                     Fire Protection Licensing Requirements

                    Contractor requirements for licensure
                 In order to obtain a fire protection contractorâ??s license, the following are required:

                 â?¢ Every contractor must have a managing employee (ME) who is an employee of the company
                    and is responsible for ensuring that all work complies with the legally adopted codes, standards,
                    and fire protection laws and rules. Failure to do this can result in the suspension or revocation of
                    the MEâ??s certificate or the contractorâ??s license. The ME is the point of contact for all issues related
                    to fire protection plan reviews and installations.
                 â?¢ All fire protection-related work must be performed by the ME or a certified journeyman sprinkler fitter.
                    Both of these occupations are required to have a certificate from the State Fire Marshal Division (SFMD).
                 â?¢ All fire protection system design must be performed by employees of a Minnesota-licensed
                    fire protection contractor.
                 â?¢ Permits are required for all installations and modifications.
                 â?¢ Fire protection contractors must have liability insurance
                    (minimum coverage: $250,000 per person; $500,000 per occurrence; and $100,000 property damage).
