Chubb Opens Training Facility To All
THE CHUBB INSURANCE CO.’s Loss Control University is now open for public attendance.
Thomas W. LaCorte, Asst. Vice President, writes to us from his office in Warren, New Jersey:
The training center is operated by Chubb Insurance Company, a large property insurance carrier in the USA. We recently opened our facility to the general public and offer seven 1 and 2 day seminars on various fire protection topics from sprinkler systems to fire pumps. Our training is “hands-on” with a mix of classroom and live demos from fire pump tests to setting dry pipe valves. In 2007 we had over 800 firefighters, fire inspectors, sprinkler contractors, and building owners attend our seminars. We have been training NJ Fire Marshals since 1988 at our facility.
Our equipment is operational and includes, a diesel and electric fire pump, 3 dry pipe valves, single, double and on/off preaction valves as well a deluge valve. We also have an area where we can demonstrate the various valves with a live fire. It is one of the few working fire protection training facilities in the USA.
You can read more about the training facility at their website HERE and can request a schedule of their upcoming classes. Warren, New Jersey, is about a 30-minute drive from the Newark airport.

I’ve been to the Chubb training and it was great. One of the best parts was the fire sprinkler activation. I’m looking for some video o fthis for fire department training and any help would be great.
