Fire-Lite was founded in 1952 by Edward Levy, along with his son, Herbert. At the time, the company installed and serviced fire alarm systems.

By 1973, the company had grown substantially, and moved into a new building. Fire-Lite was the first company to introduce a compact, inexpensive addressable fire alarm control panel.
