Hi , my name is Daniel Carlson . I'm a
fire protection engineer for the
engineering division uh for USA here on
Fed . So I originally started as a
mechanical engineer . Um but my last
district uh they came to me with an
opportunity to become the first fire
protection engineer for the district .
And so I thought it was a cool
opportunity . And so I started studying
for the exam and I got my license in
2021 . So as a fire protection engineer ,
some good examples would be for a
specific building or I determined if
they have sufficient coverage of
sprinklers , whether they have the
correct fire alarms and the appropriate
sensors , I determine if they have the
correct number of uh fire exits and
whether the building is compatible with
the local fire department for not only
emergency access but also uh monitoring .
My favorite part of the job uh
especially here at FED is just working
alongside uh the American and Korean
military service members and just the
unique job opportunities and projects
that I get to work on .
