Free for firefighters, the interactive ‘Fighting Fire in Sprinklered Buildings‘ programme trains participants on how to create pre-incident plans with owners of sprinklered buildings. Topics will also include:
- The design, function and limits of sprinkler systems
- Why sprinklered buildings burn
- How to combat fires most effectively with sprinklers in operation
“In some situations, firefighters can unintentionally make a fire worse at the scene by closing sprinkler valves and turning off electrical power prematurely,” said Michael Spaziani, assistant vice president and senior staff engineering specialist at FM Global.
“Even the most experienced firefighter can benefit from this specialised training.”
Firefighters receive a certificate upon completing the program and passing a skills assessment. FM Global is a mutual insurance company dedicated to property risk management and the resilience of its client-owners.
