GULF SOUTH CHAPTER EDUCATION WEEKEND

 

The Gulf South Chapter held its annual educational weekend on Friday & Saturday, September 27th & 28th, 2019 at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. Educational classes offered were:

• AFA First Aid & CRP:  Instructor - Kevin Roberts
• AFA CFP:  Exam proctor – IDEA
• AFA CAGOI:  Exam proctor – IDEA
 
The Chapter also unveiled its gate operator trailer.  

The trailer will initially be used throughout the chapter to provide education to contractors, municipalities, state Fire Marshall’s offices, licensing boards and any other groups that need training on the various rules (ASTM & UL) pertaining to the installation of gate operators. After purchasing the trailer, Chapter members; particularly Triple B Fence – Vacherie, LA; donated time and materials to outfit the trailer so that each type of gate (swing & slide) would be represented. Mike Gulledge, Southwest Automated, lead the training that was attended, despite the heat, by approximately fifteen chapter members.
