Grenfell Tower & Global Fire Protection of High-rises: A First Responder / AHJ perspective with Chris Conroy
On the Podcast this month is our multi-faceted colleague and mentor, Christopher Conroy, who joins us to discuss his wide-ranging career in fire protection... from firefighter, to code reviewer, to fire protection consultant and everything above, beyond, and in-between - Mr. Conroy has more experience than most and the most amazing stories to boot!
Ben and Kelly, Memer-in-Chief, chat with Chris about the Grenfell Tower fire that was recently released as a Netflix documentary coinciding with the release of the final Public Inquiry Report that attempts to sort out what when wrong and why.
In this episode, recorded on 9/11, we cover a broad range of perspectives and cultural differences surrounding the fire protection response to high-rise fires and their aftermath, affects on regulations, and the resulting attention they elicit which drives real change.
