Watch Episode The other side of fire engineering with Matt Booth - Episode #4

In this episode, Matt Booth joins host Dan Fogarty to talk through his journey into fire safety engineering, from a mechanical engineering degree and early product side experience with fire rated glazing and curtain systems, to his current role leading the Jensen Hughes ACT team. That practical background shapes the way he approaches engineering today, thinking beyond code compliance.

The conversation covers the evolving role of fire safety engineers in the construction industry, the advantage of Jensen Hughes' multidisciplinary structure, and Matt's focus on building strong consultants who communicate as well as they engineer. He also shares a fun fire fact to close: in many fire events, smoke poses a greater risk to life than the fire itself.
