Martin Blough Company Teresa Blough-Arnold

About

Martin Blough Company is a family-founded fire protection and safety business serving clients throughout Mississippi since 1970. The company began when founder Martin Blough, after serving in the U.S. Army and the Jackson Fire Department, started selling fire trucks in local towns and communities. From these early beginnings, he expanded the business into fire extinguisher sales and service and eventually became widely known for vent hood installations and fire suppression system services — core offerings that continue to define the company today. Over more than five decades, Martin Blough Company has built longstanding relationships with customers, many of whom have been with the company since its earliest years. The firm emphasizes personalized service, community connection, and reliable, code-compliant fire protection solutions that help protect life and property for small businesses, commercial kitchens, industrial facilities, and institutional clients across Mississippi. Services provided by Martin Blough Company include the installation, inspection, certification, maintenance, and repair of fire extinguishers; commercial kitchen vent hood design, sale, and installation; and fire suppression system installation and annual service. The company’s approach blends practical field experience with a deep commitment to safety, ensuring that systems are not only installed correctly but also regularly certified for compliance and performance. In addition to core fire protection work, the business also offers used cooking oil containers and extraction services, rounding out its services for commercial kitchens with a sustainability-focused solution for responsible disposal and processing of cooking oil, which is unique in the state of Mississippi. Martin Blough Company remains family-led, with founder Martin’s daughter, Teresa Blough-Arnold, now overseeing operations alongside a small dedicated team. The company continues to focus on high-quality customer care and long-term service relationships built on trust and reliability.
