This class will be presented by Captain Paul Trumpore of the City of Knoxville Fire Department and will use live fire with a safety system to provide the opportunity to learn the correct application technique for using fire extinguishers. The class will cover the four ingredients of fire, five classes of fire, four steps for using fire extinguishers, and the circumstances when you should not use a fire extinguisher.

Like all other Tuesday nights, this event is free and open to the public. Our night will begin with a Show and Share where attendees are encouraged to bring out the projects they have been working on. This is a great time to request feedback for the future direction of your project, or you can just bring out something you want to show off. We hope to see you there!
