El Program: Fire Risk Reduction in Buildings
The total cost of fire in the United States in 2008, as defined by NFPA, is estimated at $310 B, or roughly 2 % of U.S. gross domestic product. Structure fires and fire protection account for $170 B. To reduce the U.S. fire burden, the Fire Risk Reduction in Buildings program focuses on the development and application of measurement science and standards directly on the two largest components o...
متن کاملSummary of the fire protection foundation report - fire safety challenges of tall wood buildings

As timber buildings are planned to be taller than many model codes permit, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Fire Protection Foundat...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effective Factors on Increasing the Risk of Damages to Urban Buildings in Post-earthquake Fire Crisis by AHP Method
Background and Objectives: Earthquake can be the source of many secondary disasters. Fire is one of the most important secondary hazards after the earthquake. In some cases, post-earthquake fires, in urban areas, may cause far more severe damages than the earthquake itself. After the earthquake, the risk of fire is greatly increased due to the existence of sources of fire, such as arteries of g...
