BFRL’s Evans Receives Nelson Service Award from Society of Fire Protection Engineers

David Evans of the Fire Research Division recently received the Harold E. Nelson Service Award from the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). The purpose of the Harold E. Nelson Award is to recognize the dedicated and inspired service to the ideals and goals of the society. Throughout Evan’s distinguished research career in BFRL, his focus has been on applying fire science to solve practical fire protection problems. He developed the first detector actuation model, DETACT, and has made critical advances in the understanding and modeling of fire sprinkler performance. He has served SFPE for more than 20 years in various capacities ranging from membership in the editorial board of the Journal of Fire Protection Engineering, other scientific journals, and the SFPE Education Committee, to long service on the SFPE Board of Directors, culminating in his presidency of the society in 1999. In 1998, Evans led the society in the development of a strategic plan that fundamentally changed its direction toward meeting the needs of the practicing fire protection engineer.
