Welcome to www.sfpe-houston.com, the official website for the Houston Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers. As an affiliate of the international SFPE organization, our objective is to “promote the science of fire protection engineering and its allied fields, to maintain a high ethical standard among its members, to foster fire protection engineering education and to educate the community about the causes and prevention of fire.”

If this is the first time you’ve visited our site, please feel free to browse using the menu at the top of the page. You’ll find our chapter history, copies of recent newsletters, updated meeting schedules, links to our local sponsors and other sites of interest. If you’d like to join the chapter (at an annual dues rate of $20), an application form is also available. We encourage you to check this site frequently for updates.

The Houston Chapter typically organizes one technical meeting each month, with a summer break in July and August. Our meeting hosts, sponsors and speakers are active in all aspects of fire protection system design, and many of our members contribute to the field on a national level. Given the diverse commercial and industrial base in Houston and its effect on the fire protection community and our chapter membership, the meetings can be a valuable learning opportunity for anyone in a related field. Note that our meetings can also be applied to professional development hours for Professional Engineer continuing education requirements.

If you have any suggestions for either this website or future meetings, please feel free to contact one of the officers or board members.

Thank you for visiting our site, and we hope to see you at one of our future meetings.

Best Regards,

Ed Cope
President
Houston Chapter, SFPE
