Ian recorded the following video for the 2008 Fire and Rescue Conference in Liverpool. The conference wished to mark Ian's contribution to fire safety as the conference celebrated the 20th anniversary of regulations designed to make foam furniture safe. The Furniture & Fire Safety Regulations 1988 have had a dramatic effect:

  • 14,000 lives saved
  • 100,000 injuries prevented
  • millions of smoke alarms installed in homes across the country
  • the safest foam furniture in Europe

Unfortunately Ian was unable to attend in person and therefore recorded this video which was played to the conference. Ian led the campaign to end the use of the killer foam which had claimed the lives of thousands of people.
