“The class was well received and was a huge success. Everyone that attended said that not only will they look at commercial kitchens differently at every fire investigation but also every time they visit a restaurant. The attendees were very happy with the information that was provided and also commented how vital the book will be for reference in the future. The instructor’s knowledge in the information gave the attendees confidence in the information given.” – B.F., PAAI Board of Directors, Fire Investigator
“This three day training had much more value than plainly the cost and the time, because any training that truely causes me to change the methods and ways I complete inspections and most importantly investigations is nearly priceless!” – R.S., Firefighter/Paramedic at City of Reading, PA Fire Dept.
“This class was part of a 3 day class that I attended and it helped me alot in understanding what to look for during FIRE INVESTIGATIONS points of origin and also when doing FIRE INSPECTIONS in restaurants where to look for build up of grease to tell restaurant owners to properly clean and maintain their cooking appliances and prevent fires in the kitchen” – W.S., Fire Marshal at Borough of Pottstown
“This course provides additional details on the problems of installation and maintenance that is not found in other courses or reference sources. The manual for this course, A Guide for Commercial Kitchen Fires, is a reference source I will use frequently when inspecting restaurants. A great course for insurance engineers, claims people, and for fire inspectors/investigators.” – T.H., Manager at Liberty Mutual Insurance
