Webinar Fire safety of vulnerable people (European Fire Safety Week 2022)

In this webinar the latest research from Belgium and the Netherlands (Netherlands Institute for Public Safety) is presented on the risk of smoke propagation and what can be done to prevent the risk for vulnerable people. Different strategies: escape, defend- and stay-in-place and necessary corresponding measures are discussed, not only from a technical point of view, but also from a human behaviour point of view.
