Book excerpt: Excerpt from Protection Against Fire, the Best Means of Putting Out Fires in Cities, Towns, and Villages: Practical Suggestions for the Security of Life and Property Near the close of a hot summer day, many years since, the people of Charlestown, Massachusetts, were startled by the cry of "fire." On a small house near the bridge, there was a little fire, perhaps three feet in diameter. An earnest man could have dashed it out in a minute or two, with a pail of water. No one, however, made an attempt to do what every one supposed would be done in a few minutes but the firemen. The firemen did not come as expected, and as there was a high wind, the fire quadrupled its proportions every minute, and soon the flames leaped upon two large buildings, which before the first engine go to work were well all on fire. The people now saw their error, but it was too late. The engine was powerless, and soon other great buildings were in flames, and a conflagration was imminent.

Download or read book Critical Issues and Analysis in Fire Protection and Prevention written by Axel Cablé and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an estimated 135 000 reported fire incidents occurring each day worldwide (CTIF World Fire Statistics Center, 2020), fire safety is a major societal and safety issue. Fires have an enormous impact on people's lives and wellbeing. They cause massive amounts of air pollution, increase carbon emissions, and are responsible for the loss of invaluable natural and cultural heritage. In the current context of climate change, it is hence crucial to develop appropriate preventive and protective measures against fire. This book is a compilation of studies and advances on the current state of research related to critical issues and analysis in the field of fire safety, with chapter contributions from various countries and research institutions worldwide (Australia, Chile, France, India and USA). It aims to provide a broad picture of currently faced challenges and potential solutions from passive and active protective measures, to modelling and experimentations related to compartment and wildland fires. Chapter 1 and 2 address the issues of smoke generation in compartment fires, with, on the one hand, the risk of ignition of unburnt gases and, and on the other hand, the need for visibility through smoke for evacuation.Chapter 3 and 4 are dedicated to the fire resistance and pyrolysis study of innovative composite materials and bio-based flame retardants, notably for vehicle and aircraft applications. Chapter 5 discusses the challenges related to the fire protection of built cultural heritage and evaluate the performance of an innovative sprinkler fire suppression system. Chapter 6 addresses the issue of forest fires and provides a methodology to improve the emergency response time at urban-forest interfaces. Chapter 7 opens up the discussion and provides potential solutions to help reduce the occurrence of wildfires and increase community safety in the context of climate change by involving renewable energies and local fire stations.
