Celebrating Our Team at the NFIA Christmas Lunch & Awards

I’m proud to share that Evan Daley has been awarded Regional Fire Protection Apprentice of the Year at the National Fire Industry Association (NFIA) 2025 Christmas Lunch and Awards.

This recognition is not only a testament to Evan’s dedication and hard work but also reflects the strength of our team and the culture we’re building together. At RPS Fire, we believe in investing in apprentices, supporting professional growth, and developing the next generation of fire protection specialists.

Congratulations, Evan — and to RPS Fire’s entire team for the passion and commitment you bring to the industry every day.

Thank you to Victaulic for sponsoring the award and the NFIA for organising a great day.
