Fire accidents often lead to tremendous losses and smoke has been reported be the main cause of these heavy casualties. Accordingly, movement can influence escape confinement is particular significant. Dynamics Simulator software (FDS) was utilized carry out complementary full scale numerical simulations fire accident in a subway station. Different measure prevention exhaust were adopted differ...

the risks of fire and explosion in oil and gas industry need to be managed. the objectives of the present study were to assess the risk of fire and explosion in iso-max unit of tehran oil refinery using dow’s fire and explosion index and to study the influences of the controlling methods. the latest version of dow fire and explosion index guideline was applied to calculate the fire and explosio...

Electronic feeding stations (EFS) were developed to automate data collection of individual animals housed in a group environment. In order for scientists to use EFS, such as feed intake recording equipment (FIRE), in research, data recorded electronically cannot differ from data recorded on calibrated scales. The objectives of 2 studies were to determine if data recorded by 2 FIRE stations (FIR...

Tabanan is one of the districts in Bali which has ten sub-districts. The size site will affect handling fire incidents each area district. This relates to response time brigade, who must be able arrive at location after 15 minutes from received report. Travel existing station other remote take more than minutes. considered result delays disasters—the impact adding new fighting posts sub-distric...

Greece is a high risk Mediterranean country with respect to wildfires. This risk has been increasing under the impact of climate change, and in summer 2007 approximately 200,000 ha of vegetated land were burnt. The SEVIRI sensor, on board the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) geostationary satellite, is the only spaceborne sensor providing five and 15-minute observations of Europe in 12 spectral...

Fire is a potentially powerful tool for achieving desired conditions of forest ecosystems. From an ecological perspective, the use of fire requires affirmative answers to either of the following questions: (1) Does it increase ecosystem health and sustainability? and (2) Does it preserve or restore unique species or habitats? Health and sustainability can be measured and defined in terms of: (1...

Smoke is a leading cause of death in fire. To minimize the potential harm from the smoke hazards in the course of a fire, a rational virtual reality (VR)-based fire training simulator taking full account of the various aspects of smoke hazards has been developed and is described herein. In this simulator, a visualization technique based on volume rendering and fire dynamics data has been especi...
