Location:

Chilliwack (classroom sessions) and Abbotsford (burn cells), BC, Canada

This includes the newly-included witnessing of a live burn to see fire propagation and hands-on investigation of ‘burn cells’ (specially constructed rooms set on fire based on real-life scenarios). This is also an excellent opportunity to network with other fire investigators around the province, share knowledge and experience, and learn about available resources.
