In news from San Francisco Fox affiliateFox 2, a fire alarm technician who worked on the fire alarm in an apartment building that later suffered a fatal fire faces a criminal investigation.Further, the story reports, the alleged perpetrator may be ignoring cease and desist orders and continuing to work on fire alarm systems for a different company, endangering lives, according to the story.

This story highlights why things like continuing education, licensure and effective policing of licensure systems is so important.

Norris recommends business owners regularly ask to see licenses for workers. Life-safety and security providers who don’t follow licensing laws have no place in an industry that is involved in protecting lives and property.

Norris is licensed anywhere a license is required.
