Join us Tonight!

Join us on August 26 for our next ODP Chief Officer 2 training, Fire Investigation, and a Link in Proactive Prevention.

In this hour-and-a-half course, the fire service professional will learn how fire investigations are an integral part of fire prevention and community risk reduction, and overall service to not only the community but also firefighter safety. The intent of this course is to demonstrate the tangible benefits of fire investigation beyond simply origin, cause, and responsibility. Upon completion of this course, the fire service professional will be able to look beyond those concepts to determine not only the WHY, but the HOW, and how we can direct our efforts towards progressive sustainability to mitigate further injuries, fatalities, and property damage proactively. The course aims to offer insight into the benefits of fire investigations as a proactive fire prevention initiative, through the assessment of data and how it can be used quantitatively and qualitatively if we allow our efforts to capitalize on it. The concept of fire prevention as part of fire investigation should not just start after the fire event; we can be proactive in our approach, and that starts with all interactions with our public. As near-miss trends occur, we need to break the mishap chain and use our information effectively to stop fires before they occur.
