IFSJ is proud to once again serve as the Official Strategic Media Partner for the event. Visit us at stand 2-H38; we look forward to connecting with you at the show. We had the pleasure of speaking with Edward Barnes, Chief Technical Officer at Reacton Fire Suppression for this month’s Head to Head. In our discussion, Ed reflects on the work that goes into creating accessible, high-quality systems, outlining the role of Reacton’s dedicated metrology lab, touches on plans for the EMEA region and explains why embracing trial and error drives meaningful improvement. In our Special Report, produced in collaboration with MSA - The Safety Company, we focus on Firefighting Equipment. Jason Wells, MSA Vice President of EMEA Business, talks about regional investments and connected solutions, while Danny Stranks, MSA Connected Services and Solutions Sales Manager, highlights how these technologies strengthen compliance and safety on a global scale. Special highlights in this issue include an exclusive piece from Dubai Civil Defence H.Q. and Expert Insight from ICC’s Vice President Beth Tubbs and Regional Director Mohamed Ahmed Amer, M.Sc. on building resilience, fire safety and sustainable practices in the MENA region. Elsewhere in the magazine, we bring together features on better detection methods, early wildfire prevention and car park fire safety, along with business updates, fire engineering insights, suppression strategies, search and rescue innovations and more. Finally, read all about the return of the IFSJ Leaders in Fire & Safety Conference 2025, set for 8 May at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Dubai Marina, held in partnership with Britannia Fire Ltd.
