Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus VESDA by Xtralis

Come out and share a meal and brotherhood with your fellow Automatic Fire Alarm Association of New Jersey members. We now have a cash bar from 5:18 to 6:14.

Our focus is on education not competition, we believe through education we can raise the level of fire protection in NJ, increasing the level of safety for our clients, increasing profits for our members and adding the level of life safety for our friends, families and neighbors.

Attendance at meetings provides you with valuable Continuing Personal Development Points (CPDs) needed for your New Jersey Fire Alarm Permit re-certification as well as maintaining your NICET Certification.

AFAA-NJ membership entitles you to one dinner at each of our general meetings. You may bring additional people to the meeting and purchase their dinners @ $30 per person.

If you bring a potential member and that person joins AFAA-NJ, their dinner is “FREE”.
