Safety and prevention. The meeting includes practical sessions in real scenarios and workshops.

The three-day meeting is being held at the ZAL Port de Barcelona, bringing together over 200 delegates from around Europe and the US to share knowledge, experiences and the latest discoveries in fire investigation.

Fire investigation and the determination of causes are fundamental for protecting people and assets. This is a complex process which requires specific knowledge, a careful analysis of data and the use of technology and science.

In addition, the seminar includes demonstrations and practical cases, such as a simulated house fire and workshops to study key aspects in fire investigation, such as the ignition of electrical elements, the way fire reacts to various materials, the use of accelerators and more.

An in-depth look at these factors will help improve technical fire prevention, self-protection and the knowledge of human behaviour and operational intervention.
