Beyond Cause & Origin: Engineering Analysis of Building Fires This seminar addresses different types of engineering analyses related to building fires, including ignition, fire spread, fire detection, fire suppression, fire confinement and egress analysis. This seminar also addresses the legal context under which most fire investigations are conducted. A number of case studies are presented to demonstrate the engineering analysis of building fires.
This seminar is of value to fire investigators for a number of reasons:
· This seminar helps fire investigators understand how FPEs can assist them in their investigations.
· This seminar helps investigators understand fire protection systems as required by NFPA 1033.
· This seminar helps fire investigators understand fire modeling as required by NFPA 1033.
The learning objectives for this course include:
· Understand the different roles for fire protection engineers in fire investigations;
· Understand the legal and regulatory context for fire investigations and experts;
· Understand the role of building codes and fire safety standards in assessing standards of care for building design, construction, operation and maintenance;
· Appreciate how fire modeling and fire dynamics analysis can be used for fire scenario hypothesis testing;
· Understand the expected performance of different types of fire protection systems and features in buildings.
Instructor: Dr. Frederick W. Mowrer is the Director of Fire Protection Engineering Programs at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA (fpe.calpoly.edu), where he also teaches FPE graduate courses in the program. Dr. Mowrer holds a PhD in Fire Protection Engineering and Combustion Science from the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Mowrer served on the faculty of the Department of Fire Protection Engineering at the University of Maryland for 21 years before retiring with emeritus status in 2008. Dr. Mowrer is a Fellow and Past President of the SFPE (2002) and served as Chair of the Technical Steering Committee of the SFPE (2004-2015). He is the recipient of the John L. Bryan Mentoring Award and the Rolf H. Jensen Award for Committee Service. Dr. Mowrer has been involved in the investigation and analysis of hundreds of fires, including major fires at the MGM Grand Hotel, the Las Vegas Hilton, the First Interstate Bank, One Meridian Plaza, the World Trade Center, the Station Nightclub, and the Cook County Administration Building. He has lectured extensively to fire investigators and FPEs on the Engineering Analysis of Building Fires
