Over the past year I’ve tried to be more thoughtful about our impact in serving the fire protection industry.

The long story short is that I started MeyerFire to share and relate experiences, and hopefully give back to our purpose-filled industry that does a lot of good in the world.
​
At our core, we look for meaningful gaps and try to think of creative ways to help address them. Sometimes those are social challenges, sometimes it’s about awareness, sometimes they’re highly technical, sometimes free and easy and sometimes the answers are nearly all-consuming.
 
In the coming weeks, I hope to add a few flavors to what we do at MeyerFire.

#1 MEYERFIRE ON YOUTUBE (+ OTHER PLATFORMS)
First, and probably the most visible, is to share more information on free platforms.

Starting today and more regularly in the future, we’ll share short segments of our University content on YouTube.

We’re creating so much new content now that we’ll still always have 10X more content on the main University, even if we shared multiple takes a week.

I hope to advocate and build awareness of our discipline beyond just our community.

If you see MeyerFire videos or content on the platforms (YouTube, Instagram, and others), please support the cause! The video below just came out today.

There’s nothing like a drag-out MMA-style fight in the comments section of YouTube, so if you see our stuff, please help us out! Like, follow, subscribe, and encourage civil commentary.

We are thrilled about so many things around here, and our latest is that Jocelyn Sarrantonio has joined the MeyerFire team as our new Technical Director!

Jocelyn is a licensed Fire Protection Engineer with 18 years of experience in design consulting engineering, with ten of those exclusively in mission-critical (data center) design. Jocelyn’s work has exposed her to fire suppression and fire alarm system design, life safety systems, energy storage systems, code consulting, corrosion prevention, and hazardous materials. Working in mission-critical facilities has given her experience in jurisdictions across the United States, requiring the agility to work with different clients and authorities having jurisdiction.  She has a passion for details and enjoys a good scavenger hunt in the code.

Before joining MeyerFire as Technical Director, Jocelyn led a 15-person team and served as the fire protection discipline lead and subject matter expert for mission-critical fire protection at a large international company. In addition to mentoring, much of her work included writing technical reports for AHJs to demonstrate code compliance of complex MEP systems. She studied Mechanical Engineering (BS/MS) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), and lives in Upstate New York with her husband, three girls, and three cats. 

At MeyerFire, we bring a lot of technical content to life - whether that's diagrams, illustrations, complex topics, or thorn-in-the-side decision making within the fire protection industry. We work with over a dozen leading subject matter experts in different areas as part of MeyerFire University. We work with authors to bring complex topics to life. And we find new and interesting ways to address gaps in the industry.

We're thrilled that Jocelyn will help us in all these areas - working with our technical and creative teams to expand our content and deliver meaningful, impactful help to the aspects of the fire protection industry that need it most. Jocelyn is the first Fire Protection Engineer to join the team. We're so excited; great things ahead!
