GOAL
Every decision we make as a company is about you, our customer. We wouldn't be where we are today without you, and we don't take that lightly. TheFireStore started by simply seeing and fulfilling a need in the Fire Service. It is how we operated then, and it's how Witmer continues to operate today.

Billy Goldfeder on the history of Witmer Public Safety Group
MEET OUR FOUNDER
The explosive growth of Witmer Public Safety Group, Inc. began when firefighter Jim Witmer and his family launched HelmetPartsSource.com—one of the first online stores specifically for firefighters. As a family man with a brillian business mind, Jim laid the foundation for what has become one of the most successful public safety suppliers in the nation.
“As a firefighter for nearly 4 decades, I know what is important to you. We're your sole source for the lifesaving gear you need at prices you can afford.”
Jim Witmer, Co-Founder and Chairman
Witmer Public Safety Group
MEET OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
In February 2016 James Witmer was promoted to the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), assuming the position in place of his father, Jim Witmer, who continued to serve as Co-Founder and Chairman of TheFireStore. After seeing his father grow the company from a family-owned and operated business to a 200+ employee powerhouse, James had a passion for his customers, heart-felt appreciation for his employees, and a vision for company expansion.
