McMillen Jacobs Water Resources Division is excited to announce Fire Protection Program Lead, Chris Curtis, PE, FPE, CFPS, NICET IV SET, has earned his California Fire Protection Engineering License.

Chris has 15 years of experience with a technical focus on and systems design for a variety of facilities. He designs medium and low-voltage power systems, power generation, electrical power distribution, lighting, communications, gas detection, intrusion detection, access control, sound, and public address, and lightning protection systems.

He is licensed in both Electrical Engineering and Fire Protection Engineering, is a Certified Fire Protection Specialist with the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and a Certified Fire Alarm Systems Technician Level IV with the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET). He has designed new and modified systems and solved numerous complicated problems on complex electrical and fire alarm, mass notification, and smoke control systems at hydro facilities, wastewater plants, fisheries projects, industrial, healthcare, process, petrochemical, high-security DOD/MilCon facilities, and underground/limited access tunnels and structures, nationally and internationally.

Chris is growing our fire protection engineering services in California and throughout the United States with his client-focused approach to project solutions.

We applaud him for achieving this goal, congratulations Chris!
The SFPE Board issued an update to the position statement on the roles of engineers and engineering technicians when both are working on the fire protection of a project.

Hey guys, I have a code question. I am trying to find in NFPA72 or Florida Building Code where is says when lightning protection is needed. Can anyone help with a chapter?
Took my test on April 10, 2012 and you have still not completed my certification .
Your managers don’t have the brains to pour p**s out of a boot with directions

I signed up for a practice test and the site directed me to a ExamStudio site which required me to set up a password . But the password takes me to a Nicet page that looks like it wants to reset my Nicet password .

Your IT Dept is got to be some of the dumbest stooges I have ever seen. And you gonna certify me ?
An overdue congratulations goes out to our Fire Alarm and Security Installation Manager Dominic for receiving his National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) Fire Alarm Systems Level IV certification! When we say we have experts on the Marco team, we mean it!

Why does no one answer the phone lines at NICET or return or respond to emails? Bad customer service!
Just had a quick question, hopefully. I’m in a discussion with a coworker and I don’t have my books by me. Does anyone know off hand where in the code it states that fire alarm shall be run in red 3/4” conduit?
Wilson & Company’s Adam Schart, PE, was at Northwest Kansas Technical College, giving a lecture on engineering ethics yesterday. He stated that “Engineering ethics boil down to honesty and integrity, but the most paramount in all ethics codes and cases is ensuring the health and safety of the public.” The engineering graduates were introduced to the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) and National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) code of ethics, hypothetical dilemmas, board reviewed cases, and personal experiences from Adam’s career.
