The deadline for nominations for the 2024 Fire Industry Association (FIA) Councils and Board is approaching, with submissions closing at midnight on 3rd October 2024.

Member companies of the FIA are encouraged to submit their nominations before the deadline.

These nominations offer the opportunity to have a voice in various councils, which focus on specific areas within the fire safety industry.

Successful nominees will be announced at the FIA Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 7th November 2024.

FIA member companies can self-nominate or put forward an employee to serve on one of the FIA’s seven councils or on the FIA Board.

This is an opportunity to shape the future direction of fire safety standards and practices in the UK.

Areas of representation in FIA councils

The seven councils within the FIA focus on different areas of the fire safety industry.

They include the Fire Detection & Alarm Council, Services Council, Fire Extinguishing Council, Fire Risk Assessment Council, Fire Engineering Council, FRES Council (Fire and Rescue Suppliers), and Export Council.

Each council plays a vital role in representing specific industry needs, attending quarterly meetings to discuss and guide industry policies and standards.

By nominating a representative to one of these councils, member companies can ensure their voices are heard in important discussions that shape the industry’s future.
