William (Bill) Rogers

Bill began his career as an apprentice sprinkler fitter in 1977 and quickly moved his way up to become one of the youngest Journeyman in 1981 at the age of 21.

Lack of work forced Bill to move to Ontario where he worked for General Sprinklers until 1990 when he moved back to Alberta. Bill continued to work for Alberta Sprinklers until he began Fire Tech Fire Protection in 1993 and began his sprinkler design and estimating career.

Colt Smethurst

Colt has been working for Fire Tech since 2005; he began his career in the field and quickly moved up to being a foreman, and then in 2012 became Road Supervisor. His field experience and attention to detail makes him a well-respected supervisor.

Aside from managing day to day operations out on the field, Colt is capable of also handling paperwork and other office related problems.  This allows him to use his field experience to solve problems and carry through to the office. This closes the gap on worksite problems to office solutions making each job run smoother and faster. Outside of work Colt enjoys hunting, camping and spending time with his family.
