Under Mark's leadership and with the support of his wife, Carol, the company continued to grow, establishing long-lasting relationships with dedicated contractors. Even after Hohlt's passing in 2014, the legacy of commitment to safety and service persisted, with the team boasting over 28 years of collective experience.
Big Tex Fire Protection offers a comprehensive range of services, including new installations, system inspections, maintenance, and consultations for various types of fire suppression systems.
