i met you through one of Frank Ricci's functions. He has said that you have strong expertise in flashover. I just started a group on flashover stories. After getting caught in one back in 2001 I have developed a great respect for fire and promised that I would do everything possible to teach our current and future firefighters how to stay safe. Any words of wisdom for this group would be greatly appreciated.
Look forward to seeing you and the guys in Indy. Take care.
