Description

Now in its seventh year, DRI’s Fire and Casualty Seminar continues to enhance its reputation as the preeminent fire litigation conference in the country. Offering cutting-edge fire science presentations and an opportunity to network with the nation’s top fire defense practitioners, this year’s program once again sets the standard for fire litigation education. The 2008 seminar takes a broad, yet comprehensive look at secondary fire liability, featuring presentations that focus on building design, the defense of fire suppression and alarm systems, toxic inhalation and fire spread. In addition, outstanding technical presentations on timely topics such as gas migration, static discharge, wildfire cause and origin, and motor vehicle fires will highlight the program.
