September 2023 Issue – Fire Buyer

Welcome to another edition of International Fire Buyer, curated for exclusive features, in-depth interviews, and cutting-edge products driving active and passive fire protection.

Amid a revitalised event season, the passive sector tightens competency standards and construction-phase regulations, demanding rigorous planning, quality systems, and processes that keep buildings—and occupants—safe.

In the active arena, escalating urbanisation, climate-driven wildfires, and the surge of electric vehicles compel new strategies, tools, and greener suppression solutions.

This issue unpacks Vehicle Equipment (Fogmaker), PPE, Wildfires (FOL-DA-TANK), and Detection—covering EV suppression, global PPE demands, and advances in wireless alarms.

Big Interview: new ASFP Chair Clive Miles maps future challenges. Innovator: Fomtec’s John Olav Ottesen outlines the PFAS-free foam horizon, while Quick Fire finds Brent Brooks’ Top Gun dreams grounded by height.

The Product Spotlight spans Allegion, Godiva, STI, Fomtec, and Janus. Follow us online, subscribe, and watch for Fire Buyer Live this October.
