About Fire Engineering
Fire is one of the simplest form of energy known to man, ever since stone age, when man learnt to use it, first time ever it has been used for a variety of purposes. The analysis of major fires, which broke out in buildings, the main causes finally identified, were due to electrical short circuit/ overheating of electrical equipment and open flame/ unextinguished smoking materials. In industrial buildings, in addition to these sparks due to electricity/ impact/ friction and poor housekeeping are also identified as causes of major fire hazards. So while planning for the fire prevention measures for any occupancy it is necessary to study in details the possibilities of fire due to all these sources and the preventive measures required. At last we know the fact that many valuable lives &crores of rupees of material are lost in fire accidents all over the world.
This has created demand of trained fire & safety engineers & fighters. This has also created wide business potential as well as growth in overall fire protection industry. Overall, the demand of highly trained Fire Protecting Engineers, encouraged to VCFESM presenting fire & safety engineering to join the new profession.
About Safety Engineering
Safety professionals play an important role in the safety of all forms of Transportation e.g. Railroads, Aviation, Shipping Corporations, Oil & Gas Pipelines, Chemical Plants and many Engineering Industries involves the identification, Evaluation, and control of hazards in man-machine system (Products, machines, Equipment and facilities) that contain a potential to cause injury to people or damage property. Safety management consists of safety programme elements, policies, and procedures, that manage the conduct of safety activity. Safety Engineering and Safety Management make up the integrated whole. While Safety Engineering can be viewed as being the administrative software side of such prevention. Safety Management provides the structure within which the techniques of safety engineering are applied.
The purpose of this course is to provide the students with an understanding of industrial safety and accident prevention. By this course, the student will gain knowledge of hazards in work place, management liability and play a role in risk reduction. The educational goal of VCFESM is to introduce students to the technical field in regard to prevent and reduce injuries or accidents in work places, because it directly or indirectly threatens mankind for a right to live for mankind. Another goal is to contribute to the industry and development of the country and promotion of citizens welfare in accordance with education of special engineers. Industrial safety engineering concerned with preventing accidents and minimizing their consequences as well as with reduction of stress and injury to human being at the work place. Another important aspect is to minimize the property damage as chemical, electrical, mechanical, architectural or safety engineer. Therefore, the trends in the recent research is technical means for effectively interfacing operations on the Man to Machine to Machine System.
About Environmental Engineering
Industries worldwide are trying to either eliminate the release of materials that can harm the public or damage the environment, or recover and recycle excess materials for environmental conservation. An environmental safety officer can help in regulating these processes. The officer should have extensive knowledge of environmental standards, laws and regulations.
Environment at problems exist in many countries and industries. Engineers may work in such diverse industries as Water Supply and Drainage, Irrigation, Mining, Power and Petrochemical and other Heavy Industries.
Demand for professionals in the area of industrial hygiene - the scientists, engineers, and others who grapple with a variety of workplace and community health issues Is rising, according to those working in the field. Their responsibilities can include a range of activities, such ascleaningupoil, chemical leaks, measuring air samples and designing safer manufacturing plants. Compensation for those in the field has been high, reflecting the increasing emphasis placed by government, industry and the public on improving the environment, according to a recently released surveys.
Training
Training and Technical Visits
To expose fire engineering and safety management students to new technologies and practical aspects associated with it, AMCFESM is arranging practical and training programs apart from curriculum. AMCFESM also arranges various technical visits at high risk places like Yavatmal,Nagpur, Chandrapur, Latur Airport, various Ship Yards at Goa, Five Star Hotels like Rama International, etc. Students are exposed to all fire Equipments & Appliances, Smoke Heat & Fire Alarm Systems, Care and Maintenance of Fire Extinguisher, Testing & Installation of Fire Protection system etc.

Scope of Course
Many job opportunities are available in just above every type of industries like as Airports Airlines, Oil Refineries, Railways, Merchant Navy, Chemical & Mechanical Industry, Five Star Hotel, Oil & Gas plant, Tourism, Steel Plant, Power & Irrigation Sector, Ocean, Space, Municipal Corporation, Govt. & Private Sectors etc.
Students investing their time in this emerging industry are creating a great career opportunity for themselves, in addition to getting a head start over job seekers in other fields.
Fire engineers and job openings in the Government Fire Service, Architectural and Building Design, Insurance Assessment Project Management, Aircraft Industry, Refiner Industrial Processing and in many where the possibility of fire or combustion represents a hazard with increasing urbanization, the use of electrical appliances, office automation, etc.
The increasing number of fire disasters in Refineries, Petrochemical Plants, Industries other strategic places is causing tragic loss of precious lives and large scale destruction of property. This confirms the necessity for Fire Fighting Engineers.

Attachment Training
Our students undergo Practical Attachment Training in the leading fire service, chemical complexes like Rashtriya Chemical Fertilizers ,Thermal Power stations like Parali and Municipal Corporation fire training schools like Latur. During this training, students get real job experience by working along with fire service personnel and come to know the challenge in this task while attending the live fire fighting and rescue calls.
At Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Thal, , students got experience of working at a major chemical complex and learnt complexities while managing the risk of hazardous, flammable and toxic chemicals. Our student’s attend fire and emergency calls of highly complex nature at this complex.
At MSEB Thermal Power station Parali, students get experience of working at a major thermal power generating station and learnt the intercity while managing the risk of hazardous risk at such plants like coal, Hydrogen, high pressure equipment, high voltage electrical equipment. Our students attend fire and emergency calls hazardous substances at this station.
