Online firefighter training focuses on attics, home exteriors

摘要

Northbrook, IL - To help fire service members explore the hazards of residential attic and exterior fires, the UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute has released a free online training program. The program summarizes results from a study funded by the Department of Homeland Security's Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. Experiments for the study included 28 wall tests, three wall and eave tests, four full-scale attic tests, and three field experiments at 1.5- and 2.5-story residential houses in Milwaukee.
