Fire safety engineering is a field that focuses on preventing and mitigating the effects of fire in buildings and other structures. It involves the application of scientific and engineering principles to design systems that protect people, property, and the environment from fire hazards. This includes creating fire detection systems, designing safe evacuation routes, and ensuring that materials used in construction are fire-resistant. Professionals in fire safety engineering assess risks and develop strategies to minimize fire-related incidents. They work closely with architects, builders, and safety regulators to ensure compliance with fire codes and standards. Their goal is to create safe environments where the risk of fire is reduced and the impact of any fire that does occur is limited.
