Telgian fire protection expert Michael Willis will present a Fire Smarts “High-Piled Storage – Commonly Missed Requirements” webinar on February 13, 2025 from 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm ET.

This webinar will focus on some of the often-overlooked needs for protecting high-piled storage hazards and typical errors that can delay plan approval.

With the increasing demand for distribution and warehousing where high hazard commodities are stored, high-piled storage requirements are getting more attention. Understanding fire protection for high-piled storage can be challenging and there are a number of commonly missed requirements that have a significant impact on managing risk and being compliant. This course focuses on some of the often-overlooked needs for protecting high-piled storage hazards and typical errors that can delay plan approval. This includes items related to design drawings, the storage arrangement inside the building, as well as the conditions surrounding the outside of the building.

Michael Willis has over 12 years of fire protection experience including portable, fixed and pre-engineered fire suppression as well as a fire protection and safety engineering degree. He has served in multiple capacities including as a technician, inspector, consultant, designer and installer. Michael holds multiple state licenses, NICET Certifications for both fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems, and is in the process of completing his professional engineer licensure in fire protection engineering.

At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will have learned the commonly missed items on design drawings that can delay plan approval as well as understand commonly missed items inside and outside of the building.
