 nAs a public or private sector fire and explosion investigation profession
 al\, how confident are you that you have the appropriate knowledge and tra
 ining to document and evaluate the role the commercial kitchen ventilation
  system (&ldquo\;CKV&rdquo\;) and pre-engineered commercial fire suppressi
 on systems (&ldquo\;FSS&rdquo\;) play in the underlying forensic fire scen
 e origin and cause investigation? Each year\, the number of commercial res
 taurant fires and exposures continue to climb\, along with the number of c
 laims and lawsuits advanced against commercial fire suppression\, hood\, d
 uct\, and exhaust system service professionals\, franchisees\, contractors
 \, subcontractors\, product designers\, manufacturers\, owners\, and opera
 tors of all types and sizes. Frontline public and private sector fire and 
 explosion investigation professionals alike are assigned to perform forens
 ic investigations of first-party and liability losses where CKV and FSS sy
 stems are implicated. Commercial restaurants have CKV and FSS systems. Whi
 le these separate and distinct systems are designed to prevent the spread 
 of a fire\, albeit through very distinct means\, CKV and FSS systems prese
 nt unique challenges for investigation professionals. Enhance your experti
 se in forensic commercial kitchen fire investigations with hands-on region
 al course of instruction hosted by International Association of Arson Inve
 stigators\, Inc. (&ldquo\;IAAI&rdquo\;) and Eastern Kentucky University&rs
 quo\;s (&ldquo\;EKU&rdquo\;) Fire &amp\; Safety Engineering Technology at 
 its Ashland Fire &amp\; Safety Laboratory\, Inc. Taught by industry practi
 tioners\, subject matter experts\, industry specialists\, and technically 
 trained counsel\, this interactive classroom and applied learning course w
 ill provide public and private sector fire investigation professionals wit
 h an overview of the best proactive practices to evaluate and document the
  role of the CKC and FSS systems and components in an incident. Attendees

 mmercial kitchen fires\, how CKV and FSS systems and components operate in
  a commercial kitchen\, the basic investigative and documentation methodol
 ogy\, and application of the industry standards\, recommended guidelines\,
