Join Jack J. Murphy for a Webcast on getting your line firefighters the information they need to improve performance on the fireground.

In this presentation, Murphy will share insights on inspections along with tips and pointers for a wide variety of occupancies. Murphy has more than 40 years of continuous service in inspections, code enforcement, and firefighting. Doing proper inspections can reveal critical response information as well  as help mitigate dangerous situations before they become tragedies. The companies doing the inspections can make life saving contacts and develop extremely valuable relationships with building owners and tenants. Using a well-developed system, responding crews can access created histories and information, which can be invaluable in an emergency.  Joining Murphy will be Chief Bobby Halton, who will share his thoughts on operational readiness and deployment and how inspections provide for actionable information in terms of tools, tasks, and tactics.
