Fire Protection Engineering
Nothing is more terrifying than the thought of your home or place of business being consumed in an insurmountable inferno, putting you and loved ones, friends, or colleagues in grave danger. Each year, far too many lives are claimed by fires that begin unforeseeably in a residence or workplace. So, too, are all too many structures, natural areas, and even whole communities. With rising temperatures and depleted water reserves in many areas of the world, including large portions of North America, the risk of fire has increased dramatically, making fire protection and prevention more crucial than ever before. Fire protection engineering specialists are responsible for applying science and engineering principles to protect people, property, and the environment from the dangerous effects of fire and smoke. These professionals are behind the creation and production of numerous life-saving fire protection and prevention products. Fire protection engineers also take part in jobs involving construction or evaluations, ensuring that a commercial building or residential property is built in compliance with local, state, and federal fire safety laws and regulations. They can ensure proper fire detection equipment, such as fire alarm systems and brigade call systems, have been installed. They will also ensure that, in case of fire, proper exits, such as fire lifts and emergency exits, are available and clearly marked, working proactively to prevent fatalities.
