NFEC Fire Safety Seminar 2018
The National Fire and Civil Emergency Preparedness Council (NFEC) held its annual Fire Safety Seminar at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre on 21st August. Over a thousand participants took part in the seminar, which included presentations, workshops and a panel discussion. Notably, the event featured the launch of the SCDF 2018 Fire Code, presided over by guest of honour Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of National Development, Ms Sun Xueling and Singapore Civil Defence Force Commissioner Eric Yap.
AETOS Chief Operating Officer Mr Jackson Lim also gave a presentation on the use of visual technologies for enhancing frontline response to emergencies during the seminar. He emphasized the usefulness of video analytics-based systems when dealing with fires, given their ability to provide visual confirmation and real-time verification.
Our AETOS personnel were present at the exhibition hall to promote our Intelligent Fire Detection System (IFDS), which uses video analytics and image processing technology to detect fires at their incipient stages. Easily integrated into any existing CCTV infrastructure and designed to complement traditional systems such as smoke and heat detectors, the IFDS is classified as a video image fire detection system by the SCDF. Such systems have been made compulsory for certain types of unmanned buildings in a new provision in the Fire Code.
