The Clean Air Act of 1990 gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) strong powers to enforce those changing rules. The rapidly advancing compliance dates thrust power plant management decision-making into a compressed time frame. This paper reports that adjustments in fuels or emissions control systems in power plants can create unexpected fire hazards. Therefore, the fire protection community will need to develop a proactive strategy with respect to the fast-track decisions. This will ensure that fire protection is considered in the conceptual design, construction, and operation phases of the new or retrofit project.
