Conducting Explosion Risk Surveys: Case Studies - Alison Brackett, P.E. (Zo
 om Only)
Fire Protection Engineering Department\nFPE SEMINAR SERIES\nGuest Lecture FP 575:
  Explosion Protection Engineering\nConducting Explosion Risk Surveys: Case
  Studies\nAlison Brackett, P.E.\nFriday, March 20, 2026\n11:00 – 12:30 p
 m EST\nhttps://wpi.zoom.us/j/97198505856\nNote: Zoom Only\nAlison Brackett
  is the Founder and Principal Engineer for Triangle Fire Consultants (TFC)
 , a fire protection engineering consulting firm serving an extensive clien
 t list of industrial, commercial, municipal, and private clients throughou
 t the New England region. She obtained her BS in Aerospace Engineering and
  MS in Mechanical Engineering from Syracuse University and prior to foundi
 ng TFC, Ms. Brackett worked as a wind tunnel test and simulation engineer 
 for Raytheon in the Missile Systems Division. She transitioned to working 
 as a fire protection consultant in 2006 and she currently holds FPE licens
 ure in MA, ME, NH, and VT.\nThrough her consulting firm and as a Senior Co
 nsultant with TÜV SÜD Global Risk, Ms. Brackett is sought after for her 
 expertise on projects involving lithium ion battery storage and use evalua
 tions, ignitable liquid storage and use, passive fire protection managemen
 t through building compartmentation and careful selection of construction 
 products, and thorough process safety evaluations for a large variety of i
 ndustrial conditions. Ms. Brackett is also fully engaged in protecting the
  people in the communities she’s involved in as evidenced by her commitm
 ent to strategic building and fire code compliance and by her involvement 
 in municipal fire and emergency services at all levels since 1995.\nBeliev
 ing that exposure to real-life case studies in industry makes us all bette
 r engineers, she is grateful for the opportunity to engage in discussions 
 with students on the topic of Conducting Explosion Risk Surveys as part of
  this guest lecture series.\nThis lecture is offered as part of FP 575 (Ex
 plosion Protection Engineering) taught by Prof. Lorenz Boeck for the Explo
 sion Protection Engineering (XPE) – A new and exciting interdisciplinary
  MS program by Aerospace, Chemical Civil, Fire Protection, and Mechanical 
 Engineering at WPI.\nhttps://www.wpi.edu/academics/study/master-science-ex
