In 2017, there were 3,400 fire deaths in the US and surprisingly, that number is 9.6% higher than in 2008. There were 1,319,500 reported fires with 14,670 injuries that totaled at least $23 billion in losses, and that statistic is 12.0% higher than 2008.
While there has been an increase in the nation's Fire Death Rate, the good news is there is something that we can do about it. A properly installed and maintained automatic fire sprinkler system can save lives by dramatically reducing heat, flames, and smoke that is produced in a fire.
Local jurisdictions and federal agencies require that fire sprinkler systems are designed by a minimum level III certified fire sprinkler designer (or sprinkler planner), accredited by the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies. A level III senior technologist will ensure the scope of the fire protection system is fully compliant with local codes and ordinances, as well as effectively communicate to installation personnel plans and details necessary to install a complete and working fire protection system.
The value of certification lies in what it says about the professional that is designing your system, and Fire City Sprinklers has the expertise you need with the flexibility you want. With two decades of design in the fire protection industry, there is no challenge beyond our capabilities.
For good measure, NICET's website offers verification that can be searched either by a technologist's name or ID.
