Fire protection has advanced dramatically over the past decade, responding to emerging industries, new hazards, and evolving technologies. This program highlights ten significant innovations and code developments that didn’t exist ten years ago—from protection criteria for distilleries and cannabis facilities to PFAS-free foams, lithium-ion storage safety, and remote inspections. Participants will explore how these solutions emerged, why they were needed, and how they are transforming today’s fire protection strategies for both designers and code officials.
