In honor of National Engineers Week 2013 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District employees present structural engineering, alternative energy and fire protection topics to Wiesbaden Middle School students Feb. 19-21 in Wiesbaden, Germany. Brit Rockafellow and James Hogenson, district fire protection engineers, presented to 8th grade science students on the concept of the Fire Triangle. They demonstrated the requirement of oxygen, heat and fuel to create a fire. They also explained their role in determining the proper interior finishes, fire alarm system and proper exiting when working on projects for USACE. The lessons provided a forum for volunteers to come into the school and expose the students to real-world applications of what they learn in the classroom as it relates to science, technology, engineering and math or STEM.

One type of friable asbestos-containing spray-applied fireproofing, shown applied onto structural steel members in a high-rise office building.
Often hidden above suspended ceiling systems and behind wall finishes, these ACM-coated components are usually "out of sight, out of mind", until they're not.
Do you know what's above you're ceiling?
U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Austin Conner, a fire protection specialist assigned to the 673d Civil Engineer Squadron, pulls a fellow firefighter out of the water during ice rescue training at Six Mile Lake on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Jan. 8, 2023. After completing a classroom course, the JBER firefighters took to the ice to test their skills in a series of scenarios designed to simulate real-world rescues. The firefighters received certifications as ice rescue technicians having qualified in the skills needed to conduct ice rescue and recovery efforts in extreme cold-weather environments.

A landmark year in Oregon’s wildfire protection history
Passed by the 2013 Oregon Legislature with support from the governor’s office, forest landowners and other stakeholders, the Wildfire Protection Act made significant changes to Oregon’s wildfire protection funding system. It combined public investment with landowner dollars to bolster capacity to extinguish fires quickly, before they grow large, costly and damaging. In addition it brought new equity to the sharing of large-fire costs between the state and landowners, addressed affordability of protection on fire-prone eastside lands, and set the stage for future investment in innovative protection technology.
The law proved its value quickly in a summer of ongoing drought and extreme lightning activity. Within days of its ceremonial signing, thousands of firefighters and cooperators were in the field, beginning a weeks-long campaign that would mark the most severe fire season on state-protected land in more than 60 years.
Air tankers, helicopters and other resources provided through the Act helped catch more than 1,000 fires while they were still small, keeping costs and damage from growing even larger.
The ceremonial signing

Certain formulas of Mono-Kote spray-applied fireproofing contain varying amounts of asbestos and Zonolite mineral materials (Libby-amphiboles) and was installed within many thousands of buildings in significant quantities throughout the US and around the world.

In honor of National Engineers Week 2013 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District employees present structural engineering, alternative energy and fire protection topics to Wiesbaden Middle School students Feb. 19-21 in Wiesbaden, Germany. Lawrence Carabajal, a district structural engineer, presented bridge building concepts to eighth-grade science and math students. Carabajal used a hands-on approach, constructing a Leonardo bridge for students to test and recreate. Students were eager to assist in testing the capacity of the bridge by adding textbooks to determine the applied load the structure could withstand without failing or breaking. Later, the students were asked how to strengthen the bridge. The answer, provided by one engaged student, was reinforcement. Using their feet, students created an embankment to support the bridge allowing for a much greater applied load (more textbooks) than the previous bridge could hold. The demonstration provided a key lesson in tension versus compression, a concept critical to bridge design and construction. It was also an opportunity for USACE to come into the school and expose the students to real-world applications of what they learn in the classroom as it relates to science, technology, engineering and math or STEM.

Minnesota National Guard Airmen, from the 148th Fighter Wing, and 25 partnering agencies participated in a full-scale Triennial exercise at the Duluth International Airport, Duluth, Minnesota on June 2, 2022. The exercise simulated an aircraft striking a piece of large construction equipment upon touching down on the runway. Full-scale exercises like this exercise communication and response with diverse response agencies with a goal of saving lives and ensuring airport infrastructure is available for the community in a swift manner.

Today I had an exciting day, as I was asked to record another fire suppression foam system test at Canadian Forces Base Trenton. This is a process where foam retardant is released into an aircraft hangar to douse any fires that may be threatening the aircraft and structure. As this is a RCAF Air Force Base, it’s quite likely the plane being protected costs more than the building. Today’s test demonstrates the system’s ability to produce foam retardant fast enough to put the fire out. I brought multiple cameras for the event, and while my D800 was recording the video, I had my D200 handy for some still images. Here is a view that captures the day’s excitement best in my opinion. All the people pictured are involved in the project’s various construction phases in one way or another, and, like a rock concert, everyone’s recording the event for posterity.

Fire protection is very important as far as buildings steelwork is concerned ,When the temperature of a fire (both ambient & direct) reaches the required temperature for the intumescent coating to react and become active, the coating swells and expands to a carbonaceous char. The expansion (swell) of the char can be 50 to 100 times its initial applied thickness. The carbonaceous char act as an insulative, protecting the steels from collapsing.
