Figure 1. What would a seminar about electricity be without utility poles? The Fire Findings’ laboratory setting allows for full-scale and elaborate displays of a wide variety of electrical components you encounter every day.

Figures 2 and 3. Components of the electric distribution system are displayed and controlled like you’ve never seen before to provide a better understanding of the route that electricity takes in its journey into our homes.

Figure 4. A demonstration of a “floating” neutral gives students a close-up view of the effects of the often-misunderstood event.

Figure 5. Instructor and Fire Findings’ Editor, Jack Sanderson, discusses an answer to one of many test questions derived from actual fire-damaged displays.
