Most
existing burn buildings are damaged.
A
few are so unsafe they need to
be condemned. Can you tell when you have a significant problem?
Most fire department personnel
cannot.
As
your community grows, do you know if
you can upgrade your burn building to
meet the new training needs?
We
can provide you with the answers to
these and other questions by
evaluating your burn building (see
"Services" button just above
this text).
We are fully qualified and
equipped to perform burn building
surveys and testing.
Having surveyed over 70 existing burn buildings in
over a dozen states, we know what to ask, what to
look for, what to test, and what to
recommend.
NFPA
1403 requires annual structural
integrity surveys by a P.E. at all burn buildings.
Our basic survey will keep you in
conformance with this standard,
reduce your liability, and help you
maintain a safer training environment.

created structural safety
problem. Structure was condemned
and replaced with new burn building.)
