The seminar will cover 16 hours of training related to basic information, procedures, and will add students with the knowledge of being able to conduct complete and accurate examination of motor vehicle fires. Information gained from this course will be related to NFPA 1033 and NFPA 921. In addition, participants will increase their knowledge of researching the history of vehicles, current and passed recalls, and types of systems within the modern-day vehicles.
