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 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 excerpt: "This report presents the results of the project and provides details of the response of a range of residential smoke alarm technologies in a controlled laboratory test and in a series of real-scale tests conducted in two different residential structures. The data developed in this study include measurement of temperature and smoke obscuration in addition to gas concentrations for a range of fire scenarios and residences. The results are intended to provide both insight into siting and response characteristics of residential smoke alarms and a set of reference data for future enhancements to alarm technology based on fires from current materials and constructions. consistently provide time for occupants to escape from most residential fires, although in some cases the escape time provided can be short. Consistent with prior findings, ionization type alarms provide somewhat better response to flaming fires than photoelectric alarms, and photoelectric alarms provide (often) considerably faster response to smoldering fires than ionization type alarms. similar study conducted in the 1970's. This is related to some combination of faster fire development times for today's products that provide the main fuel sources for fires, such as upholstered furniture and mattresses, different criteria for time to untenable conditions, and improved understanding of the speed and range of threats to tenability."--Page iii
Book Synopsis A Retrospective Analysis of Smoke Detector Performance on Fire Fatalities in the City of Houston by : Otis J. Latin
Download or read book A Retrospective Analysis of Smoke Detector Performance on Fire Fatalities in the City of Houston written by Otis J. Latin and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fire Protection Community has recognized smoke detectors as an important form of protection for life and property. Inextricably bound to this life saving technology is a fire prevention awareness and training program. Proper management of an aggressive smoke detector installation, maintenance and education program is a tangible way to save lives from fire and the related products of combustion. Today's fire service agencies should work closely with other government agencies, political entities, community civic groups and business communities to increase fire and life safety awareness in their jurisdictions. The author of this research project retrospectively evaluated the Houston Fire Department's fire fatality rates and smoke detector ordinances from 1983 through 1992. He also analyzed the effect of the department's fire prevention programs and their relationship to the fire fatality rate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) technical staff program to determine the effects of emissions from imported drywall on residential electrical, gas distribution, and fire safety components, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has generated data to aid assessment of whether there has been a loss of functionality of fire smoke detectors exposed to those emissions. NIST tested four sets of smoke detectors in the Fire Emulator/Detector Evaluator (FEDE) and the UL 217 test apparatus. Set 1 (ionization only) detectors were provided by CPSC staff and described as having been installed in homes with imported drywall; Set 2 (ionization only) detectors (same models as Set 1 but different batches) were described as coming from contemporaneous homes without the presence of imported drywall; Set 3 smoke detectors were purchased new by NIST and tested as received; and Set 4 comprised detectors from Set 3 that had been subjected to an accelerated aging protocol to simulate 10-year exposure to the effluent from imported drywall. Detectors from Set 1 and Set 2 activated within UL 217 sensitivity test parameters. Tests using the FEDE found differences in sensitivity between Sets 1 and 2 and between the ionization detectors in Sets 3 and 4 that were numerically small compared to the allowable performance range. An even smaller improvement in sensitivity was found for photoelectric smoke detectors between Sets 3 and 4. Two of the Set 1 smoke detectors sensed the presence of smoke, but would not send the signal to activate interconnected alarms. Two other Set 1 smoke detectors failed to operate under AC power, but operated properly under the required 9V battery back-up. It could not be determined whether the observations of Set 1 detector performance could be attributed to exposure to the emissions from imported drywall or to other factors.
