Fundamentals of Fire Protection

The basic principle of the tragedy of Worcester fire on December 3, 1999 is the day the Worcester Fire Department will change forever. Six professional firefighters died lost in the maze of the building on the 6th floor, refrigerator room and warehouse. 39 years old Joseph T. McGuirk, James F. Lyons III, 34, lieutenant Thomas E. Spencer, 42, Timothy P. Jackson, 51, Paul A. Brotherton, 41 years old. And Jeremiah M. Roussey, 38. (Firehouse.com/worcester May 2002) This survey will explain the importance of operation in the accident command system, the importance of accountability, the crew's integrity, the rapid intervention team, and the use of thermal imaging.

Prior to the widespread use of the invention or active fire protection (AFP), passive fire protection (PFP) was developed in the form of an automatic fire sprinkler system. In the meantime, PFP was the main protection mode provided in the facility design. Due to the extensive installation of fire sprinklers over the past 50 years, the reliance on PFP as the only method has decreased. Lobby groups are usually divided into two camps to promote active or passive fire protection. Each camp tries to acquire more business for itself by establishing or changing the influence of local and national buildings and fire regulations.

In the model building standards, passive fire and active fire protection systems are necessary to minimize the damage caused by fire. The most common form of active fire protection is an extinguishing sprinkler. Building materials and furniture in most developed countries have been tested for fire resistance, flammability and flammability to maximize the passive fire protection performance of buildings. The interior, carpet and plastic used in cars and containers were also tested. Please use various recovery methods and measures according to the type of fire that occurs. Restoration from a fire can be done by the asset management team, the maintenance staff of the building, or the home owner himself, but it is necessary to contact a fire injury repair specialist by a qualified professional, training and experience It is considered to be the safest way to recover from the damage caused by the fire.
