Marmic Fire & Safety Company (MFS) is the successful expansion of Joplin Fire Protection (JFP) which began in 1951 with Charles and Mary Lou Teeter.  After decades of practicing customer-centric service JFP added territories in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas with a second generation of the Teeter Family at the helm.  During their tenure, Mickey and Martha Teeter formed a second company called Marmic to cover those areas outside of Joplin, MO Metro.  Today, the third generation is charging ahead with Marmic's growing prominence in the Midwest and, indeed, the nation.

In its core services of fire extinguisher, sprinkler, fire alarm, industrial fire suppression, and kitchen system fire suppression MFS competes with the top fire protection companies in the country.  But few, if any, other companies are as holistic in terms of safety.  By installing and servicing security and access control systems it demonstrates a well-rounded concern for the protection of life and property.  Additionally, selling personal protection equipment such as hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, reflective vests, and more establishes MFS as a complete, one-stop shop for home and workplace safety equipment.  This depth of services illustrates the importance the company places on customer safety no matter where they are or what they are doing.
