Beginning September 13 for approximately one week, the UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute (UL FSRI) will partner with the City of Fairborn (OH) Fire Department to conduct a series of experiments involving live-fire. The experiments will be conducted in the Skyway Shopping Plaza, a strip mall that was slated for demolition. Members from the City of Fairborn and surrounding fire departments will be participating in the experiments. The results and conclusions of this project will be used to improve firefighting tactics, fire ground safety, fire dynamics knowledge, and to improve firefighter standard operating procedures. A comprehensive fire service outreach program will make sure that this science meets the street.
