February Webinar - Trends in Warehouse Automated Storage and the Fire Challenges Associated With Them

Welcome to SFPE New England's February webinar. Due to COVID-19, we are sadly unable to meet in person like we have for so many years. Instead we will be able to learn about new and exciting topics from the safety of our socially and physically distant computers. We are excited to present opportunities for New England's fire protection industry to get together and stay current on new topics.
