🎓🔥 Celebrating the Next Generation of Fire Sprinkler Professionals 🔥🎓

Tonight, we’re proud to celebrate two Total Fire Protection team members, Richard Luckey and Brandon Baker, as they graduate from the apprenticeship program at WMCI!

A special congratulations goes to Richard Luckey, who has been named 2026 Graduate of the Year—an outstanding achievement that reflects his hard work, dedication, and commitment to the trade. 👏

Developed in partnership with the American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA), the Sprinkler Fitting apprenticeship program provides hands-on training and real-world knowledge, including extensive NFPA 13 education. The four-level curriculum meets U.S. Department of Labor apprenticeship standards and helps prepare students for successful careers in the fire protection industry.

Congratulations to both graduates on this incredible milestone. We’re proud to have you on the TFP team and excited to see what the future holds! 🔥
