Warehouse and other high challenge occupancies can be difficult to understand. Responding to emergency incidents in facilities like this is not common, but when they do happen the risk is high. The purpose of this presentation is to take participants through some of the high challenge occupancies that they may encounter. The program will help participants better understand the occupancy and how to prepare for an emergency response to the facility.
Learning Objectives:
The participant will be able to accurately identify high hazard locations and understand the hazards within them.
The participant will be able to identify the factors that will reduce the effectiveness of installed suppression systems.
The participant will be able to develop a pre-incident plan and initial attack plan of a high hazard location, given current construction, and available fire protection and suppression features.
