Comments from Paul Trew, Technical Director at the Institution of Fire Engineers, on wildfire resilience and battery related fire hazards are highlighting the need for more adaptive fire safety solutions.

Colorado, United States, 7th Aug 2026 — Recent public comments from Paul Trew, Technical Director at the Institution of Fire Engineers, are putting a spotlight on just how much fire risk has changed in recent years, and why LifeSafe Technologies believes the industry needs to keep pace. Trew’s remarks on wildfire resilience, paired with his earlier comments on battery related fire hazards, echo something LifeSafe has been saying for some time: fire safety needs to modernise alongside the risks it is meant to address. LifeSafe Holdings is a fire safety technology company built around that idea, and its consumer facing brand carries the same message, that of protecting lives through modern fire safety solutions.

Trew’s comments came by way of a LinkedIn post from the Institution of Fire Engineers, which shared his thoughts on the growing scale and complexity of wildfire risk. His message centred on the need for stronger collaboration, greater innovation, better preparedness and long term resilience planning, across governments, fire and rescue services, communities and industry alike. It is a message that resonates well beyond wildfires too, as electrification and a broader mix of risk environments continue to reshape how fire safety products are evaluated and deployed.

This is not the first time Trew has spoken directly about LifeSafe’s work. Back in 2023, at LifeSafe’s appearance at The Emergency Services Show, he offered this endorsement: “The growing use of lithium-ion powered devices and the increasing number of challenging fire incidents requires new solutions and thinking. We are delighted to be joined at this year’s event by LifeSafe who are showcasing their highly innovative new Thermal Runaway Fluid.” That statement still stands as a meaningful vote of confidence from within the sector in LifeSafe’s specialist fire suppression technology.

That focus shows up clearly in LifeSafe’s product line. Its StaySafe All-in-1 fire extinguisher, a compact device built to handle multiple fire types including electrical and lithium-ion battery fires, is designed for use across homes, vehicles, marine settings and workplaces alike, reflecting just how varied today’s fire risks have become.

The company’s ambitions do not stop at the consumer level. LifeSafe’s professional facing materials point to a broader strategy centred on next generation extinguishing fluids and specialist suppression technology built for more demanding, complex scenarios, an approach that has become increasingly relevant as fire professionals grapple with new risks tied to batteries, electrical systems and evolving operational environments.

Trew’s background adds real weight to his comments. He currently serves as Technical Director at the Institution of Fire Engineers, where he helps shape the organisation’s technical knowledge and guidance. Before that role, he worked as the IFE’s Technical Advisor, leading its work on electric vehicles and emerging technologies, and prior to that, he held the position of Deputy Assistant Commissioner and Head of Fire Safety at London Fire Brigade.

For LifeSafe, Trew’s commentary speaks to something bigger than any one product. It reinforces a view gaining traction across the industry, that traditional fire safety approaches, on their own, are not enough to keep up with new materials, new power sources and increasingly complicated incident scenarios. As LifeSafe continues investing in product development and specialist fluid technology, it is positioning itself squarely within a market being shaped by both technical necessity and rising public safety expectations.

More information on LifeSafe Technologies, including its full product range and fire suppression technology platform, is available on the company’s consumer and corporate websites.

A new kind of prop firm where traders prove their skills risk-free, with no personal funds on the line, and earn up to 90% of the profits when they pass.

Volt Funded today opened to new traders around the world. Learn more at voltfunded.com. The firm offers a new kind of prop trading: instead of risking their own savings, traders use a simulated account to prove their skills. Those who pass the challenge earn the chance to make real payouts, without their own money ever being on the line.

Starting out in trading can feel risky and out of reach. Many people worry about losing their savings before they ever learn how it works. Volt Funded was built to take that fear away, giving new traders a safe place to learn, clear rules to follow, and the chance to earn real money once they prove they can trade.

