Chemistry of Fire Comes to New Zealand


The Soicety of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) New Zealand Chapter secured funding to include a complimentary copy of the Chemistry of Fire DVD in Issue 117 of New Zealand Science Teacher Magazine. New Zealand Science Teacher is published by the New Zealand Association of Science Educators (NZASE) and is circulated to schools throughout New Zealand. This issue also focused on fire and University of Canterbury faculty member Michael Spearpoint was invited to contribute an article on fire detection and another on the human behaviour to complement articles written by other fire experts.

To find out more, see the March, 2009 Issue of the University of Canterbury Department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering Publication Fire Engineering (FE) News. Pictured above Michael Spearpoint, Roger Harrison, Jerry Chang and Charles Fleischmann prepare 5,000 Chemistry of Fire DVDs for distribution to New Zealand Science Teachers.
