Basin, we meet monthly to discuss and review issues related to the Fire Protection Engineer.
The Society of Fire Protection Engineers was established in 1950 and incorporated as in independent organization in 1971. It is
the professional society representing those practicing the field of fire protection engineering. The Society has approximately
3500 members in the United States and abroad, and 51 regional chapters, 10 of which are outside the US.
The purpose of the Society is to advance the science and practice of fire protection engineering and its allied fields, to maintain
a high ethical standard among its members and to foster fire protection engineering education.
The Society supports the development of the annual Professional Engineer licensing exam in fire protection and the grading of
those exams under the auspices of the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying. Several volunteer
committees and task groups work under the Society’s auspices on technical projects to further advance the state of the art.
The Society’s activities include a series of educational seminars and short courses, technical symposia and conferences,
books and publications, designed to advance the state of the art of fire protection engineering and provide technical information
to the fire protection community. The Society publishes a bimonthly newsletter, a peer reviewed quarterly Journal, and a
quarterly technical magazine Fire Protection Engineering.
The Southern California Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers was founded on January 6, 1955. Meetings are held
on the second Monday of each month, except July and August. There is a gala holiday meeting held in December, and a golf
outing held in the spring. Presently, the meetings alternate between the Monterey Hills Restaurant in Monterey Park and the
Reef Restaurant in Long beach. The Society also sponsors regular tours to Southern California facilities that are of interest to
the fire protection engineer.
