Mission & Goals
The European Fire Safety Alliance is an independent alliance of fire professionals and exists to reduce the risk from fire. The goals and objectives are clearly bundled in the European Fire Safety Action Plan. https://www.europeanfiresafetyalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/European-Fire-Safety-Action-Plan.pdf Prevent fire risks for the growing vulnerable community Improve the reduced escape time of people during a fire Making sure that fire safety must be an inseparable part of the energy transition Raise the awareness of fire safety Realise EU-wide data on residential fires Improve EU-wide communication and collaboration
EU Legislative Interests
- The Fire Information Exchange Platform (FIEP) - Develop knowledge and competency to ensure fire safety adequately accompanies the energy transition. - Address the fire risks associated with the new forms of energy and ensure regular inspections. - Stimulate (or foster) scientific research on improving the fire safe behaviour of people and the effectiveness of interventions in the field of Community Fire Safety. - Closing data gaps and paving the way for Pan-European fire safety efforts - Harmonised European fire statistics - Improve EU-wide communication and collaboration on fire safety - Realise better cooperation between the Member States and industry on market surveillance. - Improve and increase the use of fire-safe upholstered furniture and mattresses through the introduction of an EU-standard for end-use products. - Ensure that smoke detectors have a much broader application in European homes. If people are not able to escape quickly enough or cannot escape at all, install domestic sprinklers as they are an indispensable solution in these circumstances. - Evaluate and improve the functioning of Lower Ignition Propensity (LIP) cigarettes.
