Acquisition of Northwest Safety Clean Inc. latest move in strategic growth that enhances PPE maintenance services for fire departments across the U.S.

DAYTON, OH [November 1, 2024] – LION Safety Solutions, a business unit of LION Group, Inc., is excited to announce its acquisition of Northwest Safety Clean Inc., effective November 1, 2024. This acquisition marks LION TotalCare's entry into the Pacific Northwest, adding a new facility at 8320 S 208th St, Ste H111, Kent, WA 98032. It further strengthens LION TotalCare’s commitment to exceeding PPE care standards for fire departments and first responders across the country.

Northwest Safety Clean Inc. has long been recognized for its compliance with NFPA 1851 and its reliable, high-quality service. Through LION TotalCare’s acquisition of Northwest Safety Clean Inc., the combined expertise of both companies will continue to deliver trustworthy services that exceed customer expectations.

“This acquisition is an exciting step forward in our mission to provide exceptional care and maintenance for firefighter PPE,” said Mark Smith, CEO of LION Safety Solutions. “We are committed to going beyond the basics, adhering strictly to the highest standards and ensuring that the safety of first responders remains our top priority.”

Steve Lakey, owner of Northwest Safety Clean Inc., shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We’ve built Northwest Safety Clean on trust, quality, and service, and I’m confident that LION TotalCare will continue that legacy. With their leadership, I see an even stronger focus on firefighter safety and excellence in PPE care.”

LION TotalCare now operates 8 specialized service locations across the United States, providing a full range of PPE care services, from inspection and cleaning to repair and gear rentals. In addition, the new Kent, WA location will soon offer LION’s innovative RedZone™ CO2 cleaning technology, which sets a new standard for removing harmful contaminants from firefighting gear. This advanced cleaning method effectively eliminates up to 98% of dangerous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other carcinogens without the use of water, making it not only highly efficient but also environmentally friendly.

“At LION TotalCare, we don’t just meet standards—we exceed them,” added Smith. “With the upcoming addition of our RedZone CO2 cleaning technology at the Kent facility, we’ll be able to offer an even higher level of protection for your gear, while also prioritizing firefighter safety and environmental sustainability.”
