A great time was had by all.  Special thanks to Jonah for organizing the event, to our sponsors for their generous help and to the students for showing up and carrying our golf games to a higher level.  We couldn't have asked for better weather, or better people to spend the morning with having fun and raising scholarship funds. 

The FMAO will be holding thier conference at the Sequoyah Lodge once again this year starting August 22, 2017, and this is an excellent event to get to know the AHJ's that we all work with throughout our journey into safety here in Oklahoma.  For more information visit the FMAO website at fmao.org

This event was another tremendous success.  We doubled our participation from the last after 5 event and we all had a great time.  I am sorry that there were not more people there to join us, but that just means there was more networking for those that were able to make it.  We will continue these through the upcoming months and hope to see more of our SFPE chapter members there.

The first after five event was held at Bleu Garten in midtown OKC.  The venue allowed for sampling food and beverages from different vendors within the open air dining and entertainment space.  It lasted from 5pm to 7pm.  We look forward to hosting another after five event and hope to see more members taking advantage of these tremendous networking opportunities in the future.

Greg Gordon, Business Development Manager of Tyco Fire Protection Products gave an excellent presentation regarding considerations when specifying clean agents systems. A link to the presentation is below. 

A new page has been added to the OK SFPE website which will provide information regarding OK SFPE's effort to establish minimum standards for the practice of Fire Protection Engineering within the State of Oklahoma. 

The OSU student chapter of SFPE has created a website! www.osusfpe.com

Both websites will be valuable tools for our chapters' communications. OK SFPE and OSU SFPE plan to work together on joint meetings and events in the future. The chapters' relationships are mutually beneficial. So, please visit both websites, stay involved, and provide feedback to improve the fire protection community!

Thank you, and have a great week!

From SFPE: "This webinar will discuss and provide design and installation recommendations for the successful deployment of Very Early Warning Aspirated Smoke Detection (ASD) systems in harsh environments. It will describe the steps to be taken to successfully deploy ASD in dirty, wet, extreme temperature, high air flow, corrosive, or high EMI/RFI environments. A description of the required testing and maintenance to ensure successful long-term operation will also be discussed. It will conclude with a review of the selection criteria that should be used to select an ASD system that is suitable for use in harsh environments."
