All buildings require some degree of fire protection systems, but did you know that in Massachusetts, local fire departments are empowered to require the Owner to retain the services of a 3rd party plans examiner for the review of permit documents, submittals, witnessing of tests and assistance with inspections? This month’s program, Installation Do’s, Don’ts and Combustibility Testing, will be held at WPI’s Fire Protection Engineering building at the Gateway Park Campus, home to one of the premiere FPE programs in the nation. The building includes a unique “fire lab” where construction materials and other assemblies can be burned to determine combustibility, evaluate smoke evacuation designs, and where the behavior of fire can be controlled and studied. Fritz Brokaw, WPI’s Fire Science Laboratory Manager, will start the evening off with a quick tour and demonstration of the fire lab and its capabilities.
