Committee Makes Progress on NFPA 1400

NFPA 1400 combines various standards

This week in Orlando, Florida, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) training committee met to set a new standard now called NFPA 1400 that will combine all former 1400 series documents into one large document.

The committee is comprised of engaged fire service leaders with some of the FDIC International and Fire Engineering family. This group is fighting forward with NFPA, not fighting against! Positive discussions were had and changes were made to enhance fire service training standards.
