A degree in fire engineering makes one eligible for the management
cadre in Fire Service in the government or public sector. Fire engineers have
always been in great demand by corporations, educational institutions, consulting
firms and government bodies around the world. They are employed with the fire
prevention departments in large companies and they are also recruited by the
fire brigades. When ther
are instances of fire accidents, fire engineers are called upon to assess
the extent of the damage, investigate the cause of the fire, the efficiency
of equipment installed and so on.
There is a vast scope of employment chances for
fire engineers in large manufacturing organizations particularly those like petroleum refineries,
petrochemicals and plastic, fertilizers, textiles, LPG and LNG handling and
bottling plants, chemicals and other plants where there are risks of fire. Fire engineers are also employed by fire departments of
local government bodies, insurance companies, architectural and building design,
project management, aircraft industry, industrial processing, and any area of safety where the possibility of fire or combustion
represents a hazard. Fire engineers may also work as
surveyors in insurance companies.