Trading Education and Evaluation

Volt Funded is on a mission to make trading something anyone can learn safely. The firm teaches a simple, step-by-step way to trade, with built-in limits that protect traders along the way. Its vision is a world where no one has to risk their own savings to find out if they can trade, a world where learning is safe and skill gets rewarded.

Start Safely: Rules That Protect Traders

At Volt Funded, trader safety comes first. The firm does not hand traders money and leave them to guess. It provides a clear plan from day one.

Traders always know their limits. Safe loss limits stop them from losing too much. Simple rules keep them on track. Clear goals show them exactly what to aim for.

Profit Sharing Model

Once traders show they can follow the rules, they earn a funded account with up to $100,000 to trade with. This is simulated capital, but the profits earned are real, and traders keep 90% of them.

There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no timer rushing trades. Traders can take their time and trade the right way. If they become profitable, Volt Funded pays out every two weeks.

Every account also comes with a simple, reliable platform, low trading costs, and friendly support in many languages, so trading feels easy from the very first day.

Trader Feedback

Traders who have completed the challenge and reached a funded account have been sharing their experience directly, from working through the rules to receiving their first payout. See their stories on Instagram, or join the conversation on Discord.

Launch Promotion

To mark its global launch, Volt Funded is giving every new trader 30% off their first challenge with the code TRYVOLT. Those who pass receive their next challenge free.

A challenge is simply a short test that shows a trader can follow the rules. It is the easiest, lowest-cost way to begin. Traders can sign up at voltfunded.com/signup.

No one needs a fortune to start, only the willingness to learn the right way. For new traders, the journey begins with a single challenge.

MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has listed five new Ondo tokenized stock trading pairs on Spot, expanding user access to stocks spanning AI infrastructure, semiconductors, enterprise software and rare earth materials.

The new pairs are AXTION/USDT (AXT Inc), AEHRON/USDT (Aehr Test Systems), APLDON/USDT (Applied Digital), USARON/USDT (USA Rare Earth) and SAPON/USDT (SAP SE). The pairs went live on Spot on August 6, 2026, at 13:30 (UTC), with deposits now open. Withdrawals will open on August 7, 2026, at 13:30 (UTC).

Report data jointly published by MEXC and CoinGecko shows that demand for stock-related products on crypto exchanges rose notably in 2026. U.S. stock trading volume across six major centralized exchanges climbed 337.4% month over month in June to $189.84 billion, representing 48.3% of total TradFi volume and overtaking precious metals as the largest traditional-asset category for the first time. Over the same period, MEXC’s own monthly TradFi volume expanded roughly 59-fold, reaching $91.12 billion in May, while the platform ranked second by monthly market share among the six exchanges tracked for five consecutive months.

The report also found that crypto-native users are increasingly moving into traditional-asset trading. In contrast, some users with a traditional-finance background have begun shifting their trading activity to crypto exchanges, driven by round-the-clock access, lower barriers to entry, faster execution, and the ability to manage multiple asset classes from a single account. In response to this trend, MEXC has continued to expand its U.S. stock asset coverage, giving users worldwide a more efficient, lower-barrier, one-stop trading experience.

This listing marks the 27th batch of tokenized stock pairs introduced through MEXC’s collaboration with Ondo. Ondo tokenized stocks allow retail and institutional users outside the United States to instantly mint and redeem tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs 24 hours a day, five days a week. MEXC will continue to work with Ondo to bring users broader on-chain access to traditional securities.

In addition, MEXC has launched MEXC 0808: Stock Season, its annual brand event centered on “0 Fees” and “Infinite Opportunities”, running from August 8 to August 28 (UTC). Early bird registration is now open. During the event, MEXC will waive trading fees on Stock Futures, Tokenized Stocks and RealStocks. More details are available on the event page.

About MEXC

MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets. As the Gateway to Infinite Opportunities, MEXC provides a single platform where users can easily trade cryptocurrencies alongside tokenized assets, including stocks, ETFs, commodities, and precious metals.
