Good Day:
Thank you for attending Fire and Materials 2011 and participating in the Fire and Explosion Investigator Safety; Issue or Myth presentation. Hopefully, it was informative and caused you to reflect on past practices.
Below are links to the papers and research information that were included in my paper, some additional items that I think are useful, as well as a PDF copy of the PowerPoint presentation and my Fire Investigator Safety related presentation during ISFI 2010.
Again, thanks for participating and I hope that the following information is useful.
