Techniques for augmenting the automation of routine coordination are rapidly reaching a level of effectiveness where they can simulate realistic coordination on the ground for large numbers of emergency response entities (e.g. fire engines, police cars) for the sake of training. Furthermore, it seems inevitable that future disaster response systems will utilize such technology. We have construc...

Recently, in seismic design analysis, some non-structural elements have been defined and analyzed as rigid bodies, which makes it difficult to ensure the safety of against earthquakes. In recently revised “Seismic Design Standards for Fire-Fighting Facilities,” fire-fighting facilities load structural prioritizes each connection. particular, a tank vibrating due an earthquake, pressure from flu...

<span>The purpose of this article is to describe the development a prototype monitoring and control system for fire-fighting system, implemented through SCADA (supervisory data acquisition) which OPC (OLE process control) known. Known KepServerEX6 (single source connectivity platform), with integration PLC (programmable logic controller), human-machine interface (HMI) computer will be con...

Fire-fighters’ personal protective clothing is the only source of protection for fire-fighters during fire-fighting. The protective clothing should provide adequate protection as well as should be comfortable to wear. The protection and comfort requirements are always the contradicting fact in several protective clothing including fire-fighters’. Appropriate material selection, clothing design ...
