"When the 15 to 20 Fire Marshal Officers entered the room it was a little intimidating (even though I had not done anything wrong!) but it was also impressive and made a statement as to the level of professionalism in the State Fire Marshal's office. Once the program began and the attending officers started asking questions and discussing past experiences I found their experiences to be very helpful for a couple of reasons. First, because I learned more about codes and regulations, and second because it helped me see how inspecting officers and plan reviewers look at projects and potential issues. I look forward to attending the next two classes."
