Humpday Hangout: Construction Concerns

Bill Gustin fills in for this week’s Humpday Hangout. He is joined by James Johnson, “Construction Concerns” columnist Gregory Havel, Mike Posner, Mike Dugan, and Maplewood (NJ) Deputy Chief Walter Nugent, who wrote about his department’s experience with fighting fire in a building of lightweight construction. James will share his knowledge and experience with massive modern wooden structures, and Greg will weigh in on multiple dwellings of lightweight wood construction built on top of Class 1 or 2 constructed “pedestals.” Also, they will give you a sneak peak of upcoming classes at FDIC International 2018.
