Fox Valley Fire & Safety celebrates 65 Years in business

Fox Valley Fire & Safety celebrates 65 Years in business. 

What started by two brothers-in-law (Dale Tatge and Keith Kellenberger) in 1960 with one service truck has grown to over 350 employees and a fleet of over 250 vehicles. Elgin has always been our home, the Fox River Valley was the original target market and our namesake. Today we provide fire protection equipment service and installation to the entire Chicagoland area, a 50 mile radius of Elgin. 

Over the decades we have moved from Mr. Tatge’s basement, his garage, our first independent building on Highland Ave, to a larger facility on Berkley St. near ECC and finally to our current location on Pinnacle Drive in the Northwest Business Park off Randall Rd. We are 100% employee owned and are thankful for 65 years of wonderful customers and employees.
