Understanding A Fire Alarm Design

Fire alarms ? installed throughout a building - are meant to be a first line of defense in protecting the lives of those within. Installed professionally, fire alarms work in tandem as a complex network dedicated to detecting danger in the form of smoke and fire. But just as important as the alarms themselves is the manner in which they are installed. In order to ensure the utmost efficiency and safety measures, it is imperative that a professionally licensed engineer complete a comprehensive fire alarm design.

We all know that a fire alarm is used to detect smoke or heat ? in the form of fire ? and alert us to the danger so that we may vacate the presences in enough time to secure our safety. A fire alarm design takes into account the layout of the building including number of levels, heat sources, and exits; and it also considers the level of complexity required for each particular building. For instance, a single family home will require a far less involved fire alarm design that a multi-tiered sporting arena. In a large public building additional fire safety features will be required ? such as ceiling sprinkler systems and elaborate communications devices ? that are not required on private properties. An engineer will take all of these needs into consideration when completing a fire alarm design.

The engineer and fire alarm technicians ? as part of making the fire alarm design - will review the specifications on each property and determine where the fire alarms should go to maximize their efficiency and allow for the greatest safety assurances. A drawing will be completed of the property showing exits, proposed locations of fire and smoke alarms, as well as any wiring or electrical needs that may result from this installation.

Of course, in the case of a larger public building, the engineer and fire alarm technicians will work in tandem with licensed electricians who will handle the wiring and ensure that the installation is up to code. In many cases ? both in public and private buildings ? the fire alarm system will be connected straight to area fire officials who will monitor alarm activity. This ensures that help is on the way as quickly as possible ? maximizing the safety of all inside the building.

When done properly by experienced and knowledgeable professionals, a fire alarm design will be a carefully crafted plan that will ultimately safeguard a building and the people inside.

Fireplace Safety Considerations: Thoughts Before Consulting

Installing a fireplace in a home can be a mind bending chore. Looking at all the options available to you, many thoughts go through your head. The work involved. The money it will take. The place it should go. But, the main thought that should be hitting your mind concerns safety.

Comparing your options is a step-by-step methodical approach that you should probably consult with an expert. But, there are some things you can think about on your own. We'll go through them.

There are basically four different types of fireplaces. The traditional fireplace is what most people think of when they think of fireplaces. They burn logs in an attractive hole in the wall for lack of better words. The gas fireplace is much like the traditional in the fact that you still need that hole in the wall. But, the gas fireplace is convenient. It can be turned on with a switch. Then, there is the electric fireplace that also turns on by a switch, but it doesn't need a hole in the wall. Lastly, there is the ventless gel that doesn't need a hole in the wall either, it heats and lights rather easily even though it's not by a flip of a switch. In the nutshell, there's your rundown.

When installing a traditional fireplace, there are so many things for you to consider. You'll need a hearth, which is the floor space in front of the fireplace. It should be made of material that doesn't burn in case sparks fly out of the fire. Any contractor should know that. In fact, if they don't, that's your sign that you need to talk to someone else. You will also need a chimney for proper ventilation. The safety concerns with a traditional fireplace include the fire itself and the ventilation. There are metal screens that can protect your house from sparks that like to jump from logs. But, for the most part, with the proper ventilation, those sparks will normally fly up the chimney. So, proper ventilation is the key to keep from having a fire hazard as well as getting smoked out of your own house. All the precautions can be taken to ensure a safe fireplace experience. And it will normally run you anywhere from $5,000 to $7,500 in most areas.

