Unwanted fires injure and kill thousands annually and inflict a monetary impact on communities. Did you know that over 40 percent of the businesses that experience a fire never reopen because they lose their customer base? That is why fire code enforcement is an important public safety function. In this interactive online course, you will learn the basics of the fire code and how to properly apply the code to the most commonly encountered hazards. You will also review the general requirements for hazardous materials and some of the requirements for the proper storage and handling of compressed gasses and flammable and combustible liquids.
