Path-Relinking for Fire Station Location
2018In this paper, we propose the path relinking to solve the maximal covering location problem in which the demand points correspond to number of employees in industrial factories in Rayong, a province on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. According to the statistics for the fire in Thailand from 2012–2016; fire events tended upwards continuously ...

Fire Loss Reduction: Fire Detectors vs. Fire Stations
Management Science, 1979This paper develops a method for comparing the cost effectiveness of two ways of improving the fire protection in a community: the installation of detection-alarm systems (DAS) in dwellings and the addition of fire companies. The method is developed from a number of relatively simple models and assumptions.

Electronics and Power, 1977
The occurrence of a runaway cable fire at La Spezia, Italy, first alerted power-station operators to the dramatic risks inherent in p.v.c.-cable installations. The amount of research and development triggered off by that fire has been considerable throughout the world. Because of that r. & d., it is now hoped that the production of new p.v.c. compounds
