Thanks to FRC (Fire Research Corporation) for hosting a day of technical training at their facility in Nesconset! The event went well, we've had lots of positive feedback from attendees. Everyone I spoke to at FRC thought the exercise was worthwhile and they hope to host another one someday. Several FRC employees participated in the training session including: Toh Meng, Deven Patel, Bob Galazka, Brian Roerich, Tomasz Salazkow, Mike Leek, and Mike (Bart) Bartholomay. Bob G. provided me with the following summary of the day's activities.
