Since the presence of a fire safety director in high-rises is required by law in many cities, and fires remain an ever present danger, demand should remain steady for workers in this field. Although demand will be steady for FSDs, it's important to remember that this is not a large field, and some cities do not have laws that require fire safety directors in skyscrapers, large residential buildings, and public buildings. The most-attractive job candidates will have extensive experience in leadership positions (ideally in emergency management or with police or fire departments).
