Programmatic Advice
If your site is like many others you run your own fire prevention program, keep things safe and compliant and do a good job of keeping operations going. BUT, it would be good to have a 2nd opinion or some independent analysis of a complicated fire safety issue from time to time. FP2FIRE can help. We have provided this service for multiple clients and the cost is affordable. Pay for help when you need it and not when you don’t.
Baseline Needs Assessments
A Baseline Needs Assessment determines the minimum standard for Fire Department staffing, equipment, training, and response times (station locations) by evaluating applicable regulations (dozens of them), local topography, hazards, and population and building densities, mutual aid availability and then determining the defensible baseline needs. We have performed numerous BNAs at Government sites to help them determine what they need from their Fire Department. Then we analyze all potentially applicable requirements documents and condense them into one easy to understand set of baseline needs. A BNA can be a perfect technical supplement to a Statement of Work for any agency considering an outsourcing or contract solution for emergency response needs.
Hydrogen Technologies
FP2FIRE has played an integral role in the development of new codes and standards applicable to the use of hydrogen. FP2 has key members on the Technical Commitees responsible for NFPA 2, Hydrogen Technologies Code; NFPA 55, Compressed Gases and Cryogenic Fluids Code; and NFPA 400, Hazardous Materials Code.
