What is FIG UK?The Fire Information Group (UK), commonly known as FIG (UK), is an information exchange co-operative in the fire and loss prevention field. The FIG membership is made up of information managers, information officers, librarians, researchers and other interested parties from organisations that include the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA), the Fire Service College, BRE Ltd, Forensic Science Service and the Fire Protection Association. FIG also has members in fire brigades, the construction industry and consultancies. In addition FIG is associated with the UK Construction Industry Information Group (CIIG). FIG was formed in 1988 and meets every six months to discuss new developments in members' areas of expertise. More general topics such as copyright issues and electronic forms of information are also discussed. A newsletter and minutes are produced after each meeting. A leaflet (in PDF format) is available for members to access and print off as required for conferences and events. |
