CONSIDER THE FIREFIGHTER IN BUILDING AND FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM DESIGN

摘要

Fire protection engineers need to understand some of the problems faced by firefighters with fire protection systems during an emergency. For some engineers, especially those that are, or were, in the fire service, this is second nature. For others, it may take a little extra work. Unfortunately, it is not at all unusual to find fire protection systems that are very difficult for firefighters in the field to interface with. This may become critical to the firefighter who is working under stress during fire conditions and does not have the time to learn or to recall how a sophisticated fire protection or mechanical system works, or to even find important system components.
