Fire

Scientists prepare to start a fire in a 24 storey towerblock to test Professor Jose Teroro’s ‘Firegrid’ technology for the very first time. Can a system of automatically opening and closings doors and windows really contain a fire?

   Jose is my fire …
   Jose is my fire engineering lecturer at Edinburgh Uni. It’s fantastic talking to him about the subject, and helping to conduct the research in to it. Edinburgh is one of the most important fire research universities in the world. (Even if he does conduct his lectures like an episode of Jerry Springer!)

   Lets hope that it isn’t long till this sort of technology starts to save lives.
