The course, Residential Fire Sprinklers: Homes to High-Rise, is an 8-hour course that covers the protection of residential occupancies.

This Residential Fire Sprinkler Training course examines the requirements for each document and the desired protection objectives.

A clear and detailed presentation of the content will be given with the aid of PowerPoint presentation slides.
