Thank you

This live web event has ended. Thank you for attending.

Description

A spate of major fires in very-large warehouses has renewed a long-standing concern about the ability of the fire service to complete final extinguishment as anticipated by various fire sprinkler standards. Some large property insurers define final extinguishment as when all burned material is removed from the building so that a rekindle cannot occur. This presentation is from the perspective of a fire protection engineer who deals with warehouse sprinkler designs almost daily and was also a 19-year fire fighter with operational firefighting experience in very-large warehouses.
