Institution of Fire Engineers
The Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) is a global professional membership body for those in the fire sector that seek to increase their knowledge, professional recognition and understanding of fire through a global discourse.
The IFE has over 10,000 members around the world.
IFE members represent the whole spectrum of the fire sector and are involved in the study of fire dynamics, consultations with governments on fire safety legislation and regulations, structural fire protection, fire insurance and arson investigation, behaviour pattern of persons faced with emergencies, fire detection and alarm systems, fire appliances and automatic fire fighting systems.
Alongside providing its own membership grades, the IFE is a Professional Engineering Institution (PEI) and has been a licensed member of the Engineering Council since 2007. This allows the IFE to register those members that meet the necessary criteria as Chartered Engineers (CEng), Incorporated Engineers (IEng) or Engineering Technicians (EngTech). If individuals have recently graduated and want recognition of their qualifications while they build their experience as a fire engineer, they could become an Interim registrant with the IFE.
A number of professional panels, committees and technical working groups underpin the work of the IFE. IFE Special Interest Groups (SIGS) act as a forum for exchanging ideas and raising standards. They cover a variety of topics, including Fire Modelling, Heritage Buildings, Transport, Fire Investigation and Rescue Engineering.
The IFE has different membership types to suit anyone interested in, studying or working in fire engineering, with graded memberships designed to recognise fire sector professionals at different stages of their career:
Affiliate Individual (no post-nominal) – Affiliate Individual membership is available to anyone with an interest in fire engineering but that have not met the requirements of a membership grade.
Student (no post-nominal) – The Student membership is available at a discounted rate for students of fire related studies. Student membership requires proof of current study and is limited to a maximum of five years. Students who are studying full time will be entitled to free membership, providing they provide evidence of current academic year course enrolment.
