Acme Fire and Safety Co Ltd

In March of 1972, Acme Fire and Safety Co. Ltd. was formed between Lino Tonolli and Bruce Buckner, and was located across the street from where the Joyce-Collingwood Sky Train Station was later built.

In 1974 Acme Fire purchased and moved into a building at 3427 Kingsway in Vancouver. In 1996 a new associate, Michael Tonolli, was brought on board, and in 2002 Michael became the sole owner of Acme Fire. After 32 years at our Kingsway location the business moved into a more progressive 12,000 square foot facility located at 7015 Curragh Avenue, in Burnaby.

Since 1972 Acme Fire has grown from a two-person operation to over 40 employees. Our technicians average over 8 years of experience. This long-term commitment extends to our customers through dedication and knowledge of all kinds of fire safety services.
