Brian Cashion, PMP
Brian Cashion has over 12 years of experience in the fire protection industry, focusing on the renewable sectors, including wind, solar, and battery storage. While fire incidents are generally infrequent in the renewables sector, findings have shown that fires are underreported and on the rise. As fire risk increases from aging equipment to new technologies, he completes fire hazard analyses and investigations that are used to build into the design and installation of fire suppression systems.
Brian actively addresses fire risks at wind and solar farms and is in charge of examining new technologies to combat lithium ion-based battery fires. He is an integral part of the design, development, live-fire testing, and qualification of fire suppression systems for clean energy and holds three fire hazard-related patents. Additionally, Brian holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Purdue University and is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP).
