What it's like to work with us

Together, we develop and strengthen both emergency preparedness and fire prevention efforts, fully in line with the vision of Trøndelag Fire and Rescue Service: Safety for everyone – every day!»

— Anna-Karin Hermansen, Trøndelag Fire and Rescue Service IKS

«When we work with technical experts, they need to be highly skilled in their field, communicate clearly, and manage projects well. They also need to be self-driven and have strong integrity. RISE Fire Research has delivered on all of these.»

— Trond Hatland, Partner at Thommessen

«As a startup company, it is important to have flexible partners. Things and plans change quickly, and our partners must be able to adapt as well. RISE Fire Research has supported us very well and contributed with strong solutions, including when special adaptations for testing were required.»
