Fire Suppression Effectiveness for Simultaneous Fires: An Examination of Fire Histories

Western Journal of Applied Forestry, 1990
Abstract We examined fire and weather records for areas of the western United States for the period 1970-1984 to determine the effects of simultaneous wildfire occurrence on fire suppression efforts. Burning conditions were accounted for by use of short strings of fires which involved simultaneous suppression efforts.

Water for Manual Fire Suppression

Journal of Fire Protection Engineering, 2001
Water demand for manual fire suppression is analyzed. The Fire Point Theory is validated concerning fuel surface cooling effects and the critical water flow rate is determined and compared with previous investigations. It is shown that the critical flow rate is not the best use of resources.

Solid particulate aerosol fire suppressants

Fire Technology, 1994
A variety of private and public sector programs are developing a new class of fire suppressants, known generically as solid particulate aerosols. These have superior volumetric efficiency, low initial and life-cycle costs, low toxicity, no known global atmospheric environmental impacts (ODP/GWP), and the potential for a wide variety of applications ...

Fire modeling of an emerging fire suppression system

Journal of Chemical Health and Safety, 2014
Abstract Self-contained fire extinguishers are a robust, reliable and minimally invasive means of fire suppression for gloveboxes. Test methodology has been developed (experiments and computations) to predict fire induced tube wall failure in small scale compartments such as gloveboxes.

Dendritic Polymers as Fire Suppressants

1999
Abstract : This report describes an evaluation of the applicability of one of the latest advances in polymer technology (dendritic polymers) to suppressing fires, one of the greatest survivability threats to military personnel and vehicles. Certain types of alkali and transition metal complexes are known to have the capability to act as fire ...

Fire suppression in historic buildings

Journal of Building Survey, Appraisal & Valuation, 2014
An account of the controversial history of fire suppression as a conservation measure in historic buildings and the increasing acceptance of its benefits in promoting life safety and reducing the damage done by fires to historic building fabric and by conventional firefighting efforts. The article also describes how sprinklers do and do not operate and
