The Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) staffed an exhibit booth at the National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) Annual Conference. This event was held on June 19-21, 2009 in Redmond, Washington.
SFPE is working with the NASFM Science Advisory Committee to promote having fire protection engineers employed in each state fire marshal’s office.
“Having a Fire Protection Engineer (FPE) on staff is a logical step in ratcheting up the professionalism of our office,” said Maine State Fire Marshal John Dean. “ An FPE on staff provides a more even platform for discussions with design professionals and has become even more desirable now that we are dealing with performance-based design of structures.”

More information about how fire protection engineers can be an asset in the state fire marshal’s office can be found on the NASFM website at: http://www.firemarshals.org/organization/science-advisory-committee/fire-protection-engineer-resources/.
