This four-day, hands-on workshop is taught inside a full-sized dwelling located at the SIS training facility. Students learn how fire and smoke affect the interior structure of the dwelling, including finish carpentry, plumbing, electric, A/C, floor coverings, and finishes. Students also learn clean-up and reconstruction processes involved in a kitchen fire/smoke loss. Students then learn to write electronic damage estimates, “sell” these to the instructor, and complete the repairs themselves.
