    • Articles Why nobody can avoid using BIM
      Why nobody can avoid using BIM

      There has been a lot of talk recently about digitalisation in the construction industry and the introduction of building information modelling. An independent BIM expert explains what this subject is actually all about and discusses what it means for those involved in preventative fire protection using Germany as an example.

    • Articles Designing barrier-free Alarms and Escape Routes – for Everybody
      Designing barrier-free Alarms and Escape Routes – for Everybody

      In the event of a fire, many affected persons depend on operational, organisational and technical measures for safe egress. The consideration of people with special needs when designing fire alarm systems and escape routes can benefit everyone. This article will discuss a summary of research findings from the joint project ORPHEUS funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in combination with design principles of universal design.

    • Articles International Fire Statistics
      Fire Statistics

      Here you will find a list of international statistics, including fire data, fire causes, fire injuries and deaths. Some of the statistics only consider single aspects.

    • Articles Extinguishing Li-ion Battery Fires on Ships
      Extinguishing Li-ion-Battery Fires on Ships (1)

      Battery-powered vessels introduce new fire risks and challenges for fire extinguishing systems. Many people are uncertain on what types of fire extinguishing systems are suitable, so RISE has conducted tests to demonstrate performance of different extinguishing agents for suppressing battery fires.

    • Articles Interview: "Perfect places require perfect solutions"
      Interview: Perfect places require perfect solutions

      Safety and security technology for buildings, including fire safety, continues to evolve rapidly. FeuerTrutz spoke with Michael Brotz, Head of Solution Safety Germany at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, about the direction of these developments and about the risks and opportunities.

    • Articles Food Industry: High Risks, few Precautions
      FeuerTrutz International 1-2019: Food Industry - High Risks, few Precautions

      The high concentration of resources for the production process and the resulting stock means that the risk of fire damage in the food industry has risen sharply. Protective measures that have long been common in other sectors thus also need to become standard in the production of food and beverages.

    • Articles Effective Extinguishing Solutions in hazardous Material Warehouses
      Extinguishing Solutions in hazardous Material Warehouses

      A large-scale fire test confirms the extinguishing power of compressed-air foam in hazardous material warehouses. This extinguishing agent represents an efficient alternative to conventional extinguishing systems for the protection of highly flammable materials.

    • Articles Fire Protection in the Middle Kingdom
      FeuerTrutz International 1-2019: Fire Protection in the Middle Kingdom

      The number of buildings constructed each year in the People’s Republic of China (P.R. China) is astronomical. In the Middle Kingdom, this is certainly the case due to the dynamic development of cities with millions of inhabitants and metropolitan regions. How significant is preventative fire protection in this process and how does fire protection actually work in China?

    • Articles Lithium-ion Batteries in Vehicles – Risk Analysis from a Fire and Gas Release Perspective
      Lithium-ion Batteries in Vehicles – Risk Analysis from a Fire and Gas Release Perspective

      Lithium-ion batteries offer high energy density and many other benefits, but also risks that need to be dealt with. Design and construction can have a decisive effect on battery safety, and to assess and manage the risks it is important to maintain a holistic perspective that encompasses both the battery and the environment around and outside the battery system.

    • Articles Digital Documentation: Opportunities and Risks
      FeuerTrutz International 1-2019: Digital Documentation

      Documentation needs to be comprehensive, understandable and secure. The notebook has become obsolete in this day and age for a variety of reasons. Digital tools are uncharted territory for many in our sector, raising some justifiable questions.
