protection."

DACSIS's team will continue to serve customers in the Lafayette region, alongside established Pye-Barker's teams in the area.
