Book Synopsis A Study of Smoke Detector Technology, Usage and Effectiveness by : Robert M. Coleman
Download or read book A Study of Smoke Detector Technology, Usage and Effectiveness written by Robert M. Coleman and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As or 1994, 93% of U.S. homes had at least one smoke detector. Fifty percent of home fires occurred in homes with no smoke detector. Three-fifths of the home fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke detector. In 1/3 of the homes with detectors that had fires, the detectors were not operational. One-fifth of all homes with detectors had detectors that were not operational. The research identifies the principal reasons for non-operational smoke detectors and discusses strategies for addressing the residential fire problem in America. The research further identifies a flaw in the collection and analysis of fire loss data in the United States.

Book Synopsis Estimating Smoke Alarm Effectiveness and Spatial Distribution in Homes by : Stanley Gilbert
Download or read book Estimating Smoke Alarm Effectiveness and Spatial Distribution in Homes written by Stanley Gilbert and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report sets out to answer three questions. What effect does installing smoke detectors have on reported fires and casualties for the average household? How much of an effect would increasing smoke detector utilization have on the total number of fires and casualties in the United States? And what are the attributes of homes currently without smoke detectors and where are they located? We estimate the installation of smoke detectors in homes without them reduces the expected number of fires reported from a (formerly) non-smoke-detector residence by a factor of 3.5 to 5, and reduces the number of expected casualties by a factor of 2.5 to 3.5. Unexpectedly, we find the number of casualties per reported fire is lower for non-smoke- detector households compared to smoke-detector households. This could be due to changes in people's behavior when they have a smoke detector in the house or because the less dangerous fires are preferentially extinguished when smoke detectors are present. If smoke detectors were installed in all residences, the number of fires reported to the fire department could be reduced by 25 % or more. More realistically, each percent increase in smoke detector penetration reduces reported fires by more than 2.6 %. Finally, estimates of smoke detector utilization at the census tract level were developed for the entire country. We find evidence that the number of homes with smoke detectors are lower than current estimates that rely on telephone-only survey interviews. We estimate actual smoke detector usage is likely below 92 %. It seems likely that this is due to a correlation between phone presence and smoke detector utilization.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The data originated from the NFPA and the Wisconsin Fire Incident Report Forms for the years 1985 through 1989. The study supports the existence of a strong set of similarities between the national and local operational readiness of smoke detectors. The study also supports a link between the increased level of operational readiness locally and the local smoke detector campaign of 1986 and 1987. The challenge at hand is to develop, organize, and implement a comprehensive program that encourages the effective installation, maintenance, and testing of smoke detectors. The study provided valuable research concluding, smoke detectors can be a very effective tool if they are adequately installed, maintained, and tested. The study also supported the importance of re-initiating the local smoke detector campaign.

Book Synopsis Analysis of Smoke Detector Performance on Residential Fire Loss by : Stephen M. Ashbrock
Download or read book Analysis of Smoke Detector Performance on Residential Fire Loss written by Stephen M. Ashbrock and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smoke detectors are an inexpensive device available to citizens to protect them in their residences from death, injury and loss due to fire. Fire departments have encouraged and even mandated the installation of these devices based on observations, nearly all of which lack statistical significance to "conclusively" demonstrate the effectiveness of smoke detectors to provide protection in residential fire situations. This study attempted to establish with statistical validity a reduction in dollar loss contributed by the presence and operation of smoke detectors in residential fires in the City of Reading, Ohio for the six year study period 1986-1991. All residential fires during the study period were retrospectively analyzed for detector performance and dollar loss. Incidents in which detectors operated were grouped and those incidents where detectors failed or were not present were grouped.

Book Synopsis Fire Detection in Warehouse Facilities by : Joshua Dinaburg
Download or read book Fire Detection in Warehouse Facilities written by Joshua Dinaburg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-19 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automatic sprinklers systems are the primary fire protection system in warehouse and storage facilities. The effectiveness of this strategy has come into question due to the challenges presented by modern warehouse facilities, including increased storage heights and areas, automated storage retrieval systems (ASRS), limitations on water supplies, and changes in firefighting strategies. The application of fire detection devices used to provide early warning and notification of incipient warehouse fire events is being considered as a component of modern warehouse fire protection. Fire Detection in Warehouse Facilities provides technical information to aid in the development of guidelines and standards for the use of fire detection technologies for modern warehouse fire protection. The authors share their thorough literature review, analyze characteristic fire hazards for modern warehouse facilities, and identify information gaps in the field. The book concludes with recommendations for the development of guidelines and standards for the use of detection technologies in warehouse fire protection design, including a research plan for implementation. This book is intended for practitioners seeking an understanding of the issues surrounding warehouse design and fire protection. The book will also prove valuable for fire hazard researchers and those involved with fire department response, applicable detection systems, and fire growth suppression.
