The Total Group of Companies is comprised of 4 divisions: Fire, Rescue, Safety, & Medical. These divisions operate independent of one another, but can independently mesh together.
Our divisions were small companies before we merged. Each division we brought together was a sustainable business, and our founding directors were some of the best in the business - true professionals. Fire, Rescue, Safety, & Medical - all of these can operate independently of one another, but when you bring the best of the best together under one umbrella, we can truly offer our customers the best of all the worlds in one location, which is why we joined forces. NFPA Technicians and Firefighters, Fire System Specialists & Engineers, SPRAT Level 3’s, ITRA Level 3’s, CRSP’s & NCSO’s, EMT’s & Paramedics - our divisions have the best of the best.
Our divisions are COR certified, and we are members in good standing with ISNetworld, Complyworks & Avetta
