22 South Fire Inc. was established in 2014 by two founders living southwest of Calgary, in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies off Highway 22. Today we operate out of a shop in NE Calgary, with a friendly, highly trained team.
We've built our business on consistency, transparency and treating every client as people who matter to us, not just another job.
Our clients get to know each of us. You'll recognise the technician who shows up, and the voice that answers the phone.
Steve Teshima and Tara Ross founded 22 South Fire in 2014 in the foothills southwest of Calgary. Today the team carries over 85 years of combined experience in fire detection and suppression.
Steve began his fire detection career in 1990 with Simplex, becoming a manufacturer-certified programmer, then spent 12 years with Edwards servicing, commissioning and programming major downtown Calgary systems including City Hall, Bankers Hall and the Husky Tower. Over the same two decades he served with the Turner Valley Fire Department, rising to captain and deputy chief.
Tara started in the fire alarm industry in 1994. After completing her business degree, she moved to Calgary in 1999 to work with Edwards Fire Alarm. She began in service sales before transitioning into product sales. In 2014, she and Steve became dealers for the Vigilant (now Kidde) fire product and formed 22 South Fire Inc.
