U.S.-based Firestable Insulation Company enters the building insulation market with patented, directly code-compliant, NFPA-275 thermal barrier closed-cell spray foam insulation that immediately meets the International Building Code upon application without the need for an additional thermal barrier.
Electric vehicles and motorized micro-mobility devices (e-bikes and e-scooters) are more popular than ever, but the potential for fire-related hazards associated with the lithium-ion batteries that power these forms of transport is real and often underestimated.
Look beyond active fire protection, such as fire extinguishers and pay equal attention to the systems that work to contain and compartmentalize fire and smoke.
Although smoke detectors are essential for safety and mandated by the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), traditional, bulky models mounted on ceilings or walls in high end residential homes can interrupt – even ruin – the overall design and feel of a space.
One of the many seminars this year, “Tame the Flame: A Close Look at Exterior Wall Flammability with a Focus on NFPA 285” will be presented by Dwayne Sloan on March 28, from 8:00-9:30 a.m.
Reductions in injury and death are due in part to the development of building codes aimed at minimizing fire risks and increasing energy efficiency in new commercial construction.
