12. LASTFIRE members participate in an International forum for tank Fire Hazard Management and related issues and receive the latest technical information on fire prevention, detection, protection and response measures, as well as that relating to international codes and standards. These include the latest foam standards and Fire Hazard Management codes of practice. Through LASTFIRE, members also actively participate in the latest research into extreme tank fire events such as Boilover, and current issues such as fires in internal floating roof tanks.
