The Fire Service College is delighted to be hosting an
International High Rise Symposium which will take place at the
College, in Moreton in Marsh, on Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th
October 2011.
High Rise incidents present one of the most challenging
operational environments encountered within the world of
firefighting and require significant resources to mitigate even the
most routine fire or emergency.
The primary objective of the Symposium is to focus on the
learning and sharing of best practices. This unique event
represents a fantastic opportunity to bring together leading
practictioners and the most experienced and respected High Rise
firefighting experts from across the world to share their extensive
experience, as well as provide valuable information on lessons
learnt from their involvement in High Rise incidents.
The agenda for the two-day Symposium will cover a wide range of
subject areas and case studies presented by speakers from the UK,
Canada and the USA, which are sure to be of interest to all
delegates. We believe that this Symposium will be
of particular interest to UK and international Fire and Rescue
Services, Fire Engineers, Architects and particularly those
concerned and mandated with developing policies and training in
High Rise Emergency Management.
In addition to interactive question and answer sessions with the
expert panel, delegates will also have the opportunity to
view an Exhibition which will run alongside the Symposium,
featuring companies and organisations displaying equipment and
technology associated with the High Rise conference theme.
The final Agenda and list of speakers will be confirmed shortly
and published on this website. To view the provisional
