On or about May 11, 2004, the Department received a request from ALL SAFE-CO, INC., and EVANGELIO ROQUE, as Qualifier, for the issuance of a Portable extinguisher permit for KETLEUR POINTDUJOUR. The request for issuance of the permit in KETLEUR POINTDUJOUR’S name was not granted until June 15, 2004 when Permit number 49119800012004 was issued. 8. Prior to May of 2004, Mr. Pointdujour was a qualifier for LIBERTY FIRE PREVENTION COMPANY, and was licensed as a Fire Equipment Dealer Class C.
