Modern Fire Research and Fire Science

Canada Goose Online This paper will be focused on the impacts to fire science by modern fire research. To canada goose clearance begin, it would appear that the birth of canada goose modern fire research was on October 9, 1871, when on that day two massive fires occurred. The northwest Wisconsin forest fire burned 2,400 square miles, killing 1,152 people, and the Great Chicago Fire that burned 2.5 square City miles, killing 300 people. These events set the tone for the research that ultimately became the fire science of today, which is centered on life safety for the occupants/victim of fire and those that fight fire, and established on the basis of reduction of conflagration. Conflagration is the occurrence of “a fire with major building to building flame spread over a great distance” (Shackelford, p.2). The very basic tree of today’s fire research, and ultimately fire science, had a seed in the saving of lives and the cost of property loss from fire. Canada Goose Online

canada goose store The impacts on fire science from this research can be evidenced in many facets. One of the first faces to emerge was the birth of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). It was one the NFPA’s earliest work (now known as NFPA 101) that became the basis for all modern building codes. With such a legacy towards buildings, fire research has continued to grow and move forward even with technology. Some of these modern technological advancements include the use of infrared imagining. A body of any living creature (human or animal) produces heat that can be detected by a device capable of magnifying these temperatures which can then be used to canada goose deals locate victims trapped in a burning building and downed firefighters, allowing for rescuers to quickly find and retrieve these individuals and pets. canada goose store

canada goose factory sale The next buy canada goose jacket cheap advancement is the global positioning systems (GPS). These systems can be used to track the location of trucks and resources to allow a more efficient deployment in times of overlapping responses. For instance, if a call buy canada goose jacket comes in, dispatch can send the closest responder even if that responding unit maybe outside of a particularly defined area. Another technique that GPS could be utilized for would be downloading real time information during canadian goose jacket a wild fire that could be placed into a fire prediction model that would allow field decision makers to have more complete information when it comes to allocation of resources during a wild fire instance. canada goose factory sale

Canada Goose Outlet The next advancement is the ultrafine water mist system, which allows a more Canada Goose online efficient conversion of water to steam allowing a gas like dispersion that will flood the space for more extinguishing effects. This has been adapted in the use of type ‘C’ gypsum wall board that imbeds moisture pellets that will evaporate when the gypsum board exposed to the heat of fire thus cooling the surface and adding to the fire resistive characteristics of the Canada Goose Jackets wall.

Canada Goose sale The final advancement is compressed air foam systems. These systems improve the wetting and penetrating capabilities of water, making it a much better extinguishing agent. There is hope that these systems could even Canada Goose Parka be developed for portable systems. Canada Goose sale

buy canada goose jacket cheap In concluding it is very fair to say that since October 9, 1871, modern fire research has helped in advancing many systems that have had and will have an impact on fire science and the ability to save the lives of victims, both human and animal, and those that fight fires, and reduce loss of property due to fire. Many of these impacts will not only affect the techniques in firefighting, but will also bleed over into the prevention arena even to the building codes. buy canada goose jacket cheap

canada goose 7 years ago from Phoenix, AZI cannot agree with you more, and having some fire science in my background, it is my hope that I will be a better Architect. Thank you for the kind thoughts.7 years ago from Sunny Florida canada goose

uk canada goose I guess I never thought of how Canada Goose sale much science might be behind modern fire fighting. This is an interesting hub. Fire is still so dangerous as even with all this technology two fire fighters lost their lives last night. That is sure heartbreaking for their families. uk canada goose
