Subject: Battery Fires: Before, During and After the Incident webinar

 

Hello team!

 

As you may know from social media, Dr. Moore-Merrell; Chief Fire Marshal Flynn, New York City Fire Department (FDNY); Dr. Stephen Kerber, Vice President & Executive Director, Fire Safety Research Institute; and Chief John Butler, President, IAFC - International Association of Fire Chiefs gave testimony before the Subcommittee on Emergency Management and Technology on “Examining Fire Hazards: Lithium-ion Batteries and Other Threats to Fire Safety.” If you missed the livestream, you could review the recording.  

 

USFA is continuing the conversation on lithium-ion batteries by hosting a webinar, “Battery Fires: Before, During, and After the Incident.” 

Battery fires have become one of the most challenging and perplexing incidents for the fire service in recent years. With the continued growth in the use and sale of battery-powered devices, the corresponding increase in battery fires warrants a critical conversation about how the fire service can mitigate and respond to battery fire incidents. You will hear from subject matter experts on the key concepts to consider when developing community risk reduction and response plans.

When: April 10, 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. ET

Registration: Please register.

 

Please share the information with your organizations.

 

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Teresa

Would anyone know if this webinar is going to be recorded?  We have a school demo that day and some would not be able to attend. If so, please let me know and what we need to do to have access to the recording if it is available.  I know that sometimes you have to register for the webinar to have access to the recording.  Thank you.
