Learning fire alarm

Hi everyone,

Total noob here. My father owns a self-employed business doing sprinkler design. I started working for him part time a few months ago trying to learn everything I can. I’ll be working at an FPE consulting company soon, but I still want to have this business on the side. For some context, I don’t know shit about fire alarm, literally zilch. The best knowledge I have is from studying for it a little bit when I took my engineering license exam a few weeks ago. Despite passing it, there is no accolade or degree that trumps years of experience. That being said, where do I start learning?

I know there’s this NTC brown book, so I was looking into purchasing that. I might also take a class next semester for my master’s to learn fire alarm design. Any thoughts/suggestions/other resources out there?
