Training Symposium #1 Timberbrook Drive St. Peters, MO 63376 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SYMPOSIUM HIGHLIGHTS Fire Protection Systems for Fire Investigators Art Black, Principal/Founder Carmel Fire Protection Association The 2014 editions of NFPA 1033 and NFPA 921 both have been changed to include knowledge of fire protection systems. This one day class will explore the knowledge base needed to meet the requirements of NFPA 1033 and NFPA 921, 2014 editions, for fire protection systems, including fire sprinklers, fire alarms, and special hazard systems. Art Black, is a 35-year veteran of the fire service, and is the Principal of Carmel Fire Protection Associates, a fire protection engineering consulting company in Carmel, California. He is an acknowledged expert in fire codes and the application of installation documents such as NFPA 13, 13R and 13D (fire sprinklers), NFPA 72 (fire alarm systems), and NFPA 17 and 17A (hood and duct suppression systems), in addition to other fire protection system standards. He is a principal member of the NFPA technical committees for fire alarm and hood and duct suppression systems. At the conclusion of the class, the participant will be able to identify the fire protection systems installed in a building under investigation, and how the fire protection systems both influenced the fire and were influenced by the fire. The class will follow the appropriate sections of the 2014 editions of NFPA 1033 and NFPA 921. In addition to Fire Investigator recertification hours, this presentation is also approved for Fire Inspector recertification hours through the Division of Fire Safety.
