On February 22, Randy Brown presented to a packed crowd on the tenants of surviving a fire-related emergency and recovering your business afterwards. Because of the high level of interest we have posted the presentation in PDF format on our website.

The presentation covers the safety for escaping the perils of fire in both residential and commercial buildings. It also provides tips for the unfortunate event that you cannot escape a building fire and need to defend in place.

The presentation also covers four main misconceptions about fires:

• Fires are not like the movies, they are dark and smoke prevents you from seeing.
• Smoke and gas will kill you before the flames will.
• Time is not on your side; fires can rip through buildings in minutes.
• Your best defence against fires is closing the doors between you and fire.
• 
The presentation also covers the importance of planning for emergencies and having contingencies in place before an emergency happens to ensure that your business or building will return to order as quickly as possible.
