JOHNSTON, R.I., USA—Lithium-ion battery-based energy storage systems (ESS), in high demand for supplying energy to buildings and power grids but under scrutiny for recent fires and explosions, are the focus of new fire protection and installation ...

JOHNSTON, R.I. USA—Brion Callori, senior vice president, engineering and research at FM Global, one of the world’s largest commercial and industrial property insurers, has been elected to the board of directors of the National Fire Protection ...

Firefighters can now maximize their firefighting skills in buildings equipped with sprinkler systems through a self-paced online training program.

FM Global today released new research on oxygen reduction systems, finding them a potentially adequate fire protection method for certain well-sealed, unoccupied spaces.

FM Global outlines the strengths of the proposed protocol in a new research technical report, “Evaluation of the Fire Performance of Aluminum Cladding Material (ACM) Assemblies Using ANSI/FM 4880.”

The latest guidance is now available in a data sheet for those seeking to protect automatic storage and retrieval systems (ASRS).

The magnitude of the tragic fire that engulfed London’s Grenfell Tower in June was preventable. That per a new whitepaper from FM Global.

Lithium-ion batteries, so useful in smartphones, electric cars and energy storage systems, can catch fire and explode. The risk is magnified in warehouse settings where hundreds of thousands of batteries could be stored.
