SHARED KNOWLEDGE + QUALITY RESOURCES
⇒ BETTER FIRE PROTECTION
MeyerFire.com is a mission-based online platform built to help fire protection professionals shine.
Our goal is to help save lives. We know the best way to do that is to support you, the fire protection professional, do great work.
We see our purpose as supporting your efforts to effectively achieve great work. We aim to do so by sharing industry best practices, by creating helpful tools and resources, and by bringing together industry experts to share their expertise.
OUR CAUSE IS SIMPLE: SAVE LIVES, GLOBALLY.
We are working towards this in two ways:
(1) EMPOWER PROFESSIONALS FOR A MORE FIRE-SAFE WORLD.
We work to help fire protection professionals shine. When you are able to do great work, you are the advocate and the expert that makes real change happen. We want to support you in what you do best, with articles, tools, education and community that helps you be effective and grow all the time. Empowering the professionals in this industry is our best shot at making a positive impact in improving fire safety around the world.
(2) END THE WATER CRISIS IN OUR LIFETIME.
Water is not only good for suppressing fires. It's the source of life we need to live. Seriously. Nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide are without access to clean water. Access to water means education, income, and health - especially for women and children. Fixing this major challenge is possible, and possible within our lifetime. We support charity:water in helping bring access to clean water worldwide.
These projects have only been made possible because of the community and your support on this platform, so thank you!

WHO IS JOE?
|
Joe Meyer, apparently sometimes called "JoeMeyerFire", is a licensed Fire Protection Engineer and is the creator of MeyerFire.com; a website dedicated to helping professionals in the fire protection industry. He works now as a full-time content developer for meyerfire.com out of St. Louis, Missouri.
Joe is passionate about the fire protection industry and about improving parts of the industry in a positive way. He develops a mix of written content, tools, resources, and other projects aimed around high-impact opportunities to better fire protection practices overall. His latest impact-project has centered around MeyerFire University; an online, on-demand training platform for those with 0-3 years experience in the fire suppression, fire alarm, or life safety space. Joe graduated from the University of Kansas in Architectural Engineering and later the University of Maryland in Fire Protection Engineering. Before setting out on his own in 2019 to pursue his own practice, Joe worked in fire alarm, suppression, and clean agent design for a large MEP firm in Kansas City and then led a fire protection group for a small MEP & Structural Engineering firm in St. Louis, Missouri. |

What's up with all the sketches? Joe became very interested in architectural sketching during drafting & studio courses in college and started an online art shop selling minimalist architectural artwork. The online shop ran from 2012 to 2020 (when meyerfire.com began to take off) and included hundreds of different sketches, illustrations & painting. He now leads his illustration team to produce the visual content that MeyerFire may be best known for today.
Joe wrote the MeyerFire PE Prep Guide (beginning in 2016), compiled the NFSA's Expert of the Day Handbooks (2004-2018 and 2019-2020 Editions), and was a contributing author to NFSA's Layout, Detail and Calculations of Fire Sprinkler Systems textbook (3rd Edition, 2021). Joe has served as a Chapter President in SFPE, has served on the Engineering Advisory Board for the University of Kansas CEAE program, and has taught as a lecturer at the university level.
Joe created and writes regularly at www.meyerfire.com, and continues to create tools and resources for fire protection professionals today.
