Canadian Team well represented at Top Tech Competition
The inaugural “Top Tech Competition” took place at this year’s NFSA Annual General Meeting in Las Vegas and the event was a great success.  Twelve teams from across the U.S.A and Canada took part in the quiz style competition, answering questions from NFPA 13, NFPA 13D, and NFPA 13R.  After some tense and close competition the team from Florida eventually beat out the team from the Northeast to take the title.  Congratulations to all of the teams that participated!

The Canadian Team (Kevin Churcher, Mike Powell, Paul Neate and Jason Wiebe) jumped out to a commanding lead early on in the competition and was in first place entering the final bonus question.  Unfortunately, the Canadian Team made a subtle error when submitting their final answer and slipped into second place after the final answer was completed.  The Canadian Team unfortunately did not advance out of the first round, but they demonstrated a superior amount of fire sprinkler knowledge and great sportsmanship.  I want to thank all of the C.A.S.A members who took the time to participate in the competition and a final congratulation to our Canadian Team Kevin Churcher, Mike Powell, Paul Neate, and Jason Wiebe for a job well done!
