We’re thrilled to bring you exciting updates on upcoming fire investigation conferences in Ireland and New South Wales. Plus, we've got a special shout-out to Scott and Chastity’s InFocus Fire Investigation podcast.

Ready to learn the ins and outs of solar panel fire investigations? We take a deep dive into the world of photovoltaic (PV) systems, highlighting critical safety concerns and common pitfalls like poor electrical workmanship and incorrect switch ratings.

Listen as we break down real-world examples, including a significant incident at a hospital, to emphasize the importance of understanding and managing PV systems in fire response and investigation. We also cover the complexities of investigating PV system fires, stressing the importance of assuming all panels and cables are energized until confirmed otherwise, and the invaluable data smart PV systems can provide.

 We also discuss the significance of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and the rigorous standards for fire investigation training. Plus, get a sneak peek into the upcoming UKFI conferences and how they play a crucial role in ongoing education for fire investigators.
