A MOVEMENT FOR BETTER FIRE PROTECTION
|
Why can't we spend more time doing the things that help our business instead of laboring within it? Why should large corporations be the only parties equipped with the quickest tools? This website is the anthem for the curious, the freelancer, the passionate, the rookie, the up-and-comer, the inspector, the cubicle champion, and the self-driven trailblazer. You already care about doing great work. What if you could do it faster, better, with quality resources and community? MeyerFire.com was created to help you excel as an expert and leader in fire protection. This is our anthem. Join the movement for better fire protection. |

WHO IS JOE?
Joe Meyer is a licensed Fire Protection Engineer and writer who has a passion for the industry. He runs a successful small fire protection engineering practice focusing in fire suppression, fire alarm and life safety applications in St. Louis, Missouri.
Joe graduated from the University of Kansas in Architectural Engineering and later the University of Maryland in Fire Protection Engineering. Before beginning 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 undergraduate drafting & studio courses and started an online art shop selling minimalist architectural sketches. The online shop ran from 2012 to 2020 (when the engineering-side of things took off) and included hundreds of sketches, illustrations & painting. He now leads his illustration team to produce the visual content that MeyerFire may be best known for today. |

Early in college Joe was introduced to fire protection industry from a guest lecture by a Fire Protection Engineer, and never looked back. He finds something fascinating about helping save lives through automatic building systems during such a rare and small window of time where fires happen.
BUT, WHY?
WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS, GLOBALLY. THAT'S TRULY OUR END GOAL.
We are doing this in two ways:
(1) IMPROVE FIRE PROTECTION PRACTICES WORLDWIDE.
We work towards this by doing what we know best; help fire protection professionals shine. When you are able to do great work, you are the change in the world that improves and saves lives. We want to support you in what you do best. Empowering the professionals in this industry is our best shot at making a real positive impact in 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. 1 in 10 people worldwide are without access to clean water. Access 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. Made possible entirely by your help, since 2020 we've put 10% of our proceeds towards this cause and have completely funded three water projects that are currently in progress. Learn more here.
