PLC Fire Safety Solutions (PLC) is honored to have been the host sponsor of the 3rd International Conference on Fire Safety and Emergency Preparedness (FSEP) in Ottawa. The bi-annual conference took place at The Westin Ottawa from October 27 to October 30th, 2019. This year FSEP teamed up with the 16th International Seminar on Fire Safety in Nuclear Power Plants and Installations (SMiRT), running both conferences together in parallel. Combining both FSEP & SMiRT provided exceptional value and opportunity for exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees to attend both conferences at the same time.

The conference brought together a diverse array of stakeholders within the fire safety community to network and share in the latest advancements in the important areas of fire safety, emergency preparedness and mechanisms of emergency management. PLC staff participated in many aspects of the conference including, technical presentations, chairing of technical presentations, exhibitor booth, and conference organizing committee.
