IAMI & the Louisiana State Fire Marshal's Office are proud to offer training at this regional event, covering live burns on both recreational to commercial vessels. The training will include topics ranging from basic fire science and scene safety to in-depth fire investigations.This hands-on training seminar focuses on a team approach to investigating all aspects of a boat fire. The training is open to law enforcement, fire service, insurance industry personnel, marine surveyors, and any investigators wanting to hone their skills in marine fire investigation.
This three-day tested training includes reviewing current NFPA 921 & 1033 guides and standards, investigator safety, marine-specific origin and cause investigation, vessel systems, detection and suppression systems, and legal issues and considerations.
Each team will conduct an actual post-fire investigation and prepare a report/case file to be presented to the class and attorneys.
Attendees should bring a laptop or tablet, camera, coveralls, & PPE. Notepads, pens/pencils, tape measures, and basic investigation tools will be provided.
Boats will be burned on-site in the days leading up to the training. Attendees should be aware that working in a post-fire environment poses several hazards, and it is their responsibility to wear the personal protective equipment with which they feel comfortable.
