Fighting Fire in Sprinklered Buildings

Automatic sprinklers are an important line of defense when fighting a fire. Yet, even with sprinklers, fires can still burn out of control, causing excessive damage. The purpose of the Fighting Fire in Sprinklered Buildings is to provide firefighters with a greater understanding of why these losses occur and how to help prevent them. The program will provide participants with an understanding how automatic sprinklers work and how to develop a sound pre-incident plan that will improve the effectiveness of firefighters operating at protected properties.

Being a firefighter is a physically demanding job. You are usually first on the scene of a fire, expected to contain hazardous materials on demand and must always be ready to provide emergency medical treatment. The only way you can perform these duties – and more – is to be prepared with the stamina and knowledge to do your job and do it well. FM Global, established in 1835, can share its years of experience in property protection to help you be proactive in your role as a firefighter.
