Class Description:
This one-day National Fire Sprinkler Association seminar provides attendees with vital information on how to conduct field inspections and final inspections for fire sprinkler systems.
Fire sprinkler systems are installed in stages and inspections are typically required at various stages before proceeding to the next stage.
