PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT
Resources are always in the works around here. Here's what's currently in the works for the near future:

Floor-Mounted Obstruction Calculator
While it doesn't come up all that often, floor-mounted items can create obstructions for sprinklers just as anything hanging from a ceiling. This calculator is a quick-assessment tool similar to the popular Sprinkler Obstruction Calculator. Access: Free to Everyone / Downloadable for Toolkit Members Coming: Spring 2019 |

The MeyerFire Handbook, 2019 Edition
This book of visual references, frequently asked questions and flow charts is the fire suppression designer/engineer's go-to book of references. It's not a textbook, but rather a well-organized reference guide to support quality design, review & inspection at the pace you need to operate. If you enjoy the visual aspects of the weekly blog posts here, you'll love this highly-visual reference guide. Coming: Fall 2019 Have an idea you'd like us to make happen? Send it below - |

By NFPA | Firefighters encounter continual disruptions to their eating and sleeping patterns (circadian rhythm) due to the nature of their work, which may put them “at-risk” for metabolic diseases. This webinar will present the findings from a research study led by Salk Institute with collaborative support from the FPRF that assessed the extent of day-to-day disruption to firefighters and tested reasonable interventions involving sleep and nutrition time optimization in alleviating risks for chronic diseases, without compromising job performance. The project analyzed the impact of time-restricted eating on firefighters to promote overall health and wellness and minimize the impact of shift work among firefighters. | Free
