Parting Shots

Fairbanks Truss Company in Fairbanks, AK, held a plant tour last month for 20 students in the Fire Science Building Construction class at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. Afterward, the instructor (who is also a Captain at nearby Steese Fire Dept.) said he found it informative and a worthwhile experience for his students by giving them a unique hands-on exposure to modern roof construction.

“It also gave us a great opportunity to talk to them about all our industry knows about the fire performance of wood trusses,” said Fairbanks Truss President Jay Williams.
