SOUTH FLORIDA NEWS
On October 17th, 2019 the North Florida IASIU Chapter teamed up with Kevin B. Hays Fire Consulting and the Fire Academy of the South in Jacksonville, FL for a 4 hour CE Seminar on Marine Vessel Fires: Investigations & Identifications. The seminar went beyond the classroom by providing attendees live demonstrations of actual marine vessel fire scenarios to demonstrate different causations and help attendees develop a better appreciation and understanding of different types of fires. Attendees came from all over and were comprised of adjusters, investigators, academy students and law enforcement many of whom had never experienced a live burn. Thanks to our presenter we were able to offer breakfast, snacks, lunch and refreshments during this half day event.
We look forward to another year of successful training opportunities in 2020! SEE MORE
