Fire Safety for the Evolving World

I'm Patrick Durham, Captain at Station 4 in the Troy Fire Department, Michigan, and a mechanical engineer specializing in lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle safety.

My mission is to empower firefighters, first responders, and organizations with the knowledge and skills to safely navigate the challenges posed by electric vehicles, micromobility devices, and battery energy storage systems.

With over 18 years of hands-on firefighting experience and a background in designing innovative EV battery structures, I offer a unique perspective that bridges the gap between engineering and fireground response.

Here, you'll find training-focused content, real-world incident analysis, and practical advice tailored to enhance fire safety in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Through collaborations with organizations like FSRI, SAE, and IAFC, I stay at the forefront of industry advancements to bring you actionable insights that make a difference.
