As a professional firefighter/ fire inspector I found this training provided by Heath at Silco’s Columbus Ohio branch very valuable. The facility is great with several labs representing many different fire alarm panels and systems, kitchen suppression systems and sprinkler systems great lecture and hands on training in all these areas. Hannah was also very great to deal with provided us with a delicious lunch and was instrumental in helping schedule our visit . I would highly recommend that any professional in the fire service whether they be inspectors , officers or line firefighters take advantage of this free training 😁👍!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review! We are honored to hear the training provided value from the perspective of a professional firefighter and fire inspector. Our goal is to give first responders the opportunity to see, operate and better understand the systems they encounter in the field, and it is great to know the combination of classroom instruction and hands on labs made an impact. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome more members of the fire service to the training center.
