Thank you all for attending last month’s meeting with Brandon Telford from Reliable.  Please join us and welcome Dr. Jason Sutula from JENSEN HUGHES who is this month’s meeting sponsor and also presenting the topic of Inspections, Testing, and Maintenance.

Dr. Sutula graduated from the University of Maryland in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Fire Protection Engineering. In 1998, he received his Master of Science degree in Fire Protection Engineering again from the University of Maryland. In 2009, Dr. Sutula completed a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the Graduate School of Engineering and Electronics at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Over the past seventeen years, Dr. Sutula has applied his knowledge and experience in fire science, fire protection engineering, and fire and explosion investigations to solve problems for government agencies, major corporate clients, and law firms. Dr. Sutula will be exposing us to a common ground that he has seen across many of his fire investigations; the lack of inspections, testing, and maintenance.
