The Fire Prevention Commission of the CTIF held a virtual meeting on 31st May 2024. The meeting was attended by 7 participants from 4 member countries.
It was agreed that for the restoration of this commission an election of a chairman, eventually a vice-chairman and a secretary is necessary. A proposal was made by the organizer of the meeting, the Vice-President of the CTIF, Martin Nekula, who asked potential adepts for these positions to apply by sending their CVs and on the next meeting the elections will be held.
The participants of the meeting also decided that a space for sharing data, documents, information, etc. will be established. It was also agreed that another virtual meeting will be organized by the end of this year and next year the members of the commission will meet in person.
Last but not least the direction of the commission was set up as the main topics were discussed to be focused on such as photovoltaic systems, batteries, battery storage – preventive measures, statistical data – mortality related to fire detection, fires of waste containers, the issue of house insulation, garage parking of alternative drive vehicles, hydrogen technologies, fire safety in "green" buildings, integration of fire safety and smart buildings, the impact of climate change on fire safety, role and training of fire safety professionals, and smart fire safety solutions.
