Download or read book Improving Firefighter Safety in the Wildland urban Intermix written by Richard J. Mangan and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, the incursion of private residences into wildlands increases the potential for the devastating loss of important natural resources and private property from wildfire. Structural and wildland firefighters are working side-by-side in a setting that is not typical of their traditional workplaces. These wildland-urban intermix fires have proven to be a special risk to the safety of the firefighters battling them. In the 1990gass alone, firefighters have been seriously injured or killed on intermix fires in Arizona, California, Utah, Kentucky, and other States. This report discusses key areas of concern for firefighter safety in the wildland-urban intermix: command and control, mix of forces, access, civilian population, personal protective clothing and equipment, and special hazards.

Download or read book Thermal Protective Clothing for Firefighters written by Guowen Song and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal Protective Clothing for Firefighters explores the materials, design, and usage of thermal protective clothing. The characteristics of fire hazards are discussed in detail, and the thermal environments faced by firefighters in these fire hazards are also examined. The different types of potential burn injuries and the heat stress that occurs to firefighters’ bodies when exposed to such thermal environments are analyzed. Furthermore, the development of various high performance fibers and fabrics for thermal protective clothing is discussed. The test methods and existing standards to evaluate the thermal protective and physiological comfort performances of the fabrics and clothing are critically reviewed. Recent developments in the field of fire- and heat-resistant materials have led to significant improvements in thermal protective clothing. In parallel with this, the complexity and risk levels of fires, especially in industrial-storage facilities, and developments in health and safety cultures have increased the demand for high-performance heat- and flame-resistant clothing and equipment, designed to mitigate skin burn injuries and reduce risk of death from fire hazards. Throughout the work, the gaps and limitations in existing test methods and standards are identified, and approaches are recommended for the development of enhanced test methods. Scenario modeling and its implications for firefighters’ protective clothing is discussed, and various factors affecting performance are established. Finally, various key issues related to thermal protective clothing are addressed to guide the future research in the field of thermal protective clothing for firefighters. This book will help materials-textile engineers to develop high performance thermal protective clothing that can enhance the protection, safety, and comfort of firefighters. Offers a helpful guide to the successful specification and design of high performance protective clothing to meet the high standards of today's regulatory framework Introduces the new materials technical innovations that are transforming fire protective clothing Explores the role of clothing from the operational perspective, including technical innovations Offers a critical review of the test methods and existing standards to evaluate the thermal protective and physiological comfort performances of the fabrics and clothing
