Fire Engineering

We are a comprehensive resource for professionals, companies, and designers working in the fire safety sector, with a specific focus on the Italian regulatory framework. Our goal is to provide tools, knowledge, and services that support safe, compliant, and performance-based fire protection solutions across all types of buildings and infrastructure.

In Italy, the application of Fire Safety Engineering is formally recognized and regulated by the “Codice di Prevenzione Incendi” (Fire Prevention Code) – Ministerial Decree of August 3, 2015 and subsequent updates. The Code introduces a performance-based approach to fire safety design, structured around risk analysis, safety objectives, and technical fire prevention strategies (strategie antincendio).

Application forms

Fire Engineering methods are typically used in one of the following contexts:

  • Performance-based design (progettazione prestazionale): where standard solutions are not applicable or sufficient.

  • Alternative solutions (soluzioni alternative): to demonstrate safety equivalence compared to the standard fire prevention strategies (S.1–S.10).

  • Complex buildings or critical infrastructures: where a detailed fire risk assessment is necessary.

  • Simulation and modeling: to support fire and smoke behavior analysis, evacuation time calculations (e.g. FDS, Pathfinder), and system optimization.

Our Services and Content

On this website, you will find:

  • Technical guides and documentation on the Italian Fire Prevention Code

  • Case studies and best practices in Fire Safety Engineering

  • Simulation tools and software tutorials (FDS, CFD, evacuation models)

  • Consulting services for performance-based fire design and fire risk assessment

  • Training and professional development courses on Italian fire safety standards
