On May 29, 2025, the CTIF Fire Prevention Commission held a virtual meeting attended by seven participants, including one guest, from three member countries. The meeting focused on ongoing fire prevention initiatives and preparations for the upcoming in-person session later this year.
As the commission currently lacks a chairman, it was agreed that this matter will be addressed and resolved during the in-person meeting scheduled for autumn 2025 in Slovenia.
One of the highlights of the meeting was a presentation by Mr. Finian Joyce from the European Fire Safety Alliance, who introduced the Smoke Alarm Days initiative. His presentation emphasized the importance of public awareness and proactive fire prevention measures.
Participants also discussed the agenda for the in-person meeting, suggesting several key topics of interest. These included:
-
Smoke Alarm Days
-
Fire safety related to electric vehicles (EVs)
-
Fires involving photovoltaic systems
-
Fire legislation and regulation
-
Fires involving new materials
-
Building requirements and codes
-
Fire safety in historical buildings
-
Shelter construction codes
-
Safety concerns related to lithium-ion batteries
These topics will form the basis of the discussions and presentations at the autumn meeting, aimed at fostering knowledge exchange and strengthening fire prevention strategies across CTIF member countries.
