WCFTC "Strip Mall Fires" Class

[x635 4,066]

This class IMO, is a very relevant class to the local fire service, and from the way it sounds is going to be a popular class.

It seems this class will be a lecture-type format. My question is, why limit it to 30 students then? If there is significantly more interest in the class, why not move the class to one of the countys many larger venues so that everybody who wants to has the oppurtunity to learn about this important subject?

STRIP MALL FIRES

Strip mall fires present challenges that are very difficult from standard residential operations.  This course uses fire videos, slides, and handout exercises to explore the construction, safety, size up, and tactical considerations for fires in these buildings.  The material is geared to help firefighters, as well as chief and company officers, to operate safely and effectively at strip mall incidents.

i think it is a good idea to have different training events to show all the different types of things that can go wrong
