About FES Solutions

As the CEO of a commercial construction company in Iowa with 38 years in the industry, I’ve seen a lot of innovative products and tools brought to market that have truly benefited our labor costs and our industry in general. But one area we all still struggle with is the jobsite fire extinguishers. Whether you purchase the heavy, awkward, hard to haul around plastic cones or you make your own, we all must be OSHA compliant. Depending on the size of your project, you may have as few as 2 or as many as 100 fire extinguisher stands you're constantly moving around. Think of the labor savings if we all used a convenient, lightweight, truly portable stand that can be stored and deployed easily.  

I bring you the FES solution. My new invention will save you money from day one!

Game-Changer

In 2012 our construction company secured the interior finish package for the renowned University of Iowa’s Stead Family Children’s Hospital, home of the famous Iowa Hawkeye WAVE! Before this milestone project, we built temporary fire extinguisher stands from plywood,  painted them red, and hauled them from site to site to meet OSHA safety site regulations.

The idea for our innovative fire extinguisher stand was born when we were tasked with creating over 200 extinguisher stands for the hospital, a task not initially budgeted for.

Through numerous sketches and iterative design, we developed a collapsible stand that maximized space efficiency and ease of transport. This breakthrough led to mass production, with these stands proving their worth time and again. Recognizing their effectiveness, we decided to share this versatile and economical portable fire extinguisher solution with the wider industry.

Our stands are robust yet lightweight, outclassing competitors in weight, portability, and collapsibility. They are designed to be easily transported across job sites and can be conveniently hung on job trailers' walls, freeing up precious floor space. The FES Solutions fire extinguisher stand is truly a game-changer for commercial job sites, and is proudly MADE in the USA!
