This grant, offered by the American Forest & Paper Association (AFPA), aims to update a web-based educational program for the fire service. Originally created in 2003, the program teaches firefighters about lightweight construction components and their performance. The update is necessary due to new industry information, including recently approved building materials. Additionally, the fire service training community seeks to enhance the current awareness-level content with advanced operations-level information. This cooperative agreement will ensure the program remains current, providing comprehensive knowledge on modern construction materials for improved fire safety and operational readiness.
