Frontline Leadership Lessons Learned from a Mega- Warehouse Fire in Indiana

A major fire occurred in a 1.2 million square foot Walmart Distribution Center on March 15, 2022, in Indiana. This seminar will highlight key findings from this incident, as documented in National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s report, “Incident Analysis, Mega-Warehouse Fire, March 15, 2022.”

Today’s fire service faces growing challenges when responding to fires in massive warehouse facilities—some now exceeding 4 million square feet. Participants will hear firsthand lessons learned from the chief officers who responded to this complex mayday incident.

The seminar will benefit fire service personnel, building owners, code officials, insurers, and safety professionals.
