Thank you to the IASIU Orlando Chapter, Insurance Auto Auctions, the Sanford Fire Department and all of our sponsors for a fantastic Vehicle Burn & Learn event!

KHFC was honored to be part of the “2018 Fraud Awareness Conference—Vehicle Fires: Mechanical or Manmade?” at Insurance Auto Auctions in Sanford. We are extremely thankful to the IASIU Orlando Chapter for inviting us to co-host this event. It also would not have been possible without the Sanford Fire Department or our sponsors! We are hoping to make this opportunity for free CE credit hours an annual event.
