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 Symposium timetable please click here
