He has over twenty-five years of experience with inspections, installations, and repairs of all fire protection systems. Danny is a great asset to our team because he has worked for many major fire protection companies, he remembers almost every building he has been in, and is able to recall key information about their systems.

In his last position he worked for two years as a technician in a manufacturing company. Prior to that he worked for over two years in the restaurant field. In his time with New Mexico Fire, he has shown a great deal of initiative and energy and is working hard to learn and grow in inspecting all fire protection systems, and servicing fire sprinkler systems. Chris takes pride in quickly, efficiently, and correctly servicing fire extinguishers and is licensed in backflow testing, which he has taken a special interest in.
George Schwartz, Senior Field Service Technician, has six years of experience in fire alarm installation in new construction and tenant improvements. He is a recent addition to our team, joining us from Arizona, and he has quickly proven his knowledge in all systems, especially fire alarms.

George is working on achieving his NICET license in fire alarm.
Ian Carl, Field Service Technician, is another recent addition to our team. We knew right away, despite not having prior knowledge in fire protection systems, he would be a perfect fit. Ian shows great aptitude and ability to grow his knowledge immensely in all things fire protection. In past positions, he worked closely with security and door access systems, and installing coax cable. Since joining us here at New Mexico Fire Protection, he has hit the ground running in inspection training. He is always willing to learn something new, and in his short time here has already attended fire extinguisher, backflow, hood suppression system, and OSHA 10 training classes.
