It all started in 1989, when a 19-year-old kid with a passion for fire safety sold his first fire extinguisher. Today, that kid, firefighter Allen Kronebusch, runs AKE Companies, LLC. (dba AKE Safety Equipment), which manufactures and sells STOP-FYRE™, the The World's BEST Fire Extinguisher™. It is the only firefighter owned, operated, and endorsed fire extinguisher manufacturer in the country. We carry the highest possible rating, an A-plus, from the Better Business Bureau. But, most importantly, we’re in business for the right reasons–to help others and to save lives. AKE has never lost its focus on the things that matter, like family, faith, and fire safety. And we consider our customers to be our family.
