June 14 marked the third anniversary of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. As an organization, and as individuals, all have spent the last few days reflecting deeply on the Grenfell Tower disaster where 72 people tragically lost their lives and countless other lives changed forever.

‘The Bishop of Kensington, Graham Tomlin, said commemorating the fire has been "quite a challenge" because of coronavirus.

Remembering Grenfell

Yet thousands of people illuminated their rooms and houses green for Grenfell on June 14th to remember those who lost their life. By illuminating their home green thousands showed the nation they're still united for change & justice.

"Remembering is crucial because if we forget then we repeat the mistakes of the past," he said.

Since the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the FIA has responded to the call for the various organizations within the fire safety industry to resolving the problems that clearly exist within the fire safety and construction industry in order to ensure that preventable tragedies such as the Grenfell Tower fire never happen again.

More competent workforce

As a result, the FIA have had significant input on the post-Grenfell Hackitt report and the recommendations which have gone back to government via the competency steering group.

The FIA is dedicated to advance the fire industry to be a better, safer and more competent workforce by providing training to fire safety professionals up and down the country - as well as the close work with the government.
