Background

About Michael Wixted

I am an Associate Fire Engineer at Jensen Hughes in Galway, Ireland. My role involves conducting fire safety audits and fire safety field inspections for a variety of occupancy types. My work affords me the opportunity to travel throughout Ireland and work with a variety of municipalities. I was previously the Life Safety Code Supervisor for the Department of Public Health (DPH) within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. My role involved leading a highly specialized and dedicated team to complete CMS required surveys for a wide range of health care facilities in the commonwealth. Prior to joining DPH, I was as an Emergency Services Specialist in the Public Fire Protection Division of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). My primary background is in Fire Protection Engineering. Initially, I worked in the area of Fire Safety Design at EML Architects in Limerick, Ireland. I was one of the principal technicians responsible for all fire safety endeavors within the company. However, I have now returned to Ireland and look forward to bringing my international experience and expertise to projects throughout the country.
