Fire Protection Licensing Board Mission

The Arkansas Fire Protection Licensing Board was created in 1977 at the urging of the people in the fire protection systems industries.

In 1984 the automatic fire sprinkler contracting industry sought licensing legislation and Act 702 of 1985 brought them under this Board.
