Why the fire sprinkler industry?

Fire sprinklers are critical instruments for fighting fires and saving lives. They control or extinguish fires in the early stages, making it easier for firefighters to put out any fire that remains. As a fire sprinkler professional, you'll play a significant role in ensuring the safety of people, buildings and homes.

In this role, you'll be responsible for a wide variety of sprinkler systems, including the installation, service, and repair of wet, dry, pre-action, deluge, and foam suppression systems, as well as fire pumps and backflow devices.