When you think about the gas fireplace, many of the same concerns go through your head as when you were considering the traditional fireplace. You need proper ventilation, meaning a chimney. So, costs of installation are going to be about the same. Because even though you might not need a hearth, you still need a gas line. Gas lines can be very safe if installed correctly. But, I have seen some major fire damage caused by a simple malfunction. But, that's not your main concern. The special burners that come with a gas fireplace are designed to keep levels of carbon monoxide to a healthy minimum. But, as with all gas products, problems do arise from time to time and a gas fireplace could very well end up causing an extremely dangerous situation. By the way, carbon monoxide is a deadly toxic gas that is a byproduct of natural gas. You can't smell it at all. But, gas companies have put a distinct smell into the gas so that you can detect it. You should be aware of that. Also, a gas fireplace produces a water vapor that escapes throughout the house. This water vapor is a considerable amount. What it does is cause fungus and mold infestation. This can make you sick if you don't inspect your house regularly, in the hard to find areas, and make sure to treat those areas with the proper preventive chemicals.

Electric fireplaces don't require all of the installation considerations as the other two options. But, there are other concerns to be aware of when you are mulling it over. First of all, the electric is a concern because of the same situation as every other electrical appliance. Placement of an electric fireplace is confined to the outlets. Water should never be around an electrical fireplace. Electrical fireplaces don't produce much heat, so you will need an alternative heat source. Besides, if a power outage should occur, you won't be able to use the electric fireplace anyway. It's not my favorite choice, but you can save yourself quite a bit of money on this option.

The ventless gel is actually a striking option. Like the electric fireplace, no installation is required. It is very cost effective, thousands of dollars lower than the traditional and the gas. In fact, you can get a ventless gel fireplace for as low as $300. So, what are the safety precautions? The gel is made of an alcohol chemical that burns like a citronella candle if you've ever seen one of those. The alcohol produces a small amount of water vapor, but not as much as the gas fireplace. In fact, the water vapor hardly has a chance to escape the room since its quantity is so small it completely evaporates before going anywhere significant. So, safety precautions? Virtually none. The same precautions you would take if you had a candle burning on that romantic night.

Consulting an expert is always a good idea once you have weighed all the options yourself. Remember though, when you are discussing your "construction" needs with a contractor, think about what your "expert" is actually saying to you. They are in the business to make money and may give you very convincing reasons for upgrading because they have their own hidden agenda: making money from you. It's the game. Learn how to play it!

Fireplace Safety Issues and Tips to Help Prevent Accidents

Safety begins even before you install your fireplace. There are a number of different styles and types fireplaces on the market, some are not considered as safe as others. As an example, ventless or vent free gas fireplaces are not approved in Canada, and have limited approval in the United States. Where and how you install your fireplace could also be a safety issue if not done correctly. Installation of the firebox and or vent system to close to the wood studs or other combustible materials could pose a fire hazard.

Here is short list of safety issues you should be aware of. Before you operate your fireplace for the first time, have it inspected and carefully read the owners manual. Clean away any dust or debris that may have accumulated during construction i.e. wood chips or drywall dust may harm the motor, burners or the fan. Make sure your fire detector is operating properly and also consider installing a carbon monoxide detector near your fireplace.

Wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the pilot light if it goes out, this helps to ensure any gas that may be in the air will have dissipated. Keep children from getting to close to the fireplace when it is being used, skin or clothing can easily burn if pressed against the glass face. Before cleaning or wiping down the fireplace ensure that it has completely cooled off. Also make a point of regularly checking the outside area around the vent to make sure there is no build up of debris.

If you suspect anything is wrong with the way your fireplace is operating it is best to act quickly and contact the gas company or your fireplace supplier and have it looked at immediately. Things to be aware of include; any unusual odors, or if the flames appear to jumping or sputtering in an unusual manner. Any maintenance on either the venting system or firebox should be done by a qualified professional. I recommend you keep a detailed record of all inspections and service work that is done on your fireplace, it may also be a good idea to keep all receipts, warranty and all related paperwork in one folder for ease of reference.

