Untitled Introduction Few things are more frightening to contemplate than a fire.
Fires kill, destroy homes and leave survivors with painful, disfiguring injuries.
Worse still, fire is often cruelest to the very young, the elderly and the infirm. Smoke detectors and sprinkler systems can be very effective in reducing injuries, loss of life and property damage. Yet, clearly the best solution is to prevent fires from starting. Treating flammable materials to make them more resistant to ignition and flame propagation. Designing buildings that are more resistant to the hazards of fires.
