After becoming familiar with the field of fire engineering and its important position, it is necessary to examine the responsibilities of engineers in this field. In this field, the equipment needed to deal with possible fires must be designed. This equipment is used in the construction process of many buildings and has a wide variety. In addition to making new structures safe from fire, sometimes it is necessary to update old buildings in accordance with safety standards. Fire engineers must have a thorough knowledge of the standards and regulations related to making structures safe from fire. Among the most important duties of these specialists are the following:
- Designing various buildings with fire safety considerations and implementing fire regulations
- Assessing the fire risk in old buildings and structures through their detailed inspection
- Developing efficient equipment for fire suppression and control
- Collaborate with other building engineers to implement fire extinguishing systems
- Providing advice on fire protection systems and solutions
- Using computer modeling to prevent fire spread
The presence of fire protection engineers in various construction projects plays an important role in increasing the level of environmental safety.
