Fire Safety Innovation in the Spotlight as Industry Expert Paul Trew Speaks Out on Evolving Fire Risk

Comments from Paul Trew, Technical Director at the Institution of Fire Engineers, on wildfire resilience and battery related fire hazards are highlighting the need for more adaptive fire safety solutions.

Colorado, United States, 7th Aug 2026 -- Recent public comments from Paul Trew, Technical Director at the Institution of Fire Engineers, are putting a spotlight on just how much fire risk has changed in recent years, and why LifeSafe Technologies believes the industry needs to keep pace. Trews remarks on wildfire resilience, paired with his earlier comments on battery related fire hazards, echo something LifeSafe has been saying for some time: fire safety needs to modernise alongside the risks it is meant to address. LifeSafe Holdings is a fire safety technology company built around that idea, and its consumer facing brand carries the same message, that of protecting lives through modern fire safety solutions.

Trews comments came by way of a LinkedIn post from the Institution of Fire Engineers, which shared his thoughts on the growing scale and complexity of wildfire risk. His message centred on the need for stronger collaboration, greater innovation, better preparedness and long term resilience planning, across governments, fire and rescue services, communities and industry alike. It is a message that resonates well beyond wildfires too, as electrification and a broader mix of risk environments continue to reshape how fire safety products are evaluated and deployed.

This is not the first time Trew has spoken directly about LifeSafes work. Back in 2023, at LifeSafes appearance at The Emergency Services Show, he offered this endorsement: The growing use of lithium-ion powered devices and the increasing number of challenging fire incidents requires new solutions and thinking. We are delighted to be joined at this years event by LifeSafe who are showcasing their highly innovative new Thermal Runaway Fluid. That statement still stands as a meaningful vote of confidence from within the sector in LifeSafes specialist fire suppression technology.

That focus shows up clearly in LifeSafes product line. Its StaySafe All-in-1 fire extinguisher, a compact device built to handle multiple fire types including electrical and lithium-ion battery fires, is designed for use across homes, vehicles, marine settings and workplaces alike, reflecting just how varied todays fire risks have become.

The companys ambitions do not stop at the consumer level. LifeSafes professional facing materials point to a broader strategy centred on next generation extinguishing fluids and specialist suppression technology built for more demanding, complex scenarios, an approach that has become increasingly relevant as fire professionals grapple with new risks tied to batteries, electrical systems and evolving operational environments.

Trews background adds real weight to his comments. He currently serves as Technical Director at the Institution of Fire Engineers, where he helps shape the organisations technical knowledge and guidance. Before that role, he worked as the IFEs Technical Advisor, leading its work on electric vehicles and emerging technologies, and prior to that, he held the position of Deputy Assistant Commissioner and Head of Fire Safety at London Fire Brigade.

For LifeSafe, Trews commentary speaks to something bigger than any one product. It reinforces a view gaining traction across the industry, that traditional fire safety approaches, on their own, are not enough to keep up with new materials, new power sources and increasingly complicated incident scenarios. As LifeSafe continues investing in product development and specialist fluid technology, it is positioning itself squarely within a market being shaped by both technical necessity and rising public safety expectations.

More information on LifeSafe Technologies, including its full product range and fire suppression technology platform, is available on the companys consumer and corporate websites.
