Local 696 is dedicated to the education and training of its members. We strive to stay abreast of the continual evolution of fire sprinkler systems and fire safety regulations. Our Journeymen and Apprentices are among the best trained in the world. Continuing Education classes are offered on a regular basis to our Journeymen to keep them abreast of changes and trends in the sprinkler industry through classes at our training center with our certified instructors. No matter how big or small the project, our members work safely, proudly, reliably and quickly to ensure that the fire protection system will operate correctly every time and that projects remain on-budget.
