Rock Gravel
Department Manager for Fire Extinguishers, Kitchen Hood Systems, and Suppression Systems
Michael “Rock” Gravel brings over 30 years of experience in the fire protection industry, including time as a firefighter. As the head of Taylor Fire’s Special Hazards division, he oversees the design, installation, and maintenance of fire protection systems for various high-risk environments, including oil processing facilities, marine vessels, commercial kitchens, and server rooms. His extensive knowledge and problem-solving skills ensure that even the most complex fire protection challenges are met with practical solutions.
Originally from Juneau, Rock moved to the Mat-Su Valley 15 years ago and joined Taylor Fire immediately upon arrival. His first week on the job set the tone for his career—flying to a remote lodge on a ski plane, traveling by dog sled, and taking a four-wheeler to install a kitchen fire system. His response? “I love this job!” Since then, he has worked across Alaska, embracing both the trade and the breathtaking landscapes along the way. With a "don’t take can’t" attitude, Rock is committed to finding solutions for every project that comes his way.
