December/January 2025 Issue – Fire Buyer

As we enter 2025, I’m delighted to present this International Fire Buyer. This first 2025 edition also celebrates CEO David Rossiter’s 25 years of stewardship of Hand Media International, whose commitment to excellence inspires our content.

As Intersec’s Exclusive International Media Partner, we mirror the innovation set to debut at Dubai World Trade Centre this January. With 1,200+ exhibitors from 60+ countries, Intersec embodies collaboration.

The Middle East leads advancements in fire safety, resilience, and sustainability—from Dubai’s 2024 standards to AI detection and advanced suppression. Convergence, collaboration, and innovation drive integration of physical and digital safety, cross-sector partnerships, and tech aligned with sustainability goals.

Inside: interviews with Intersec Portfolio Director Grant Tuchten, ventilation innovator Amy Weinmeister, and experts at Allegion, Sensitron, and Firemiks. Features cover fire suppression trends, evolving PPE, and detection systems tailored to regional climate and infrastructure.

Thank you for joining us; here’s to innovation, collaboration, and celebration.
