#ARCSchat November 10, 2020: Fire Preparation co-hosted with the ARCS Emergency SubCommittee

#ARCSchat returned on November 10, at 1:00 p.m. ET, to set aflame our current assumptions about fire and to illuminate all that we misunderstand about fire preparation. The panel fanning the flames included:

Michael Kilby, Associate Director for Fire Protection at the Smithsonian
Betsy Severance, Head Registrar at the Getty
Jared Yax, Firefighter and Collections Curator and Off-Site Facilities Manager at the Tri-Cities Historical Museum, Grand Haven, Michigan.

Additionally, we will feature guest host Rebecca Kennedy, an independent registrar in Washington, D.C., chair of the ARCS Emergency Programming Subcommittee, and collections emergency specialist.
