The New Jersey Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers meets the first Monday of each month excluding July and August.  Membership is only $20.00 per year and dinner meetings $30.00.

Each meeting starts with a Social Hour: cash bar at 5:00 PM followed at 6:00 with our meeting and a one-hour seminar.  We are very lucky in NJ to have members that are some of the leading authorities in the field of Fire Detection, Fire Suppression, Risk Analysis and other life safety related technical topics.  The NJ SFPE tries to have one field trip each year. Attendance at these meetings as well as membership provides CPD’s for your NICET Certification or NJ DCA Permits.  The NJ SFPE holds a one-day technical seminar each spring.  This year we are looking to providing a mini-trade show as well.

We will likely focus on emerging technologies as well as getting back to some basics. Your input is appreciated prior to our finalizing the program, please keep it to yourself once the program is finalized though.
Most SFPE meeting presentations carry AIA credits as well as CEU and CPD’s.
