The Fire Industry Association (FIA) is proud to announce the release of the 2025 edition of Fire Future Today — an annual anthology of thought leadership essays written by leading voices across the UK fire sector.

This latest edition brings together an impressive range of contributors from across the industry, including experts in fire engineering, building safety, regulation, innovation, digital transformation, sustainability, and workforce development. Their essays offer honest reflections, bold ideas, and fresh perspectives on the evolving challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Each piece in the anthology is designed not only to inform, but to inspire. With a shared commitment to improving fire safety standards across the built environment, the authors collectively shine a light on the issues that matter most — from emerging technologies and regulatory shifts, to skills development and the future of professional competence.

Ian Moore, CEO of the FIA, commented:
“It’s an absolute honour and privilege to present Fire Future Today 2025. We’re incredibly proud to provide a platform for these forward-thinking leaders to share their views. The ideas captured in this collection will help broaden our thinking, provoke meaningful dialogue, and ultimately, support the ongoing advancement of fire safety across the UK.”

Now in its latest edition, Fire Future Today continues to grow in scope and impact. It reflects the FIA’s ongoing mission to foster collaboration, raise standards, and drive innovation throughout the fire industry.
