Fire Prevention

On July 13, Fire Inspector Tyler Tjeerdsma passed his NICET LEVEL III exam. Level III is for technicians who can work independently with standards, plans, and specifications to produce complete plans for typical/standard systems for approval. There are some folks who have been in the fire alarm business that have had great difficulty passing this exam. It is quite an accomplishment for someone who has to focus on several different disciplines in Fire Prevention to pass this specialized exam and gain certification. Please congratulate Tyler when you see him.

School is back in full swing and Captain Cox, Inspector Tjeerdsma, Inspector Fey, Inspector Alberico, along with Avera, are delivering grade school fire safety education to students.

SFFR Prevention Staff with help from T3 B and C shift delivered RA fire safety training to USF and Augustana University in August.
