Sasser Restoration Senior Project Manager Earns RIA Fire Loss Specialist Certification

Sasser Restoration is proud to share that Senior Project Manager, Scott Marcle, has earned the esteemed Fire Loss Specialist (FLS) certification from the Restoration Industry Association (RIA)—a prestigious and advanced designation recognized across the restoration field. 

The FLS certification is one of the most rigorous and respected achievements in the industry, awarded to professionals who demonstrate a deep understanding of fire damage restoration, consulting practices, conflict resolution, and technical report writing. Fewer than a fraction of restoration professionals reach this level of expertise. 

To achieve the FLS, candidates must first meet a series of prerequisites, including multiple industry certifications and significant hands-on field experience. They then complete an intensive four-day training program, pass a comprehensive written examination, and submit a real-world project report showcasing their ability to resolve a conflict on a fire loss claim through written documentation, photographic evidence, and expert-level analysis. 

“This certification isn’t just a milestone—it’s a testament to Scott’s professionalism, technical knowledge, and his ability to lead within complex restoration scenarios,” said Steve Brown, Chief Operating Officer at Sasser Restoration. “We’re incredibly proud of him.” 

Houston Summers, Partner at Sasser Restoration, added: “At Sasser, our mission is to be the trusted experts in times of need. Supporting and providing resources for our employees to pursue advanced training, like the RIA’s Fire Loss Specialist certification, not only helps them grow in their careers, but also ensures we continue to deliver at the highest level for our customers. When our team succeeds, our customers benefit from their expertise.” 

At Sasser Restoration, investing in our team is a core part of our mission. From entry-level training through the IICRC, interpersonal communication and leadership courses to advanced certifications with the RIA, we believe in developing industry-leading professionals who are equipped to deliver with precision, integrity, and care. With Scott joining a small group of FLS-certified professionals nationwide, Sasser continues to raise the bar in restoration excellence.
