Active Fire Precautions – When and where are they needed?

Thurs 25 March
With Nick Southall

In this presentation we will consider Early Warning Fire detection, Emergency lighting provisions, Water Suppression systems and Fire curtain provisions. We will explore basic design considerations for these active fire precautions and the suitable extent of provision for a range of building types. This should provide a handy reference guide and should give confidence to participants in determining when and where and to what extent these provisions are suitable as part of the Fire safety design.
