Summary
A certificate of attendance will be offered.
This webinar will explore key apparatus-related topics within the ISO Fire Suppression Rating Schedule and is designed to help departments understand how their apparatus and related operations impact their community's grading.
The webinar will look at the number of engines required by ISO’s grading, along with pump testing and how the maximum credits are achieved. Mike Morash will highlight what equipment needs to be carried, and outline creditable equipment, along with their equivalences.
Before purchasing your next rig, Morash will explain how ISO can help you with that discussion in your community, including the distribution of resources and pump capacity and testing needed to achieve desired grades.
Robbi King will join the program to look at the impact of apparatus maintenance and vehicle checks, and how those records will be scored, along with a discussion on apparatus-related training efforts to boost your score.
Bring your apparatus questions to this interactive webcast and the presenters will address them.
