Firefighting for Fire Engineers Workshop
Christchurch – South Island
Monday 16th August
The Institution of Fire Engineers will be hosting a one-day live fire programme for fire engineers and people who work in fire related industries or who have an interest in the fire safety design of buildings. This programme has been developed to give participants the opportunity to gain a better understanding of fire and smoke behaviour and fire fighting techniques by involving them in a series of real fire simulations. All participants will be able to gain first hand experience of real fires in building enclosures, including fire initiation and development, fire and smoke spread, flashover, the use of fire fighting equipment, fire fighting and search and rescue techniques, and more.
