The Pentagon, Fire and Life Safety — Ten Years Later
William J. Fries III, Fire Marshal & Supervising Fire Protection Engineer, U.S. Department of Defense
Ariam C. Kloehn, Deputy Fire Marshal & Fire Protection Engineer, U.S. Department of Defense
Tuesday, June 11, 8:00 – 9:00 am

Fire protection and life safety features have significantly changed at the Pentagon during the ten plus years since the 9/11 terrorist attack on the building and its occupants. This session will discuss the changes made to enhance passive and active protection and life safety systems for the world’s largest office building. A project of this magnitude has many partners, unique problems, and “politics”. Case study examples of such will be shared, as well as the application and use of international building codes, NFPA standards, DoD Uniform Facilities Criteria, and code “plus” additions to reach solutions.
