This conference is the fire event growing in size and expanding geographically. The aim of the fire safety day is to put focus on fire research in the Nordic countries and Europe.
A large number of industrial exhibitors and sponsors enables the free participation of students of the day. The day will give opportunities to tie band between fire industry, municipalities and University.
