Working with Fire Professionals
The Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries (CARLI) Preservation Committee would like to invite MRCG members to the virtual lecture "Working with Fire Professionals" on January 25, 2022, at 2-3 pm Central time.
Working with Fire Professionals is an introduction to what fire departments do with a special look at Fire Prevention activities. The first step in fighting a fire is to prevent the fire from ever occurring. Firefighters face a variety of hazards as they battle a burning building besides the heat and smoke. There are collapses of ceilings and walls, holes burned through the floors and live electrical and gas lines.
When a fire occurs, the results are often devastating to a family or business. Many items are not replaceable and for a business to be closed due to a fire can be a permanent closure.
People do not always understand how everyday items can help start a fire and how fast a fire can develop. This program will look at identifying fire hazards, how to prevent them, and how the fire department will respond to the call. The fire service goal is to protect life and property.
