California Fire Sprinkler Fitters Save Lives

The purpose of fire sprinkler fitters is to install, inspect, repair, and maintain fire suppression life safety systems to protect building occupants as well as first responders in the event of catastrophic fires. According to FEMA, a fire can become deadly in two minutes and envelop an entire house in five

The importance of these professionals cannot be overstated, nor can the need for sprinkler fitters to have the academic and on-the-job training necessary to minimize the chances that a fire sprinkler system will fail during a crisis.
