How Fire Loss Impacts Code Development and Enforcement - Recorded Webinar Course Details Instructor CEUs/Additional Info Format: Instant Access Recorded Webinar CEUs: Based on 1 contact hour of training (see CEUs tab for details) Course Description: Tragic events have long been the catalyst for improving safety. Following a significant fire loss there is much to be learned about what occurred and how the loss may have been prevented. This webinar will focus on building and fire codes that exist today as a direct result of tragic fire loss. Several preventable disasters and the code changes they triggered will be covered such as the Great Chicago Fire, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, and The Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire. These major fires played a critical role in driving the development of modern-day fire codes and what is now the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. Understanding these events provides a clearer understanding and appreciation for current fire codes aiding in compliance, enforcement and risk management. Learning Objectives: • Learn about recurring failures we see in the building and fire codes • Describe historic fires leading to major changes to the fire codes • Understand the effect of large-scale fire fatalities on code enforcement • Gain a deeper understanding of the code development process Tom Parrish, SET, CFPS, PSP Tom Parrish has more than 30 years’ experience in fire protection and emergency response and is the retired Fire Marshal for Putnam Township Michigan as well as Vice President of Telgian.
