Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) Systems | ICC Approved

Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) Systems is a term that frequently refers to Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES). The purpose of these systems is to ensure hand-held radio coverage in buildings for first responders. Firefighters are first responders, but the term also includes police and emergency medical personnel. ERCES were developed due to the lack of in-building communication during operations at the World Trade Center terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. The design and installation of BDA systems are required to be performed by qualified individuals. The operation of BDA systems, or lack of, can result in the loss of life.

Foam Suppression Systems

Foam suppression systems are utilized in applications involving hazardous materials, dangerous chemicals or flammable liquids, to prevent or suppress a fire. Foam suppression systems are either mobile, or fixed and are also found in marine applications. The characteristics of foam enable the agent to disrupt the chemical reaction of fire by removing heat and oxygen. The standards used today for foam suppression systems was developed by the National Fire Protection Association in 1921 to address fire hazards in manufacturing. The evolution of the use of foam to suppress fires considers the impact on the environment and the health of humans. Code: NFPA 11 (2024) | Duration: 4 Contact-Hours | Cost: $40.00 | Access: 30-Days
