Carbon Monoxide detection in parking garages

Why an holistic approach is essential when designing fire protection systems

“Crisis Planning: Establishing a Reserve Corps”

Choice of piping is a key factor in managing costs and CPVC offers advantages in expenses for materials and labor.

Dispelling eight misconceptions about fire sprinkler systems

Figure 1: With intumescent coatings steel structures can meet the requirements of various fire resistance classes. But prolonged cold-temperature storage of intumescent coatings leads to an irreversible increase in the viscosity to a point where the coating cannot be applied anymore.

Cold temperature behavior of water-based intumescent coatings

The 2019 Notre Dame Cathedral Fire was caused by an electric fault.

Detecting and fighting fires at the earliest possible point in time helps mitigate risks and costs

Use of foam for firefighting in tank farms of the oil and petrochemical industry – Part 1

SAPPHIRE PLUS is designed to optimise fire safety performance in high value areas.

High voltage: Fire suppression in control rooms

Figure 7: FOV cones for six iVFD–type 2 detectors arrayed to cover the model hangar.

Flame detection through the use of 3D mapping to aircraft hangars – Part 2

Critical fire and life safety needs must be balanced with patient care in hospitals as well as new temporary makeshift facilities.

COVID-19 challenged us all, while reminding us about the importance of basic safety benchmarks

Extract from Ansys CFX of a model in 3D wire view. It shows the temperatures at 2 m above Level 07. This is one of the acceptance criteria we need to check.

More safety against fire – EmiControls presents an innovative way of fire protection with water mist turbine

The piston effect causes high airflow speed with peaks exceeding 20 m/s.

Early warning fire detection in underground stations

Fire curtain across wall opening.

Building division and fire curtain vision

The causes of fire fatalities and serious fire injuries in Scotland

Fire Engineering – an opportunity for everyone

Device-integrated fire protection with AMFE inside electric cabinets detects fires reliably and extinguishes at the point of origin. Signal connections monitor the activation.

It is time to challenge the traditional approach to fire prevention!

Bird’s eye view of a waste transfer station.

Fire protection regulations in waste transfer stations – ensuring compliance

In Massachusetts fires are investigated by a combination of firefighters and police officers. The fire chief is required by statute to investigate every fire in their jurisdiction. Chiefs may turn to the State Fire Marshal’s office for help depending on circumstances. Fire investigators assigned to the Massachusetts State Fire Marshal’s Office are members of the Massachusetts State Police.
