POINT OF CONTACTS
EXTINGUISHERS: Javier - 626-577-1233
PALETS: Madeline - 323-263-1791
Special comments:
Note: the number of extinguisher is based on the number of students. If the number of
students is decrease by the date of order, contact the primary to see how many
extinguishers will be needed. Estimates are based on students fighting 2 dry chemical
fires, 1 CO2 fire and 1 Pressurized Water fire. Further, if the Academies burn pans are
not located and the purchased ones from 2007 are used the number of extinguishers
can be reduced due to the 2007 pans make smaller fires. It is important that if the
extinguishers are delivered to the TC that all those requested for the class room lecture
be there for lecture. The primary instructor will be responsible to make arrangements to
return all of the extinguishers at the College for lecture back to the TC for live fire
training.
