CASA will once again be offering a series of Live Virtual Educational Seminars in 2025.  The seminars will review a series of Fire Sprinkler / Fire Protection related subjects in accordance with the appropriate NFPA Standards, National Building Code & National Fire Code requirements.

Presentation Synopsis:

In this presentation, Prof Ruggiero Lovreglio will explore the intersection of Building Information Modeling (BIM), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of fire engineering. With his extensive experience in safety training and disaster management, Dr. Lovreglio will demonstrate how these cutting-edge technologies are reshaping fire safety practices.

Online Presentation: 100 Years of Firefighting… in 36 hours

The BC Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers is pleased to announce Forensic Engineer Arjun Sethi’s presentation “After the Fire: Fire Cause Investigations and Code Implications”. This presentation will offer firsthand insight of a Forensic Investigator’s view into the origin and cause investigation that occurs after a significant fire loss incident, including case studies, common and uncommon fire causes, and how our current and past construction and maintenance codes impact the outcomes of a fire.

SFPE BC Presents an in-person panel discussion on Construction Fires at the Fraserview Golf Club, located 7800 Vivian Dr, Vancouver, BC at 6:30PM on November 26th

If you were unable to sign up for this in person meeting, do not worry, we will be welcoming last minute walk-in entries at event! We will be allowing walk-in admission the venue is at capacity. As the food orders are already closed, we will not be offering food to walk-in, to compensate for this, all walk-in attendees will be charged a reduced fee, see details below.

Online Presentation: From Practical to Tactical. Enhancing High-rise Operations.

Alterations to existing buildings represent around half the volume of construction activity in Canada. Yet, the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) does not include a practical means for achieving acceptable fire and life safety in existing structures. The current mechanism in the NBCC is to use Alternative Solutions to demonstrate an equivalent or higher level of performance to the Acceptable Solutions in the Code. Existing buildings do not readily align with new construction which has led to an inconsistent, largely prescriptive approach across Canada.
