International commercial property insurer FM Global has announced a partnership with the Indonesian Fire & Rescue Foundation (IFRF) that aims to improve property protection and resilience against fire events in Indonesia. Indonesia ranks 101 out of 130 countries and territories for 'fire risk quality' in FM Global's 2019 Resilience Index, which annually measures the resilience of countries' business environments. Under the agreement, FM Global will translate its fire- and sprinkler-related Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets into Bahasa, Indonesia for distribution by the IFRF across Indonesia's national fire services network. The data sheets include the company's property loss prevention engineering guidelines.

The initiative gives Indonesian fire professionals access to FM Global's extensive knowledge of fire-based loss prevention that includes unique solutions to prevent, control and mitigate property losses through the application of sprinkler systems. The data sheets support the work of FM Global's International Codes and Standards Group that engages with building and fire code organizations around the world to elevate the quality of fire codes and standards to help properties promote resilience. The IFRF is arranging accreditation and certification for the national training body for fire and life safety management for Fire Safety Managers. It is also responsible for training, international certification and standards adoption in cooperation with the Indonesia Fire Services Association, which represents 582 fire chiefs and their respective fire services with approximately 36,000 members.
