IN-DEPTH OVERVIEW OF NFPA 10 - “Specifically Addressing the Proper Selection, Placement and Distribution of Extinguishers”

presented by J. R. Nerat Because the placement of service tags on installed fire extinguishers implies code compliance, it becomes extremely important for all service technicians to correctly recognize and identify each of the various occupancy hazard classifications, to ensure proper extinguisher ratings and travel distances are being addressed. This presentation will cover the specific NFPA-10 occupancy hazard classification requirements and attempt to explain how to accomplish this.

UNDERSTANDING CLASS “B” OBSTACLE FIRES

presented by J. R. Nerat This presentation covers the various special class “B” fire extinguisher hazard coverage requirements associated with “Obstacle” fire situa-tions, as identified within NFPA-10. (Based on the “Industrial Fire World” magazine article reprinted in the PAFED New Era newsletter)
