October 2021 Issue – Fire Buyer

Welcome to the latest issue of International Fire Buyer, dedicated to compliance, maintenance and specialist equipment. We feature an exclusive interview with MEIKO Global on sterilising breathing apparatus, and examine alternative resources such as aerial firefighting, platforms and vehicle-mounted ladders that can mean the difference between life and death.

Four expert features explore Aerial Firefighting (Pg.10), Uniforms (Pg.20), Respiratory Equipment (Pg.26) and Vehicles (Pg.32). We cover helicopters, planes, smoke jumpers and drones; uniform materials and standards; maintenance, training and cleaning of respiratory gear; plus aerial ladders and platforms supporting multi-occupancy urban fires.

Our Big Interview (Pg.8) features Gary Strong, Chair of the IFSS Coalition and RICS Global Building Standards Director, discussing a United Nations-backed overhaul of global fire safety standards. Quick Fire Questions spotlights Bettina McDowell, General Manager of the International Water Mist Association, who reveals her surprising talent for hypnotism.
