“Over the last three to four years, we have focused heavily on company and process improvements to position ourselves for future growth,” Drago said.

The company has implemented the Purvis Fire Station Alerting System in California, the Carolinas and Massachusetts, and a system is in the works for the Ocean State.

Fortunate to have sustained minimal impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, Purvis is planning to launch new products this year to enhance its fire station alerting system, Drago said.
