College

Realistic Complex Training Centers

Training/Education

• High cost safety compliance for command, equipment and training

• Multiple Sub-regional Shared Training Facility – including : – Fire/Police/Military (Reserves)

• Trend Fractured fire education (Diploma & Degree) to standardized – same courses & learning outcomes (FESHE) – Same entry requirements

• Less Training Deaths & Injuries

Technology/Delivery Systems

• Over 1,000 satellites orbiting

• Berkeley Scientists Say Time is Right for Fire Detection Satellite

• Already designed needs money
