About Us
At AFT Fire Suppression and Hood Cleaning, family and community come first—and always have. Founded in 2008 by Wayne and Starla Sexton, AFT began as a small carpet cleaning service before expanding into restaurant hood cleaning in 2009. From day one, Wayne and Starla built the business on a strong foundation of integrity, reliability, and genuine care for their customers—without cutting corners.
Today, their focus is where they’re needed most—protecting local businesses, employees, and families through fire suppression systems, fire extinguisher services, and professional hood cleaning. As a family-owned and operated business, AFT is committed to delivering quality work that’s done right the first time and showing up for the communities they serve.
Because for AFT, it’s more than a service—it’s about safeguarding the people and places that matter most.
Meet the Team
At AFT, we’re small but mighty—and just the right amount of entertaining. As a family-owned business, we’ve built a team that takes integrity, reliability, and hard work seriously… even if they don’t always take themselves too seriously.
From compliance experts who can juggle fire marshal requirements (and farm animals), to master technicians known for strength, skill, and legendary hair, our crew brings personality and precision to every job. Add in a few specialists who thrive in controlled chaos and a 6'8" technician who doubles as a human step stool, and you’ve got a team that gets the job done right the first time—while keeping things interesting.
