Michael Kruszelnicki, M.Eng P.Eng.
Senior Fire Engineer
Mike has a passion for fire safety and the application of fire and building codes to complex engineering problems. Mike has more than 20 years of experience as well as a Masters degree in Fire Protection Engineering from Carleton University. He has worked on a number of very unique projects including fire protection design for museums, high rise buildings, tunnel systems, office complexes, embassies, prisons, heritage buildings, and churches to name a few. He also enjoys finding solutions to problems in smaller scale projects including condominiums, mercantile and business spaces. Mike enjoys the challenge of working through codes and standards and applying these towards solutions analytically and methodically. There is nothing he enjoys more than telling clients “I have found a solution for you”.

Best Part About CEL
CEL allows me to get involved with all sorts of projects of varying size and type. I can work on a question of fire separations one day and then review exiting issues the next day and discuss safe protection measures of an industrial facility on another day. CEL lets me explore creativity and engineering simultaneously as I apply a black and white code in a world that is anything but.