Thermal Measurements: The Foundation of Fire Standards

Thermal Measurements: The Foundation of Fire Standards
Eleven peer-reviewed papers address the significant challenges associated with performing thermal measurements as part of fire standards development, testing and analysis. The testing environment and the results of fire standards tests are almost always based on one or more thermal measurements. Measurements of importance include temperature, heat flux, calorimetry, and gas species concentrations. These measurements are also of primary importance to the experimental validation of computer models of fire growth and material response. Topics cover: Temperature--despite the frequency of temperature measurement to characterize test environments and material response, challenges remain in consistently performing measurements with quantified uncertainty. This section addresses temperature measurement of conditions ranging from thermal fields in furnace environments to thermal response of engulfed objects in large pool fires and thermal protection effectiveness of firefighterÆs clothing. Thermocouples, while straightforward in use and operation, are illustrated as deserving consideration of the uncertainty in measurements for each specific application. Heat Flux--measurements of heat flux are useful to define the fire thermal field for purposes of evaluating material thermal response. Several established gauges have been extensively in fire standards. As with temperature measurements, the resulting uncertainty varies with the gauge design and the environment. The magnitude of this uncertainty, and the need to perform cost-effective experiments and tests, has yielded some new designs and application techniques. Significant progress associated with existing methods address calibration, angular sensitivity, and uncertainty quantification under large fire conditions. Calorimetry and Ignition Energy--although not as common as heat flux and temperature measurements, these parameters often play the key role in fire standards for the role they play in the initiation, growth, and spread of fire environments. Heat release rate measurements and the evaluation of oxygen are also discussed. In addition, uncertainty in the measurement of ignition energy is also explored. Modern diagnostics and tools allow a closer look at legacy methods and techniques for performing these measurements. Audience: This new publication is a valuable reference guide for researchers and engineers who need to measure temperature, radiant flux, and heat transfer; scientists and engineers involved in testing flammability limits of vapor phrase mixtures; testing laboratory personnel; and university professors and students.

Reasons to Upgrade Your Fire Alarm Annunciator System

When it comes to public safety, it is important to make sure that all public buildings are properly equipped to provide ample warning in the event of a fire. A good fire alarm annunciator system will accomplish this goal. Here's a few reasons why an up to date fire annunciator system will make all the difference.

Computer technology has led to sophisticated fire alarm annunciator systems that are simple to program and read. Armed with sensors that are strategically placed in each room of the facility, the fire alarm annunciator system allows for a central location to identify the locations of any fire activity. This can be very helpful in the evacuation process, as it is possible to know exactly what exits may be impacted by the fire and re-route persons who might normally pass through that area on their way out of the building.

Older alarm annunciator systems worked off a series of codes that had to be used to arm the system and also to stop alarms from sounding when they were no longer helpful. This could mean the waste of valuable time once the fire department has responded to the emergency. Tricky codes meant keeping someone nearby to help work the process. With the screen touch technology of today's systems, firemen do not have to figure out how to quiet the system and then guess where the fire may be. Many systems have a layout of the building on the screen and the firemen can easily figure out how to get to the fire by using the virtual floor plan.

The simplicity of the newer alarm annunciators mean that the firefighter does not have to deal with an array of warning lights. Instead of trying to silence them as others move into position to handle the fire, the technology of newer systems allows the process to take place with a simple touch. No more consoles that may have up to ninety buttons to deal with.

Today's fire alarm annunciator systems also allow the building manager or supervisor the ability to access other information that may not be of use to the fire fighters and stores it with separate access codes. This allows an employee or officer of the company to manage the way the system works during routine monitoring and keeps the process simple in the even of an emergency.

Fire alarm annunciator systems today come in many styles that can be integrated into the overall decorating and structural scheme of the building. While still within easy reach, they do not have to look like an afterthought or appear to be simply utilitarian. Simplicity of operation, enhanced safety, and aesthetics that work with your surroundings are all reasons that make the investment in a new fire alarm annunciator system an excellent choice.

