Oval Brand Fire Products’ FIRE EXTINGUISHERS are world’s slimmest high-performance ABC and Purple K Dry-Chemical fire extinguishers. Compliant with protruding-object requirements-an oft-ignored section of the Americans with Disabilities Act-they are as much as 40 percent slimmer than traditional, five- and 10-pound round extinguishers, helping alleviate problems for architects and designers as well as building owners and operators.

Because they’re slim, they fit within standard-width walls without needing a protruding cabinet. When mounted to a surface, they’re also less likely to be bumped by passers-by and therefore less prone to fall, potentially causing injury or damage to the unit. http://ovalfireproducts.com.

DEStech Publications, Inc.’s STRUCTURES IN FIRE 2016 offers original research on the fire behavior of building components made from concrete, steel, composites, glasses, and timber. Its 135 chapters, written by researchers from 26 nations, contain key technical information on how fire affects widely used construction materials in multiple configurations.

Attention is placed on new testing and modeling approaches as well as on structural health monitoring and strategies for protection. The findings in this book will be of benefit to design and fire safety engineers. www.destechpub.com/product/structures-fire-2016. (877) 500-4DES.

IntelliMon’s FiRST™ (Firefighter Rescue and Support Technology®) is an intelligent monitoring system developed to improve the safety and operational effectiveness of firefighters in action. It’s comprised of electronics connected to thermal sensors which use artificial intelligence to analyze the rapidly changing temperatures in a smoke-filled contained fire environment where firefighters frequently operate.

It is encased in ruggedized housing and mounted on to a firefighter’s breathing apparatus as a core component in firefighting equipment. Unlike simple threshold-based temperature sensors, FiRST™ is far more sensitive and intuitive and predicts a flashover much more rapidly, providing firefighters with vital time to react accordingly. www.IntelliMon.co.uk.
