“…The high-risk areas can be designed for using the "cabin" or "island" strategies. For exemplary projects which have made use of these strategies, the reader is encouraged to consult case studies on the Beijing South Railway Station (Carfrae et al 2011) and the Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco (Rini et al 2011). …”

The goal of fire safety engineering (FSE) is to design a strategy that meets human safety and property protection goals with an optimized solution. In comparison to international practice, Canada could be considered highly underdeveloped in a technical perspective of performance versus prescription. In Canada, FSE is a subdivision within civil and mechanical engineering, rather than treated as a profession in and of itself. With a requirement for more complex infrastructure to meet Canadian societal needs, there is stimulus that is fostering a demand to create professionals educated with FSE skill sets. This literary study therefore aims to present a state-of-the-art review of the design practice of FSE in Canada and abroad with explicit focus on performance-based fire design for the Canadian practitioner who seeks to develop their expertise in this subject.
