2008 National Advanced Fire and Explosion

Investigation Training Program

August 4-6,

2008

 

Sarasota, Florida,

USA

We’ve asked our most popular, internationally recognized, instructors to select topics within their areas of specialty about which they are most passionate.  This course will consist of a smaller number of lectures presented in greater detail. 

 

While all levels of investigators, from the newest to the most experienced, will benefit from these lectures, this class is not designed or intended to be a broad entry level review of NFPA 921.  All technical speakers are members of the NFPA Technical Committee on Fire Investigations or its Task Groups.  Nowhere else can the fire and explosion investigator meet and learn from these acknowledged experts in their fields, all gathered together for one training program.
