From Fire Dynamics to Safer Campuses: Applying Research to Prevention
 ICC Course # 49871
                                    
Today’s fire service relies on scientific research to improve training, fireground operations, and codes and standards. Yet, a gap remains in applying this same evidence-based understanding to public fire safety education—especially within complex environments like college and university campuses. 
 
Campus fire safety professionals play a critical role in bridging this gap. Historically, outreach efforts often depended on static or outdated messaging. Today, with advances in fire dynamics research, members of the fire service can deliver more engaging and effective education rooted in science. By leveraging findings from UL Research Institutes’ Fire Safety Research Institute and real-world operational data, campus fire safety leaders can translate cutting-edge knowledge about fire behavior and response into practical, relatable guidance for students, staff, and facility managers.
 

 This session will help participants turn fireground insights into clear, research-backed safety messages tailored for the campus community. Through interactive activities and implementation strategies, attendees will learn to communicate evidence-based practices that reduce fire risk, slow fire growth, and improve both occupant safety and firefighter effectiveness. Ideal for campus fire marshals, safety educators, emergency managers, and public information officers, this program equips participants with the tools to foster a stronger culture of fire safety across campus communities.

Hazardous Building Materials and Fire Department Pre-Planning
 ICC Course # 49908
Many institutions of higher education have programs to mitigate hazardous building materials (asbestos, e.g.) in existing buildings. Some fire departments have hard experience about attacking fires in asbestos-containing buildings, but many do not. NFPA standards for fire incident preplanning do not take these materials into account. This presentation will lay out the scope of hazardous building materials in legacy structures, and propose a crosswalk for those to
pre-planning efforts.

Attendees will Understand where hazardous building materials may be present, understand NFPA 1620 Standard for Pre-Incident Planning and be encouraged to consider a challenge to integrate hazardous building materials into fire pre-plans.
