Overview

During the Fire Science program at University of New Haven, you’ll also develop a deep appreciation of the hazards, not only to human lives, but also to entire businesses. Damage to equipment and buildings can slow down or even kill a business, having a devastating economic impact on both owners and workers.

Acquire top-notch skills in state-of-the-art fire laboratories.

Out of the classroom and inside our labs, you’ll get the hands-on experience that lets you hit the ground running when you start your career. Modern and well equipped, the labs replicate what happens in real-world situations. You’ll work in:

The Fire Dynamics Laboratory. Here, you’ll experiment with burning metals and other materials. See first-hand how certain materials ignite and how they burn as well as how they react with various extinguishing agents.

The Fire Detection/Alarm Laboratory. We updated this cutting-edge facility in 2010 to the newly updated NFPA alarm codes. You’ll use it to experiment and understand the details of how a code-compliant alarm system operates.

The Sprinkler Laboratory. This is where you’ll have the chance to reset a sprinkler system, trip the valve, and flow water out of whichever head you choose – sidewall, pendant, upright, or deluge-style head.
