A rough assessment of the Industrial & Government demand puts the requirement at over 12,000 fire and safety personnel every year. The stage is similar to the advent of the computer revolution 7 years back. Fire & Safety Engineering is a field to which all aspects of Science & Technical knowledge pertaining to fire & safety is linked. It involves study of subjects that deals with the designing of safer fire resistant equipments and plants; in depth understanding of the Science of Fire & Safety; its hazards and control measures in various associated engineering subjects; Managerial functions which aid in managing a fire fighting along with other psychological grooming required to make a self reliant Fire Engineer/ Fire Officer. Gulf is the biggest fire prone area in the world, because it has the largest storage of oil. Undoubtedly the highest budget of fire prevention and fire protection spent in the world is in the Gulf.

They also reduce the risk of fire by installing the latest of fire protection systems. As a result the largest installed base of fire protection systems in the world is the Gulf. This translates into thousands of people required in designing, installing, servicing of the fire protection systems. Any body looking for a career in computer today is merely adding to the completion, not creating a great opportunity as the initial batches would have. So Fire Engineering gives You are 10 years head start as compared to the other fields.
