September 2021 Issue – Fire Buyer

Welcome to the latest issue of International Fire Buyer, featuring exclusive interviews with 3M, Coltraco and Hochiki Europe. We explore equipment maintenance, regulations and environmental impact across the global fire-safety landscape.

Post-Fire Door Safety Week, standards loom large as offices refill and residents demand protection. Buildings must meet updated approvals, and the battle against dangerous cladding remains central to public confidence.

This edition defends people and assets through fire-fighting Equipment (Pg.22), Emergency Lighting (Pg.32), Critical Communications (Pg.42) and Regulations (Pg.48). Themes cover practical and commercial kit upkeep, evacuation lighting benefits, wildfire communication hurdles and multi-occupancy building standards.

Our Big Interview (Pg.12) features John O’Sullivan, Technical Director, Bureau Veritas, on navigating fast-moving compliance. Quick Fire Questions meets James Wheeler, Fireco CCO, who famously crashed a boat, was saved by lifeboats and still cannot swim.

I hope you enjoy this thought-provoking read. Stay connected online and subscribe for exclusives and industry news.
