Description:
Cocoanut Grove, MGM Grand, Hartford Circus, Winecoff Hotel, Station Nightclub. These are just some of the most infamous fires of the past 100+ years that have impacted fire protection. Many of our codes and laws are written in these fire victims’ blood. We will review ten significant fires and discuss what changes resulted and…what three things don’t change!
