“We are often saddened and shocked by the devastation of uncontrolled fire spread through a built environment. Each day, my team and I envelop ourselves in the challenge of designing and coordinating fire protection systems, knowing that every single system adds an additional layer to reducing the risk of a costly fire and increases layers of life safety.”
– Sean Tingey, F.P.E., Licensed Fire Protection Engineer
