Whether it was protection for cave dwellers or sowing the seeds of the Industrial revolution fire continues to shape our lives.

Citizens initiatives and the government regulations are shaping modern cities. 2010, 11 or even 2017, taking fire safety seriously has never been optional. Each day, alarming statistics await us in form of news pieces, obituaries and tragedies. Carlton or Cuffe Parade, fire accidents are a reality that need to be addressed.
