Gain Fire and Life Safety Skills Through Hands-on Experience
Since the days of elementary school, we all have heard the benefits of learning skills through hands-on experiences. Compared to reading and memorization, hands-on learning provides individuals an opportunity to experience their learning, instead of being a passive participant.

Reading about fire protection equipment can only offer surface-level comprehension. Apprentices are supported with engaging opportunities to learn new skills through hands-on learning experiences in a collaborative environment. Our comprehensive apprenticeship program provides the valuable opportunity to gain on-the-job experience through working with fire protection equipment under the supervision of our experienced technicians. Our licensed technicians love to take on the role of mentoring incoming technicians and take pride in providing exceptional guidance and support.

At Impact Fire, we value our employees and provide the opportunity to start earning wages while they continue to learn. A standard apprenticeship program may supply how-to guides and step-by-step instructions, but a truly effective apprenticeship program will provide hands-on learning experiences to improve retention, build confidence, and bolster capabilities.

Receive Company-Sponsored Comprehensive Training

An essential component of the apprenticeship program is the extensive company-sponsored training courses and accredited certifications offered. Robust training opportunities allow apprentices and helpers to broaden their skills and pursue their interests in order to push their careers forward. All training opportunities are reimbursed upon achieving the required license or certification and meeting the requirements. Our company-sponsored training programs include:

Fire and life safety field technicians create the foundation of fire suppression teams, playing the role of the sturdy backbone, ensuring high quality service and frictionless implementation. Responsible for inspecting, servicing, installing, and maintaining fire and life safety equipment, a field technician is working every day to ensure their customers’ needs are met.

At Impact Fire, we pride ourselves on our diverse group of talented and passionate fire and life safety professionals. From fire extinguisher technicians to fire sprinkler fitters, we have conducted several interviews with various Impact Fire employees to provide you an inside look into a typical day in the life of fire and life safety field technicians.

A Typical Workday for a Fire and Life Safety Field Technician
It's difficult to use blanket statements and generalizations to encompass a typical workday for fire and life safety field technicians due to their wide range of responsibilities. One of the few accurate generalizations is that fire and life safety field technicians can expect no two days will be the same. If you fear monotony, a field technician position is a great place to start.

Field technicians for various services can expect to see on average 5-10 projects or tasks assigned to them each day. These tasks can include but are not limited to:

Kitchen hood inspections
Fire extinguisher maintenance
Fire suppression system installation
Tailored fire sprinkler design
Fire alarm testing
Fire pump code consulting
Backflow device repair

In addition to their service responsibilities, field technicians play an integral role in the collaborative process required daily to ensure the smooth flow of operations. Field technicians utilize their interpersonal skills on a daily basis to be productive team members and ensure they are equipped with the proper tools to do their jobs correctly. One of our fire suppression field technicians, Kyle, had this to say about the daily collaborative process:

“I consistently have open communication with my colleagues in the field. I use my peers to ask questions and glean insights I have yet to learn. They are always eager to answer anything I throw at them. My supervisor is always available and willing to take time out of her day to go into job specifics and/or software-related inquiries. Everyone is very down to earth and approachable. Working alongside them is seamless.”

Regardless of the service area, whether that be fire extinguishers or kitchen fire suppression systems, collaboration will be utilized each and every day. From dispatching and scheduling with administration to ordering materials and supplies with management, a field technician must be able to communicate effectively in order to maintain productivity.

Fire and life safety technicians pride themselves on their commitment to protecting business assets, properties, and, most importantly, human life from the dangers of fire. The selfless and integral role fire and life safety professionals play in local communities contributes to the rewarding nature of a fire and life safety career.

Besides being viewed as respected community leaders, there are several reasons to work in the fire and life safety industry.

The Benefits of Working in the Fire and Life Safety Industry
There are many advantages for those interested in becoming the ‘superhero’ of their community. To get a better understanding, here are the top benefits future fire and life safety employees can expect to receive once entering the fire and life safety field.

Secure Your Position with Consistent Demand
According to the Centers of Excellence for Labor Market Research (COE), employment for the fire technology occupational group is expected to increase by 9% between 2019 and 2024 despite a staggering economy. The large growth in predicted employment rates paints a clear picture of the increased demand and growing necessity for highly qualified and trained fire and life safety technicians.

Fire and life safety technicians are in high demand yet there is a dwindling supply of qualified engineers. This shortage is making it more difficult for companies to recruit qualified professionals and creating a more lucrative opportunity for those looking to enter and start a committed fire and life safety technician career. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated the unwavering demand and essential nature associated with the fire and life safety industry. When other industries are halted in the future due to unforeseen disruptions, fire and life safety personnel will remain employed, on-duty, and ready to serve their customers and community at large.

Make a Positive Community Impact
Fire and life safety does not exist in a vacuum. Fire and life safety personnel actively step beyond the scope of organizations and businesses and enter the community in which they serve. The fire and life safety industry perk not listed in your contract is the joy and pure satisfaction that comes with knowing that you have made a positive impact on individual businesses and the community at large.

At Impact Fire, our team of highly trained fire and life safety professionals take pride in developing long-standing relationships with local businesses to provide superior service and fire protection expertise in the communities we serve.

Work on a Variety of Projects in Many Different Industries
The installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair of fire and life safety equipment is needed for countless projects and in a wide variety of industries. This equipment and services are needed everywhere from retail, to manufacturing, to government, to healthcare.

With a wide range of serviced products including fire alarms, fire extinguishers, fire pumps, and fire sprinkler systems, fire and life safety technicians have a variety of different areas of specialization to explore early in their career development. Fire and life safety technicians can find themselves working on an extensive project implementing a fire sprinkler system for a commercial kitchen one day and inspecting and testing fire sprinklers for college campuses the next. There is never a mundane Monday or a typical Tuesday when working in the fire and life safety field.

Partake in Robust Career Development Opportunities
A fire and life safety company that values the career development of their employees will provide training opportunities to become more diversified in the industry. Robust training opportunities allow new employees to broaden their skills and interests in order to push their career forward. It’s important to choose a fire and life safety company that has established a collaborative company culture and environment that promotes and prioritizes training and certifications for its dedicated employees.
