What is a Fire Protection Engineer? Fire protection engineers use science and technology to protect people, property and businesses from destructive fires. They analyze how buildings are used, how fires start, how fires grow, and how fire and smoke affect people, buildings and property. Fire Protection engineers use the latest technologies to: · Design systems that control fires, alert people to danger and provide means for escape; · Evaluate buildings to pinpoint the risks of fires and the means to prevent them; · Conduct fire safety research on consumer products and construction materials; · Investigate fires to discover how fire spreads, why protective measures failed, and how those measures could have been designed more effectively.
