Firestop Instructional Training Level 2 (FIT Level 2) brought another group of professionals together this May at STI headquarters in Somerville, NJ. Register for upcoming sessions here: https://bit.ly/46tMJHc.
Over two days of hands-on training, attendees walked away with practical experience applying advanced firestop systems and fire-rated cable pathway solutions in real-world conditions. The focus was on improving installation accuracy, selecting the right systems for specific applications, and approaching inspections with a clearer understanding of code requirements.
Led by John Zalepka, Director of Training and Industry Engagement, alongside Justin Pine, RCDD, Senior Manager, Software and Services, Justin Mentuck, Product Manager, Chris Demarco, Director of Engineering Services, and Eddie Cafro, Senior Manager, Fire Lab & Facilities, the session reinforced how UL and ASTM-listed systems perform across commercial, industrial, and data center environments, with direct application to everyday project challenges.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in May. Your engagement and shared field insight made this a valuable session. We look forward to continuing the conversation at upcoming FIT Level 2 training.
