European Fire Safety Week 2024

Dear European fire safety professionals, colleagues, and friends,

On behalf of the European Fire Safety Alliance and our esteemed partners, I am pleased to invite you to the sixth edition of the European Fire Safety Week (EUFSW24). As in previous years, we have prepared a series of interesting events aimed at improving fire safety in Europe and strengthening the implementation of the European Fire Safety Action Plan.

Continuing our tradition, EUFSW24 will address current European challenges and issues related to fire safety, with this year’s particular focus on the safety of the most vulnerable members of society. During the workshops, seminars, webinars and other events, EU decision-makers, academics, researchers, firefighters, and other stakeholders will discuss about: fire safety and sustainability, strategies and technologies for a safe home environment, implementation of fire and electrical safety measures under the revised Energy Performance of Building Directive, and on the role of flame retardants in modern society.

Existing and upcoming EU legislations governing the fire safety of electric vehicles and recharging infrastructure in covered parking areas along with the challenges and best practices will be presented during the webinar co-organized by the DG MOVE of the European Commission. Because the main theme of this year’s EUFSW is fire safety of the most vulnerable, the European Smoke Alarm Day will be accompanied by information campaign #smokealarmssevelives and a webinar focusing on how to increase the use of smoke alarms in domestic homes in Europe.

As the new term of the European Parliament and the European Commission encourages the debate on fire safety priorities for coming future and need for coordination & support at the EU level, the high-level discussion on fire safety with key EU policy makers will be hosted by Mr Sean Kelly MEP in the European Parliament.

Be sure to join us during the EUFSW24 and save the dates!
