Property insurance researchthe purpose of the property insurance reseach group is to support the mission and activities of the fire protection research foundation by providing a forum for interested members of the property insurance industry to discuss industry relevant fire protection issues and identify related research needs that could be met through research projects conducted by the foundation. The group is also a mechanism to recommend research projects to the foundation and to provide, through a fund consisting of member contributions, financial support for pirg-recommended projects undertaken by the foundation.

Expenses: $285K

Assessment of ev firefighting techniquesthe goal of this study is to improve emergency response and public safety by expanding the existing body of knowledge needed for managing ev incidents. This was accomplished through a literature review, gap analysis, and the development and execution of full-scale ev battery pack and vehicle testing, with documented findings and comprehensive video trainings.

Exposure mitigation strategiesthe goal of this project is to better understand the effectiveness of exposure mitigation strategies for fire investigators. The project aims to improve the health and safety of fire investigators by determining the effectiveness of ppe, post-fire skin-cleansing wipes, and on-scene decontamination methods for mitigating exposures to toxic fireground contaminants while conducting investigations. More specifically, the primary goals or targets of this study are to reduce fire investigator exposures to toxic fireground contaminants through (1) ensuring fire investigators have ppe that provides the necessary levels of vapor and particulate protection while also affording an essential level of thermal comfort, (2) confirming that skin cleansing wipes for on-scene decontamination of fire investigators are effective, and (3) determining the efficacy of simple on-scene wet decontamination as well as doffing and bagging gear as a means to limit secondary exposure.
