Overview
- The public registry is now live on the Fire Department’s website with the first 25 certified installers listed for residents to consult.
- A free first call drew 350 applicants, and certification required at least three years of prior experience in the trade.
- Officials cited 2025 data showing about 4,500 fires citywide, with an average of 11 each day tied to gas or electrical faults in homes.
- Training and evaluation were designed by the city’s Fire Department with UAM Azcapotzalco, combining classroom lessons with hands-on tests to standardize an often informal craft.
- Authorities plan regular updates to the list, a second free call in about a month to expand participation, and a push to include more women, with 22 now in training.
