About James Samarelli Cfisme
Fire Engineers are specialist Engineers who assess the threat of fires and determine how to improve architectural structures and safety measures to prevent them. They work in many industries, including manufacturing, corporate organizations and government.I have over 30 years of experience in emergency response and management, working in various capacities and settings. I have served as a Fire Chief, Emergency Management Specialist, Fire Official, and Logistics Specialist for different organizations and agencies, such as the Disaster Preparedness Specialist, the NJ Forest Fire Service, and the Ocean County Fire Marshal\'s Office. I have participated in several high-profile and challenging search and rescue operations, such as the World Trade Center bombing, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, and the Tropicana garage collapse. I have received multiple awards and recognition for my bravery, leadership, and collaboration skills. I am passionate about preparing and protecting communities from natural and manmade disasters, and I have developed and implemented effective emergency plans and strategies. I have also trained and mentored staff and volunteers on fire safety, emergency procedures, and equipment maintenance. I am a certified PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and a Rescue Diver with expertise in underwater and under-ice rescue. I have also published a book about my true story behind Super Storm Sandy. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I hold professional licenses and certifications from NFPA.
