Book excerpt: Every year in North America there are fires & feed damage caused by spontaneous combustion & heating. This bulletin explains the spontaneous combustion process, the factors that lead to fire in hay & silage, and how to prevent fires in silos & hay storage facilities. Information is included on recommended safe silage/hay moisture levels, how to assess fire risk, how to determine silage moisture content using a microwave oven, and hay/silage fire extinguishment procedures.

Book excerpt: This incident highlights the need for the recognition of the dangers of oxygen-limiting silos regardless of their use and setting. Other issues identified are the need for a hazard and risk assessment process in decisionmaking on the fireground, the importance of site control and accountability, the need for group training in technical rescue operations, the coordination of non-fire department resources and the role of emergency management personnel fulfilling an active role in a unified command structure.

Download or read book Extinguishing Smouldering Fires in Silos written by Maarit Tuomisaari and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustible, porous materials may self-ignite during their storage time in silos as a result of internal heating. The self-ignition process may be slow, and it results in smouldering fires that are extremely difficult to extinguish. Suitable means to fight the smouldering fire were studied both theoretically and experimentally. General heat and mass transfer equations for porous media subject to fires and suppression were written. The equations together with dimensional analysis revealed critical parameters, like the grain size and moisture content, affecting the combustion and suppression process, but they also revealed the complexity of the problem. Experimental results of over 50 tests with varying combustibles and suppression agents were used as the basis for proposed qualitative guidelines on how to fight a smouldering silor fire. Among the potential gaseous agents, CO2 was found to be the most efficient one. Low expansion foam was also found to be apotential candidate, but its applicability requires further confirmation. Quantifying the guidelines required a whole new study on the detection of a smouldering fire. The same detection system should be capable of monitoring the suppression process and-most importantly-verifying the extinguisment.