Matthew's latest ambition is to become a firefighter. So that evening, when he and his mother enjoy a July long-weekend barbecue, Matthew supervises his mother carefully. "These coals stay hot for a very long time," he reminds her. After watching the fireworks, Matthew goes to bed, still thinking about fire safety as he hears the sound of the last hissing rockets zoom up into the sky. Before he knows it, Matthew is wide-awake. A rocket streaks through his window and lands on the floor, hissing, burning, and just about to explode! Quickly Matthew douses the flames with a glass of water, and immediately, a fireman climbs up a ladder and jumps in through the window. Praising the boy's quick thinking, he recruits Matthew for the Midnight Fire Department. And not a moment too soon. A call comes in from the fire hall, Matthew grabs his boots and his new firefighter hat, and AWAY THEY GO! A wild and imaginative adventure that could only happen after bedtime, Matthew and the Midnight Firefighter is a fast-paced story for beginner readers who are almost ready for longer chapter books.

Public Relations for Fire Protection Services

After watching the massive wildfires in the Western United States over the last five years it appears that more public relations is needed to prevent folks from doing rather stupid things like tossing their cigarette butts out the window of their cars while driving. After all after wet seasons of robust under brush or weeds and grass build up and then severe summer droughts, there is more than enough dried brush fuel out there.

Smoky the Bear was a great public relations campaign, but it is not taken seriously enough with the older crowds any more and this is why a new public relations campaign nationally as well as local community goodwill programs are needed to remind people out there.

So, how can fire protection services develop a good public relations program for their local area? The answer is relatively simple and it would seem that fire protection services must stay in the minds of the people when they are out and about. It must also reach them in their homes so that they are sure to consider the importance of weed abatement programs and clearing the dry brush away from their homes.

But it is more than that and it takes a concentrated effort and a serious look at public relations strategies. If a public-relations strategy for a fire protection service fails the repercussions and potential challenges down the road could be tenfold. Please consider this in 2006.

According to Tom Schneid, municipal departments, volunteer organizations, and industrial fire brigades are more vulnerable than ever before to lawsuits, fines, and other damages, which means that the country's 1.2 million firefighters simply must gain a working knowledge of the various areas of potential liability if they are to avoid litigation. Fire Law refers to actual court cases, giving readers the fullest possible understanding of issues, facts, court reasoning, and even dissenting opinions. The book discusses the procedures of the various courts—from the federal on down to the municipal level. It sheds light on such issues as:

The legal implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act
The legal impact of National Fire Protection Association Standards
Firefighter's responsibilities under OSHA and other federal regulations
The legal liabilities of emergency medical service workers
"Assumption of risk" doctrine and "fellow servant" rule
"Special duty" and "attractive nuisance" doctrines

Cutting through the "legalese" to provide useful, plain-English guidance on the rights and responsibilities of fire service personnel, Fire Law will become an invaluable resource to firefighters everywhere. Designed to be used in conjunction with legal counsel, it provides fire departments with invaluable legal guidance and some much-deserved peace of mind.

The Behavior of Glass and Other Materials Exposed to Fire (Applied Fire Science in Transition Series, V. 1)

The Behavior of Glass and Other Materials Exposed to Fire (Applied Fire Science in Transition Series, V. 1)
ABOUT THE SERIES

The Journal of Applied Fire Science, edited by Paul R. DeCicco is pleased to announce a new book series, Applied Fire Science in Transition. The series begins with four monographs dealing in areas of interest to fire protection engineers and others concerned with the solution of current problems in fire safety analysis and design. Each volume includes a number of papers which have appeared in JAFS and which have been written by world authorities in their respective fields of applied fire science. The subjects addressed represent problems and issues of fire science and associated technologies that are currently very much in transition.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Behavior of Glass and Other Materials Exposed to Fire?Volume I has been prepared in response to the general dearth of knowledge concerning the occurrence and effects of "flashover" and back draft phenomena which often results from intentional or unintentional venting of building fires following failure of glass materials due to thermal stress or firefighter operations. The behavior of a number of other materials such as char, plastic insulation, plywood and high-strength concrete are presented, as there is a need to learn more about materials that are already common, or rapidly coming on line in the building industry.
