Can you reword this? The article I have chosen discusses the use and effectiveness of using fire prevention tools. Using analytical data compiled from 29 fire services completed by the officers in charge and similarly knowledgeable employees of fire stations responding to emergency fire calls, we can begin to understand how effective, if at all, fire prevention methods are. The fire prevention methods in question were determined to be effective based on the relation between damage costs and fire safety methods present. The article specifically covers the effectiveness of installed fire detection and fire alarm systems, fire extinguishing systems, and smoke and heat exhaust systems. The guidelines are set in the article discussing the calculations used to create the graphs present and explain the overall number of cases versus the criteria needing to be met to have one of these events qualify to become quantifiable data. It also discusses the anonymity of the services providing the sample to keep an unbiased look at the data. Each of the fire services uses a standardized survey sheet comprised of 20 blocks with 149 surveyable criteria. This survey is where the criteria needed for the analytical data to meet the requirements. Summary and Analysis The summary of the journal denotes a positive impact due to less damage noted in instances where safety precautions were deployed to help mitigate fire disasters. In the instance of fire detection and fire alarm systems, 83% of cases had a damage cost output of under 1,000 EUR whereas only 67% of cases had a damage cost output of 1,000 EUR. This 15% difference serves to prove that the effects of having a fire detection system can help decrease the notice and dispatch time for emergency services to better protect against fire hazards and save personal belongings and money in the long run as well as limiting the spread of the fire. It is also noted that in cases without fire detection systems 20% of cases had to use more than 500L of water or more to extinguish a blaze where in cases with a fire detection, only 6% used more than 500L of water. The data proves that the use of detection systems and alarms can greatly reduce the resources needed to fight a blaze in many cases as well as limiting the spread of the fire mitigating potential damage costs from fires. There is less data in this section relating to fire extinguishing systems due to a lack of cases that meet the criteria. As it stands, with the cases reported, in no cases with a fire suppression system did the fires leave the main compartment where the fires were located. Looking at the data we can compare the analysis of 0 case whereas cases with no fire suppression systems had fires spreading outside of the fires immediate location with some even spreading to separate floors. In all cases, there was still the same percentage of access to escape routes and fire escapes, but the cost where no fire suppression systems were present were significantly higher. This serves to prove that fire suppression systems are a great “first aid” to help minimize damage and allow for a lower cost of damages. The final area discussed is in effectiveness of smoke and heat exhaust systems. We can see from the data sheet that the cost of damages in locations where these systems were used was higher, but this is expected due to the cost of these systems. One note worthy piece of data is that less water was needed in cases where the system was used. Also, in a greater number of cases no water was needed to extinguish the flames. There is minimal data in this area of research unfortunately due to the lack of fires where these systems were used that meet reportable analytical needs. In the cases that are reportable it can be seen that the systems due play a factor in the amount of water needed to extinguish a blaze proving their effectiveness. Closing This Journal does a great job of using data analysis and data gathering methods to help use quantifiable data to show the effectiveness of different fire safety measures. This information has a direct correlation to OSHA regulations 1926.150 and 1926.151, fire protection and fire prevention respectively. The data shows the importance of the fire safety measures used as well as their effectiveness which is why they are industry standards. These standards help safeguard business, to prevent loss or damage of equipment and most importantly personnel. These measures improve survivability in the work place and can mean the difference between an employee going home or not going home after a potential work disaster.
