The Intumescent Fire Seals Association (IFSA) held its 33rd Annual General Meeting on February 24th, 2015.
This was the first AGM without Peter Jackman, who sadly passed away in May 2014. Peter was
instrumental in founding the Association over 30 years ago, and throughout IFSA’s history he remained a
staunch and active supporter of its objectives – to educate on and promote the appropriate use of intumesce
nt fire protection systems in order to save lives. He was tireless in his efforts to represent IFSA and
express its views, and he made considerable contributions to its technical output.
Peter’s passing is a great loss to the Association and the fire protection
community as a whole. Nonetheless, IFSA continues with Peter’s vision for a fire-safe construction environment and strives to ensure that the manufacturers of intumescent sealing products have a voice of
influence in the industry. In doing so,IFSA forms part of his legacy. It was a responsibility that those
attending the meeting wished to acknowledge.
