Our annual FireNZ national conference has established a reputation as the premier fjre industry event for keeping abreast
- f advancements in all aspects of fjre safety in New Zealand.
The conference theme “Evolution of Fire – Refmecting on the Past... Looking to the FUTURE” follows on from last year’s theme of “The Beginning of a new Era” and explores how we have matured as an industry and continue to set higher goals and standards to forge a better fjre safe future for ourselves and the public who are the end users of our work. This will be an opportunity to look at how Fire and Emergency NZ have taken advantage of their new framework and how new designs have evolved using the new fjre protection codes of practice. It will also be an opportunity to present new innovations for responding to the changes in the built environment caused by the move from single dwellings to multi dwelling accommodation, leading to an increased focus on fjre protection systems, fjre rated construction, material selection, and external cladding system performance to name a few.
