Fire Engineers

Q: What is a fire engineering report?

A fire engineering report follows the risk assessment. This report will include all the findings made, as well as the calculations, plans, designs and models for a safety design to address these risks.

Q: What is a fire protection plan in engineering?

A protection plan consists of recommendations made by your engineer to reduce the damage caused by fire and ensure that people can evacuate safely during the event of an emergency. These systems often include alarms, sprinkler systems, and safety doors.

Q: How can building size impact fire engineering?

The size of the building directly impacts fire safety engineering. Larger buildings with multiple floors or that are being used by many people simultaneously will require much more safety measures to ensure everyone’s safety. This will include multiple evacuation routes and safety features such as fire doors, sprinkler systems, smoke detection systems and fire escapes.

Fire engineers are experts at designing buildings to reduce the risk of fire. They can create designs and provide advice on safety measures in new builds as well as existing constructions. Residential fire engineers work on homes and residential complexes while commercial fire engineers work on public buildings. You also get experts that specialise in specific types of buildings.

How long have you been a fire engineer?
What are your qualifications?
Have you been involved in a similar project before, and if so, what were some of the challenges you experienced?
Do you foresee any unique complications in this project?
Can you issue a fire safety certificate once the project has been completed?

What is a C10 fire engineer?

‘C10 Accredited Certifier - Fire Safety Engineering’ was the code used to identify professional engineers in all contracts and certifications before June 30th, 2020. In July 2020, the term was officially changed to ‘Certifier - Fire Safety.
