VSC Fire & Security Inc. of Ashland, Virginia, has acquired Arkansas Automatic Sprinklers/United Fire Suppression of Cabot, Virginia, a full-service fire protection and security company specializing in fire suppression and low-voltage integration.

"I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to bring AAS into the VSC portfolio," Mike Meehan, VSC president, said. "Tommy Clements and his management team have built an outstanding company that is an excellent cultural fit with our team."
