Fire Science Show is connecting fire researchers and practitioners with a society of fire engineers, firefighters, architects, designers and all others, who are genuinely interested in creating a fire-safe future. Through interviews with a diverse group of experts, we present the history of our field as well as the most novel advancements. We hope the Fire Science Show becomes your weekly source of fire science knowledge and entertainment. Produced in partnership with the Diamond Sponsor of the show - OFR Consultants

136 - Fire Fundamentals pt 6 - The fire automation in a building
In this episode of Fire Fundamentals, we dive into the life-saving choreography of fire detection and building automation systems that must work together in case of a fire. We discuss the roles and challenges related to:
- fire detection and signalling;
- control panels and fire scenarios;
- smoke control and compartmentalization;
- power and water supply and management.
We also discuss the sources of potential delays in device operation, and how some of those are consciously built into the system as a means for false alarm mitigation.
