In 1898 Charles E. Potter began developing products that sent electronically coded signals to a central monitoring station. This allowed fire and police officials to be instantly dispatched to any fire or security emergency. By 1920, Potter Electric Signal Company was utilizing customized products and monitoring them with the latest telecommunications equipment. In a time when human initiative was the most valuable industrial commodity, Charles Potter was able to combine state-of-the-art equipment with dedicated men to provide St. Louis with the best night watchmen service in the metropolitan area. Today, Potter is carrying on the legacy of Charles E. Potter by combining the latest technology in fire protection with the dedicated manpower for which they have been known for over one hundred years. With unwavering dedication to their customers, Potter looks to continue as the industry standard in both product and service.

Orr is A Legacy in Leadership in Mission-Critical Fire Protection.  Founded in 1948, ORR Corporation began with Clark Orr Sr. selling industrial safety products from the trunk of his car. In 1971, ORR Protection was established as one of the nation’s first fire suppression companies, marking the start of a focused commitment to life safety and property protection. Today, ORR Protection delivers more than 50 years of specialized fire protection experience, backed by over 125 years of collective industry expertise. We serve environments where safety, uptime, and operational continuity are non-negotiable. What began with entrepreneurial grit has evolved into a nationally recognized leader in mission-critical fire protection. Our history is more than a timeline; it is the foundation of our disciplined approach to innovation, performance, and long-term partnership.  

A Culture Built on Integrity ... What truly sets ORR apart is our culture. As a family-owned company, we operate with integrity, honor our commitments, and prioritize long-term relationships over short-term gains. We treat our customers and partners as an extension of our own team. Protecting what matters most requires trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to excellence. That philosophy guides every project, every service call, and every interaction.



We're All About Protecting What Matters.  Since 1939, we have dedicated ourselves to fire protection engineering, initially in the United States and now worldwide. Today, our expertise, commitment and passion extend across additional domains — including accessibility consulting, risk and hazard analysis, process safety, security risk and emergency management as well as digital innovation across many of our services.  

Our History ... A Story of Growth, Innovation + Success.  Jensen Hughes was launched in 2014 through the historic merger of Hughes Associates and Rolf Jensen & Associates (RJA), two of the most experienced and respected fire protection engineering companies at the time. Since then, we’ve expanded through strategic acquisitions, growing our global presence and service offerings. Through the integration of more than 30 engineering and consulting firms, our global reach has expanded significantly, establishing a market presence 7x larger than that of our closest competitor. Our legacy firms trace their origins back to 1939, a rich history that spans over 80 years of knowledge and innovation worldwide.
