Welcome to the Web page for the British Columbia Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers. This webpage is for members of the chapter and for those interested in fire protection engineering in British Columbia.
This Two-day seminar provides the information necessary to navigate through the requirements of NFPA 13 “Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems”. Using lectures, videos and basic sprinkler plans the participant will locate the vital information for determining compliance of the sprinkler system design. All attendees will receive a free workbook, continental breakfast, and morning and afternoon coffee break.
Professor Lovegrove this week was a key note speaker at the annual fire protection association of Australia national conference in Adelaide. It was a fantastic conference, well attended with some wonderful speakers. We have always had a lot of time for the fire engineering profession. It is noble work that has a critical impact. Kim Lovegroves paper on point is linked below and we recommend the paper to anyone in the engineering field.
The presentation will review recent work by the Foundation to identify the emerging issues facing fire safety that are relevant to fire protection engineering. Recent projects to address those issues will be summarized, including work on lithium ion batteries and other storage protection challenges, data center detection, evacuation from tall buildings, and an overview of our fire service related research. An update on SFPE strategic initiatives will also be presented.
