Fire Investigations: Leveraging our Expertise in Fire Safety Engineering 🔥 Recently, our team conducted a comprehensive fire investigation, drawing on our expertise in fire safety engineering and analysis. Using guidance from NFPA 921: Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations, we were able to uncover critical insights into the fire’s origin, cause, and behaviour. Our investigation included remediation recommendations with capital cost estimates to return the building to pre-fire conditions. At FRS, we are proud to be at the forefront of fire safety engineering—helping property owners and stakeholders mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and safeguard lives. #FireSafety #FireInvestigation #NFPA921 #BuildingSafety #FireEngineering #RiskManagement #SafetyFirst --- Feel free to adjust the tone or any project-specific details!

It was an absolute pleasure to present at Edison Engineers Lunch & Learn session on critical fire safety topics for residential buildings! We covered essential fire safety areas such as: - Flashover dynamics and how it affects fire growth and safety in residential enclosure fires. - The potential fire safety impacts of improving the air tightness of the building envelope - Fire stopping, fire blocking, and managing concealed spaces to enhance fire prevention and occupant safety - Egress and stairwell and elevator pressurization requirements A big thank you to the amazing team at Edison Engineers Inc. for the warm welcome and the opportunity to learn about all the impressive work they are doing in the industry. Looking forward to continuing the conversation and working together on future fire safety initiatives! #FireSafety #BuildingSafety #FirePrevention #SustainableandFireResilient #CombustibleCladding

We’ve been hard at work, and we’re thrilled to share our latest completed project with the City of Guelph! Over 20 City facilities—including admin buildings, heritage gems, transportation depots, and Fire/EMS & Police Headquarters—got the full treatment with our Building Condition Assessments (BCAs) and some seriously cool building measurements and 3D virtual tours and virtual asset tagging through our engagement with Mapply Building Measurement Company. Why is this awesome? These assessments help the City plan for the future of their buildings—making sure everything’s in tip-top shape for years to come AND setting the stage for their next-gen CMMS platform. Want the scoop? Dive into our one-pager for the full rundown! #CityOfGuelph #BCA #3DVisualizations #FutureReady #AssetMasterPlan

In our article this week, we dive deep into the complexities of stair pressurization systems in high-rise buildings, especially under the influence of stack effect—a phenomenon particularly challenging in colder climates. Following insightful discussions with Fire Prevention officers and Architectural Engineering students, we explore why ensuring safe egress during emergencies is more than just a priority—it's a design imperative. The article sheds light on the challenges and innovative solutions in managing airflow and maintaining safety standards in tall buildings. For those interested in the intersections of architecture, safety, and engineering, this read offers valuable insights into how modern design strategies can effectively address these critical issues. 👉 Check it out and join the conversation on how we can enhance safety in urban architecture! #HighRiseSafety #BuildingDesign #Architecture #Engineering #FireSafety

New Article Alert: Bridging the Gap in Level of Service Analysis for Non-Core Building Assets We are excited to share our latest article on the crucial disconnect in current Level of Service (LOS) analysis for non-core building assets Traditional LOS assessments often focus solely on the physical condition of assets, missing out on critical aspects such as functionality, user satisfaction, and risk criteria. This comprehensive analysis is essential for optimizing resource allocation, ensuring operational efficiency, and meeting the evolving needs of the public. In this article, we explore: 1. The limitations of current LOS analysis approaches. 2. The need for a holistic evaluation that includes physical and functional obsolescence along with risk criteria. 3. An expanded LOS analysis framework and action matrix to guide decision-making. 🔍 Dive into the full article to learn how a more comprehensive LOS analysis can transform the management of non-core building assets and ensure they continue to serve their communities effectively.
