Fire Prevention and Protection

What type of line should be stretched for exposure protection on a fully involved structure fire?

The answer depends upon a lot of other factors including what type of fire department it is and whether there are any fire hydrants nearby.

Fire protection includes adequate means of egress, exit signs, exit lighting, fire doors, fire alarm and fire suppression, among other things.

The extinguishing agent would preferably a "clean agent" type, such as Halon or CO2, but many places also have water-type sprinklers, in case the fire gets hot enough to trigger them.

It means - Rescue, Activate alarm, Confine the fire, Evacuate/Extinguish.

NFPA 704 Hazmat color codes:

blue -- health hazard (4 being deadly)

red -- fire hazard (4 being flash point below 73 F)

yellow -- reactivity (4 may detonate) and

white -- specific hazard (no water, radioactive, acid, alkali, corrosive, oxidizer)

With out knowing the square footage or seeing any plans you can figure around $2.00 to $4.00 a square foot. Geographical area could play in to this also.

In remote areas, without a reliable water supply, the cost of the necessary water storage and pumps may be the bulk of the system cost.

The blanket will help to smother the flames. The flames should go out once deprived of oxygen, hopefully before the person suffers burns. A carpet could be used instead as speed is essential.

Carbon monoxide is not like a fire, where a fire at the other end of the building could potentially be an out of control blaze by the time it reached your unit and you were aware of it. If there's enough carbon monoxide in your living space to be a danger to you, a carbon monoxide detector IN your own living space will provide all the alert you need.

Fire safety training is very important for everyone because you don't know when you required this thing

Welearntraining-

Occupational and Firefighting training course is intended for laborers who might confront openness to a firefighting peril. The course gives students the essential standards of fire ignition and moves to make on finding a fire. It likewise talks about sorts of fire quenchers and their activity, including the utilization of fire covers and hose reels.this course is for coastal and seaward faculty who need top to bottom firefighting information.

The fire alarm control system (or control panel) "FACP" is the portion of a fire alarm system that monitors remote sensors, determines when there is an alarm condition, activates the alarm and possible other actions. The FACP can trigger release of fire doors, release exterior locks on access doors or hatches, start or stop ventilation systems, start a fire pump, phone a monitoring center to request the fire department, among other things. One thing a FACP can do in a specific high-hazard occupancy is to start the deluge sprinkler or fire extinguisher system. Ordinary fire sprinklers are heat activated individually.

Any electrical device if used improperly can cause a house fire. This has happened a few times when people were popping corn using a paper bag, oil, and closed the bag with a metal core twist tie. The twist tie ignited the oil soaked paper bag, when the user panicked and opened the microwave door the burning oil flared up and ignited materials in the kitchen causing a house fire.

Not on its own. To have a fire you need three ingredients: fuel, oxygen, and heat. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable fuel. The heat is needed to ignite and sustain the reaction. Our atmosphere is 21% oxygen, which makes fire possible here. Oxygen tanks, which contain pure oxygen, are a fire hazard because higher concentrations of oxygen make it easier for flammable materials to ignite and allow a fire to burn hotter and spread faster.

Smokey Bear is a campaign that was started in the 1940's to inform people about the prevention of forest fires. The best resource available to obtain information is from the Smokey Bear website.

Fire prevention refers to the design, planning, building, operation and maintenance of structures and materials, and training of personnel for fire safety. In particular, life safety is the primary goal, often by separating fire hazards from people who could be injured, and providing for rapid escape of any people who may be at risk during a potential fire.

Firefighting (or fire suppression) refers to the actions necessary to rescue people from fire, isolate the fire and extinguish it. Those actions may include hiring, equipping, training and deploying firefighters under proper supervision.

A geyser (like Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park) is a spray of water and steam. It would extinguish most fires.

Kitchens will usually not have fire sprinklers per se, because the most common fires that occur in kitchens are sparked by grease or burning oil, and water will actually cause these types of fires to spread. Instead, kitchen fires are put out using kitchen fire suppression systems, which utilize a variety of chemical methods to extinguish kitchen fires safely and prevent them from flaring up again.

The orphaned bear, rescued after a forest fire in New Mexico's Lincoln National Forest in 1950, was moved to the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington DC, after receiving treatment for his burns in Santa Fe. Smokey Bear was so popular that in April of 1964, he was given his own zipcode, to help handle all the mail he received. Santa Claus was the only figure, more popular at the time. Smokey Bear passed away November 9, 1976. For more details, please see sites listed below.

It depends. NFPA states that sprinklers over 50 years of age should be replaced or should have a representative sample tested. This means that sprinkler samples need to be pulled from the system and sent to a testing laboratory (UL) for testing. If the sprinkers pass this test, a certificate is issued stating that the sprinklers are still operational.

A dry standpipe is a system of pipes with fire hose connection outlets inside a building, but it only has water in it when needed, as opposed to a wet standpipe in which water is always present at the hose-connection valves. There may optionally be a hose connected at some of the valve outlets for use by occupants before the fire department arrives with their own hoses.

Water can either be pumped in from a fire department connection (FDC) on the outside of the building, or can be supplied by other pressurized water supply, but in a dry-pipe system, the valve is not opened until water is needed.

An "automatic-dry" standpipe normally contains only pressurized air and valves sensors open the main water valve when the air pressure drops (i.e., someone opens a valve). A "manual-dry" system requires an external source of water and pressure, fed into the FDC. Note that these are not approved under Canadian building and fire codes.

NFPA 14 has more information about the standards for standpipes.

NFPA 1141, Standard for Fire Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Wildland, Rural, and Suburban Areas, is cross-referenced in NFPA 1 regarding MANDATORY sections of the Fire Code.

If the local authority has not properly adopted an equivalent standard, and has simply chosen not to use 1141, that would be an issue for the insurance companies that provide fire insurance ratings in that community.

There may also be administrative channels in the state fire marshal's office to help educate the local authorities regarding their obligations to provide a reasonable level of public safety, where violation of a national standard may be considered evidence of negligence.

In a deluge system the water comes out of all sprinkler heads at once, compared with most fire sprinkler systems in which each sprinkler head has its own heat-sensitive trigger.

There are major design differences in how much water you need for a deluge system and what safety interlocks are built into the system to prevent accidental water damage.
