READ MORE What are the current supply chain issues affecting the fire and security industry? IFSEC Global Supply chains provide companies with the certainty that raw materials and components will be continually available to ensure the smooth production goods. In this article, Euralarm looks at current issues within the supply chain, and the repercussions those problems are having on the fire and security industry. READ MORE Prediction, validation, and uncertainties of a nation-wide post-fire soil erosion risk assessment in Portugal Nature Wildfires are a recurrent and increasing threat in mainland Portugal, where over 4.5 million hectares of forests and scrublands have burned over the last 38 years. These fire-affected landscapes have suffered an intensification of soil erosion processes, which can negatively affect soil carbon storage, reduce fertility and forest productivity, and can become a source of pollutants. READ MORE Fire dies down on ship carrying luxury cars, with little left to burn Reuters A fire which swept through a cargo ship carrying thousands of luxury cars and adrift off the coast of Portugal's Azores islands has lost its intensity, probably because there is little left to burn, a port official said. READ MORE How much of a fire risk are electric vehicles? Autocar As more electric cars take to UK roads, attention is turning to their safety, in particular fire safety. No matter that petrol and diesel cars can catch fire and many of them do (remember the spate of Vauxhall Zafira fires not so long ago?), an electric vehicle fire (there were 54 in London in 2019) commands a lot more attention.
