Incinerate a room in 44 seconds? What they don't teach in CISSP books about fire!
Please join us to see some scary _but_ cool fire videos and learn about:
- 44 seconds - the length of time it took for a typical room to explode into flames
- 3.5 minutes - the length of time it took for one entire side of a stadium to be completely engulfed in flames
- Can you really put sprinklers in a computer room? Better yet, should you?
- What can you do to stay safe from fire?
- Tons of other stuff they don't teach in the CISSP books about fire protection and it's role in information assurance.
