Complete fire protection for homes, businesses, and restaurants across New Jersey. From routine extinguisher service to custom suppression systems, our licensed technicians bring eight decades of expertise to every job — large or small.
Whether you're managing a single restaurant hood or a multi-building commercial facility, we deliver certified installation, testing, and maintenance backed by three generations of field experience.
Annual inspection, CO₂ recharges, hydrostatic testing, and NFPA-compliant installation for facilities of any size.
Custom wet chemical kitchen fire suppression systems designed, installed, and maintained to NFPA-17A and NFPA-96 standards.
Code-compliant testing to keep your egress illumination reliable when the power goes out.
Hands-on fire extinguisher demonstrations for your team — because equipment only works when people know how to use it.
Our 24/7 emergency line connects you directly to a certified technician, not a call center. Restaurants, commercial kitchens, food truck or trailer, call any day, any time.
In 1946, Charles Ammirato opened the doors of Bergen Fire Equipment & Service on Johnson Avenue in Hackensack. It was a small shop with a big mission: give New Jersey families and businesses the straightforward fire protection they deserved.
His grandsons — Chris, John, and the late Richard Rodgers — grew up in the shop, working alongside Charles as apprentices. They learned the trade the way it should be learned: with their hands, one job at a time. When Charles stepped back, they took the reins.
Today, Bergen Fire is proudly run by the fourth generation of the family, joined by a team of skilled technicians who treat every call — from a single extinguisher recharge to a full suppression build-out — with the same care Charles gave his first customer.

Reviews from the restaurants, property managers, and business owners we serve every day.
Bergen Fire has serviced our restaurant's suppression system for over a decade. Chris and his team are always prompt, professional, and thorough. When we had an emergency late on a Friday, they answered the phone and had a tech out within the hour.
Walked in with an old extinguisher, no appointment, and was out the door in twenty minutes with a fresh one. Fair prices, straightforward advice, no upselling. A true local institution — you can tell they actually care about doing the job right.
We use Bergen Fire across all six of our properties in North Jersey. Reliable annual inspections, thorough reporting, and they catch things other companies miss. The peace of mind alone is worth it — but the pricing is genuinely fair too.
From our Hackensack shop, our technicians respond to every corner of the Garden State — Bergen to Cape May, Newark to Trenton — with the same speed and care we've brought to local jobs since 1946.
