” Eli Santiago is an outstanding instructor. He conducted a Fire Life Safety training for our Fire Wardens, and we received excellent feedback from his informative session. You can tell he truly has a passion for what he does and his experience in the field is evident in the way he guides his educational fire safety training. As a property management professional, I recommend FIRED UP SOLUTIONS if you need valuable instructions on how to perform in emergency situations. You will not find a better experience! ”

Eli has hosted our emergency preparedness presentation the past few years and he always does a great job! He keeps the 30 attendees engaged and laughing while keeping it professional and informative. Eli makes our jobs as property managers easier, and we couldn’t be happier to have him back each year! Thanks Eli!
