Recent incidents have demonstrated again that one of the worst, and scariest things that can happen at home, is a fire. Indeed whether at home or at a place of work, a fire has the potential to destroy possessions and wreak havoc, potentially turning the property and everything in it to ashes.

The recent fire at the Torch Tower in Dubai Marina, and Tamweel Tower in JLT caused a great deal of damage to property and possessions, resulted in headlines around the world and asked a great deal of questions as to who is responsible for not only fire prevention, but also for what happens after an incident like this.

In this breakfast seminar, sponsored by BBG platinum sponsor AIG, D. Stuart McCreadie a professional qualified loss control engineer gave his insights into the causes of fire and the effect it has to a home.

In his presentation, Stuart also covered the following:

•Differences between personal and commercial properties.

•UAE building design and materials used.
