THE CAUSE

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 ones equipped
with the quickest tools?

This website is the anthem for the curious, 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.

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 support on this platform, so thank you!

ABOUT JOE MEYER

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.

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.

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.

Joe wrote the MeyerFire PE Prep Guide (2016-2021 Editions), 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 writes regularly at www.meyerfire.com, founded the MeyerFire Forum, and continues to create tools and resources for fire protection professionals today.
