About Us

Founded by Anthony Veltri, Rapid Fire Industries, LLC (RFI) has been a premier outsourcing solution for clients in a variety of industries. Realizing the need for rapid project completion coupled with precision and professionalism, Anthony has developed a team of highly qualified professionals who have numerous areas of expertise.

Our goal is to provide technical assistance and support to clients who need project timeslines to be met without incurring additional costs related to hiring part time employees, insurance, taxes on additional employees, etc.

We are based out of North Providence, RI, but have the ability to service clients virtually anywhere - depending on the type of services required. Our Mobile Mapping Unit is undergoing complete customization. Upon completion, we can respond to incidents anywhere in the U.S. and deliver for rental for incident training seminars and other educational purposes. Please contact us for more information.

Lab vs. Field

In many respects RFI is a “science based” operation, and Anthony is certainly a “science oriented” professional. Whereas many science-related firms are either lab-only or fieldwork-only, RFI presents a unique combination of both sets of reference points, combined in ways that give the most comprehensive and real “picture” possible – literally in the case of our maps, figuratively in all we do.

RFI offers a variety of related services, all underscored by a unique science background and a deep interest in how things work, and could work better.

If your business has a need for a smart technology solution, whether it is GIS focused or otherwise, RFI is an excellent resource.
