OUR HISTORY

In 1925, Jay L Harman started what would become a key city player in the world of fire equipment. Begun originally to sell janitorial supplies and fire extinguisher fluid (carbon tetrachloride) to El Paso Natural Gas Company, Jay L Harman Fire Equipment Co. soon came into high demand among other El Paso businesses.

EPNG, among many companies, began requesting Jay L Harman’s quality products to enhance not only their productivity, but also their safety. In 1955, Jay took on a partner, Mr. E. H. Alexander. Together they expanded his ever-widening sphere of business for five years until, after a fulfilling career of providing quality products to the El Paso area, Jay retired in 1960.

Jay L Harman Fire Equipment Co. took another turn in 1973 when illness forced Mr. Alexander to retire and leave the legacy to employee Ed Hineline. Together with his wife Glinda, Ed determined to continue the heritage of excellence to El Paso by serving and providing for the area for the next twenty-six years. Then, while celebrating its 75th year in business in October of 2000, the Hineline's sold the company and Travis Jolliff has maintained its long tradition of being locally owned and operated.   To this day, Jay L Harman Fire Equipment Co. has remained true to its original purpose by continually expanding the product line and service area to meet the regions ever emerging safety needs.
