Vehicle fires may be rare, however, fires can escalate quickly due to the presence of flammable fluids, tightly parked cars, and, increasingly, electric vehicle batteries.
For facility managers, this could be a significant emergency as their parking structure may have been designed without a sprinkler system.
Join John Denhardt, vice president of engineering and technical services for the American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) and upcoming NFMT Remix speaker in our next Ask the Expert session.
Denhardt can address sprinkler system design and compliance with NFPA standards, as well as recent changes in regulations, and challenges associated with modern vehicle hazards.
The Q&A takes place on Aug. 22 at 9 a.m. EST. Log in or join fnPrime to join the discussion.
Denhardt will be presenting the session "Sprinkler Protection for Parking Structures" at NFMT Remix in Orlando on Oct. 16.
