527 CMR 4.00

Firedragon Academy has provided training on 527CMR4.00, the Massachusetts Regulation, or Code, for oil burners, to over 36,000 Fire Inspectors, oilheat technicians, attorneys and insurance companies since 1975. Our firm has been the sole contractor to provide education for the oilheat service industry and the Commonwealth's Department of Fire Services.
Firedragon Academy is the sole custodian of the Checklist and has been the only source of the course textbook, The CMR 4.00 Guide^© since 1995. 
The Guide is now in it's Sixth Edition (Color Cover) to reflect the changes of 2010 and is considered the standard for installation and inspection purposes. 
All 527CMR4.00 seminars conducted by the Firedragon Academy now include the Guide. Also included in all seminars is a copy of the industry accepted Checklist, Form 1 and Form 1A.
In addition, we supply information and seminars to the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, the Fire Marshal's Office and many local Fire Departments on the Regulation and we have been the sole contracted supplier on 527CMR4.00 to the Massachusetts State Fire Marshal's Office since 2000.

Private sessions for Fire Departments, home inspectors, trade associations, oil companies, heating contractors, insurance companies, attorneys and others may include the Guide at a special reduced seminar rate. Please call us for more information. 

George Lanthier is our primary instructor, who has been teaching the MA code since 1975, and he keeps everything 'same book, same page!'
