Yes definitely it is a good choice.
Fire engineering is a field which explores the various possibilities of preventing fires.It can be defined as the art and science of designing buildings and facilities for life safety and property protection in the event of an unwanted fire.This includes the application of scientific and engineering principles, based on an understanding of the phenomena and effects of fire and of reaction and behaviour of people, property and the environment as well as the impact of fire protection systems including detection, alarm and sprinkler systems.Fire Engineering is becoming world's one of the noblest profession by virtue of its growing role in saving life and property.
Good luck.

yes, it is very different to those of other engineering degrees. it is a very dangerous profession which requires a strong sense of commitment to public service.a fire engineer requires applying scientific and engineering principles along with understanding the psychology and the reaction of people to reduce the impact of fire burns. since fire engineers have to work in a dangerous condition and are always at risk of burns, smoke inhalation an exposure to chemicals hence it requires you to process both mental and physical skills to tackle the problem.
