The George M. Lanier Fire Protection Laboratory Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

The Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC) is celebrated the official opening of their state-of-the-art fire protection laboratory, the George M. Lanier Fire Protection Laboratory. Recently, during the 46 ^th annual Georgia Fire Safety Symposium, the lab officially opened on the GPSTC campus, led by State Fire Marshal Dwayne Garriss.

The Fire Protection Lab is 2,400 square feet and will serve as a hands-on, technical firefighting training facility for students and will include technology and buildings they may come across—past, present or future.

Named after the late George Lanier, who was the driving force behind Georgia fire prevention and code enforcement from 1964 to 2014, the lab is intended to also serve as a driving force for making Georgia safe. Many members of the fire service community are partnered: The Georgia Association of Fire Safety Equipment Dealers, the Georgia State Fire Marshal’s Office, the Georgia Fire Sprinkler Association and the Georgia Fire Academy.

The GPSTC will be celebrating its 30 ^th anniversary July 22, 2017. All public safety manufactures and vendors are invited, so make sure to come out and see the new facility for yourself. Learn more about the 30 ^th GPSTC Anniversary Product Showcase Event here .
