Fall 2023 Major Training - Chilliwack and Abbotsford, BC

The 2023 Fall Training event was a great success. We built multiple burn cells as rooms with real-life ignition scenarios (including cigarettes in garbage cans, charging batteries, and arson) and set them on fire for attendees to figure out the origin and cause of the fire. Like previous years, we had classroom training and a day of hands-on fire investigation of the burn cells. New to this year, we also had a day-long training for the Insurance Institute of BC and also a live-burn demonstration to see a fire progress in real-time.

We would like to thanks Canstar and Abbotsford Fire Rescue for their help, and welcome and encourage feedback from BC-IAAI and IIBC attendees! .
