With the rapid development of urban modernization, traffic congestion, travel delays, and other related inconveniences have become central features in people’s daily lives. The subway transit systems has alleviated some these problems. However, numerous underground stations lack adequate fire safety protections, this can cause rescue difficulties event fire. Once occurs, there will be huge prop...

The flammability of wildland vegetation is strongly dependent upon the moisture content of fine dead fuels. Consequently, assessing the moisture content of these fuels to within a reasonable degree of accuracy is an important part of wildland fire management. Estimates of fine fuel moisture content can also be combined with information on wind speed, vegetation type and drought effects to provi...

In this study, three full-scale experiments and a series of numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the influence subway platform height atrium ceiling stations on smoke control by mechanical exhausting systems. The temperature variation with time, maximum distribution, stratification discussed. Results showed that had capacity store smoke, especially at early stage spread. However,...

The Fire and Fire Surrogates (FFS) network is composed of 12 forest sites that span the continental United States, all of which historically had frequent low-severity fire. The goal of the FFS study was to assess the efficacy of three management treatments (prescribed fire, mechanical thinning, and their combination) in reducing wildfire hazard and increasing ecosystem sustainability. This pape...

Abstract Inefficient and ineffective fire management practices are common to most urban areas of developing countries. Nigerian cities typical examples high vulnerability low preparedness level for disaster. This study examined the institutional framework disaster risk reduction (FDRR) explored roles key actors in Ibadan, a large traditional city Nigeria. The was anchored on concept governance....
