FDIC 2024 - Research-Based CRR at the Company Level Classroom Session

Join UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute’s (FSRI) Senior Research Amplification Specialist Jennifer Williams and Public Education Advisory Committee member Becki Rowan-White at FDIC 2024 for a four-hour classroom session on Research-Based Community Risk Reduction (CRR) at the Company Level.

CRR is the hot phrase being used by department leadership, but little direction is being provided to fire companies who are directed to engage with the public and employ risk reduction strategies. CRR training is typically targeted toward prevention staff more than line firefighters and company officers. Due to a lack of resources or updated education, many departments are also still using outdated messaging that can be harmful for the public.

This class will highlight the latest science-based public fire safety messages and resources developed by FSRI with the fire service and will make the connection to firefighting knowledge and firefighting tactics. Participants will learn how to identify areas of engagement that are authentic, strengthening the ties between the department and the community and making the community a safer place to live and work
