West Virginia State Fire Marshal Launches New Online Electrician License Renewal at WV.gov

CHARLESTON, W. Va.--(Business Wire)--
The West Virginia Fire Commission Office of the State Fire Marshal recently
launched a new service that allows West Virginia`s 18,000 electricians to renew
their licenses online. The service can be accessed at
http://www.firemarshal.wv.gov/oelrs.

"This new service is provided as a convenience to our licensees," said Anthony
Carrico, director of the Fire Marshal`s Regulatory and Licensing Division.
"Electricians can login to the secure website and complete their license renewal
in minutes."

Electricians in West Virginia must renew their license each year between April 1
and December 31 but are encouraged to renew before June 30 to avoid penalties.
The new online electrician license renewal is the fastest and easiest way for
electricians to complete their renewal.

In order to complete a renewal, electricians are asked to update their license
information and pay the renewal fee using any major credit card. License cards
will be mailed to the electrician once the Office of the State Fire Marshal has
approved the application.

"This service allows busy electricians to renew their license any time day or
night," said Carrico. "I am very pleased at the number of electricians who are
renewing online!"

The license renewal application was developed by the West Virginia Fire
Commission Office of the State Fire Marshal in partnership with WV.gov.
