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
