{"title":"Designing fire safe interiors.","authors":"D W Belles","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Any product that causes a fire to grow large is deficient in fire safety performance. A large fire in any building represents a serious hazard. Multiple-death fires almost always are linked to fires that grow quickly to a large size. Interior finishes have large, continuous surfaces over which fire can spread. They are regulated to slow initial fire growth, and must be qualified for use on the basis of fire tests. To obtain meaningful results, specimens must be representative of actual installation. Variables--such as the substrate, the adhesive, and product thickness and density--can affect product performance. The tunnel test may not adequately evaluate some products, such as foam plastics or textile wall coverings, thermoplastic materials, or materials of minimal mass. Where questions exist, products should be evaluated on a full-scale basis. Curtains and draperies are examples of products that ignite easily and spread flames readily. The present method for testing curtains and draperies evaluates one fabric at a time. Although a fabric tested alone may perform well, fabrics that meet test standards individually sometimes perform poorly when tested in combination. Contents and furnishings constitute the major fuels in many fires. Contents may involve paper products and other lightweight materials that are easily ignited and capable of fast fire growth. Similarly, a small source may ignite many items of furniture that are capable of sustained fire growth. Upholstered furniture can reach peak burning rates in less than 5 minutes. Furnishings have been associated with many multiple-death fires.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)","PeriodicalId":79697,"journal":{"name":"NFPA journal : the official magazine of the National Fire Protection Association","volume":"86 4","pages":"32-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20991498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

L.A. County plans its disaster response. 洛杉矶县计划应对灾难。

{"title":"L.A. County plans its disaster response.","authors":"K DeVarney, L Collins","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The Los Angeles County Fire Department is one of many agencies making great strides in the development of urban search and rescue programs. Much of the department's USAR training, equipment, and strategies have been tested on real incidents. Each incident presents new challenges and teaches new lessons. Before the establishment of the three-tiered USAR system, those personnel nearest an incident handled it. Many never saw a similar incident again. The lessons they learned were often lost because there was no system to collect their experiences, retrieve the information, and make it available to other emergency responders in the form of training programs. A major advantage of tiered response is the system's ability to ensure rapid response by trained, experienced, and well-equipped personnel. Rather than repeating mistakes and forgetting successful rescue methods, the system allows the retrieval of the experiences of personnel and their use in the development of training materials. Urban search and rescue specialists have the ability to build on earlier experiences to raise the overall level of skills. The net result is more effective training, increased efficiency, and enhanced safety for rescuers and victims. The field of urban search and rescue is still in its infancy. Many new and innovative strategies, techniques, and tools are on the horizon. In recent years, there has been growing interest in this specialty across the nation. We expect this trend to continue as breakthroughs occur. More than ever, it is important for all concerned agencies to share information and to work together to improve our ability to save lives.","PeriodicalId":79697,"journal":{"name":"NFPA journal : the official magazine of the National Fire Protection Association","volume":"85 6","pages":"60-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20988188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
