Monday, Wednesday, and Friday(s) from May 3-May 28 at 11 am-1:30 pm ET.

All live sessions are recorded and provided to the attendees in the course. If you are unable to watch the live session, you will be able to go back and watch the recorded sessions for up to 1 a month after the last session. Once you complete all of the course content, survey, and quiz, we will provide you your PDH certificate.

Description
This 12-session seminar is derived from our 3-day in-person course. It is open to all individuals interested in gaining or refreshing their basic to intermediate knowledge of the principles of fire protection engineering. This course presents the application of science and engineering principles to protect people, property, and their environments from the harmful and destructive effects of fire and smoke. It covers areas of fire detection, suppression, mitigation, and human behavior and recommendations on maintaining a tenable environment for evacuation during a fire scenario. We will examine fire suppression systems components to include fire science, fire safety design, fire detection, and fire alarm systems, fire suppression systems, automatic sprinkler systems, and smoke control principles. Industry standards and variations will be discussed using codes and building codes.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this seminar, the participant will be able to:
• Understand the phenomena of combustion and ignition.
• Forecast how we can protect buildings from fire and how fire protection engineers can expect the human behavioral response during emergencies
• Recognize means of egress concepts, human tenability limits, occupant responses to cues, and the decision-making process by people in fire situations and during evacuation.
• Distinguish the performance of basic construction materials in the fire environment.
• Evaluate water-based fire suppression systems types such as fire sprinkler and water mist systems.
• Discuss smoke management forces, and design principles for smoke management systems.
• Categorize fire detection and alarm systems, including various types.
