Join us for this FREE in-person seminar focused on one of the fire service’s most evolving challenges—responding to fires in mega-warehouse storage facilities. These expansive structures, some exceeding 4 million square feet, present unique operational and tactical considerations, particularly in areas with limited resources.

This seminar offers a rare opportunity to explore the complexities of firefighting in sprinklered, high-density facilities. Using real-world case studies—including the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s recent report on the fire in the 1.2 million square foot Walmart Distribution Center in Plainfield, Indiana, on March 15, 2022—we will examine lessons learned, best practices, and firsthand accounts from command staff who led the response and overcame a “Mayday” event within the structure.
