POST FIRE REVIEWS
In 2024 Dublin Fire Brigade Fire Prevention & Community Fire Safety Section
continued to carry out Post Fire reviews of building fires, these have been most
valuable and a great source of information.
A Post Fire review generally consists of the following;
• Active Fire Safety Systems review
• Passive Fire Safety Systems review
• Compartment Fire Behaviour / Fire Spread
Senior Fire Prevention Officers liaise closely with the Operations Section, who have
been on the ground of such fires, to gain a better understanding of the location of
the fire origin, how it developed and how the fire was dealt with tactically using
various firefighting techniques.
Post Fire reviews provide great learning outcomes for future training within all
sections of Dublin Fire Brigade.
Key learning outcomes from such post fire reviews in 2024 are as follows:
• Importance of Implementing Robust Fire Safety Management Plans
• Importance of maintaining the Fire Detection and Alarm System.
• Ensuring Fire Doors are kept shut.
• Fire risks associated with Lithium Ion Batteries
• Effectiveness of sprinklers
