MICHAEL REICK
Prof. Dr.-Ing.; Regional Fire Director
Michael is a regional director for the fire service in Göppingen, Germany. As an active fire chief and with his background in fire safety engineering and
science he is especially interested in the interaction between these disciplines - the interconnection between fire safety and fire fighting. As the representative for the German Fire Brigade Association he works in numerous working groups for fire safety in the built environment.
In his postdoc study in 2004 Michael researched the fundamentals of
stairway protection regarding smoke spread while firefighers stretch hoses
and force doors. His basis is the knowledge of fire dynmaics and fire
ventilation combined with fire fighting skills based on fireground experience
and live fire training. With two decades of experience and research in this
basic contradiction he contributes to improve policies of fire services –
especially with the invention of the portable smoke blocking device and the
implementation in standard operational procedures of fire services all over
Europe and also worldwide.
