February 2023 Issue – Fire Buyer

Welcome to the February issue of International Fire Buyer. I hope January eased you into 2023 and business is thriving. We debut “The Innovator”, a column exploring sector pioneers.

Our first Innovator, Brian Hesler—Consultant and Special Adviser at Dräger Safety—traces the company’s heritage and its worker-protection mission. The Interview features Steve Hamm, CEO of the Institution of Fire Engineers, on shifting legislation and how the IFE guides practitioners. Fire Buyer Live attendees can also catch Steve’s session.

Themes this issue tackle climate-driven challenges: ventilation technology, search and rescue, fire doors and suppression systems. Discover the Mississauga Miracle, cutting-edge SAR tools, and advances preparing us for harsher conditions.

With Fire Buyer Live launching online 8–9 March, our Events section previews the free programme. Register now, follow our website and social channels for daily news, and subscribe to the newsletter so you miss nothing. Endless thanks for your support—stay safe until next time.
