Areo-Fire was founded in 1951 in <\/span>Montlu\u00e7on<\/span>, France<\/span>,<\/span> by Mr. <\/span>Rochelet<\/span>,<\/span> inventor of the permanent pressure system in powder extinguishers. He created an alliance with Mr. Jean Picard and entrusted him with the mission of marketing the distribution of fire extinguishers in all the French colonies of the world. More than 40 branches were opened. It is from this commercial experience that <\/span>Are<\/span>o<\/span>-F<\/span>ire<\/span> in Canada has been able to take advantage of to become what it is today.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
