My Name is Jason Nailon. I currently reside in Apple Valley California with my wife and our son. I have been in the Fire service for over 15 years, starting my career as a volunteer firefighter with the San Bernardino County Fire Department where I was employed for 5 years. I also held Fire Inspection positions with the Ramona Fire District and the City Of Temecula for 3 years.

I have been a California State certified specialty instructor for over 5 Years.

My education consists of an Associates of Science degree in Fire Technology from Victor Valley Community College that I completed in 1998, and a Bachelor of Arts in Public Safety Administration from Grand Canyon University that I completed in 2007.

On a State and National level, I hold certifications as a Fire Inspector, Fire Protection Specialist, Fire Plans Examiner, and Fire Investigator. At the National level I hold Certifications from NFPA as Fire Inspector I and the International Code Council as Fire Inspector I and II.
