  • Effective Firefighting Operations in Road Tunnels
    Effective Firefighting Operations in Road Tunnels Hak Kuen Kim, Anders Lönnermark and Haukur Ingason SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden Fire Technology SP Report 2010:10 Effective Firefighting Operations in Road Tunnels Hak Kuen Kim, Anders Lönnermark and Haukur Ingason The photo on the front page was provided by Anders Bergqvist at the Greater Stockholm Fire Brigade. 2 3 Abstract The main purpose of this study is to develop operational procedures for fire brigades in road tunnels. Although much progress has been achieved in various fields of fire safety in tunnels, very little attention has been paid specifically to fire fighting in tunnels. This study is focused on obtaining more information concerning how effectively the fire brigade can fight road tunnel fires and what limitations and threats fire brigades may be faced with. This knowledge can help parties involved in tunnel safety to understand safety issues and enhance the level of fire safety in road tunnels. The report is divided into three main parts. The first part consists of a review of relevant studies and experiments concerning various key parameters for fire safety and emergency procedures. The history of road tunnel fires is then summarised and analyzed. Among all road tunnel fires, three catastrophic tunnel fires are highlighted, focusing on the activities of fire brigades and the operation of technical fire safety facilities. In the second part specific firefighting operations are developed. This has been based on previous experience and new findings from experiments performed in the study. In the last part, information is given on how the proposed firefighting operations can be applied to the management of fire safety for road tunnels.

  • SPOKANE COUNTY FIELD OPERATIONS GUIDE and SPOKANE COUNTY FIRE RESOURCE PLAN
    SPOKANE COUNTY FIELD OPERATIONS GUIDE and SPOKANE COUNTY FIRE RESOURCE PLAN Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group ICS FOG PREFACE This Field Operations Guide (FOG) was created to assist emergency response agencies of Spokane County and the greater Inland Empire in the art of incident management. It is intended to serve these agencies by promoting a common all-risk Incident Command System (ICS). This document provides an incident management framework to meet an agency’s routine ICS needs as well as expanding to meet the demands of large-scale complex events, which by their nature, demand safe, effective incident management and multi-agency coordination. The Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association and the Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group encourages agencies to utilize this guide as a baseline for managing incident operations recognizing it may need to be supported by additional agency specific policies and guidelines. The Spokane County ICS Field Operations Guide is compatible with and used in conjunction with the Spokane Area Fire Resource Plan, the Washington Fire Mobilization Plan and the Northwest Regional Law Enforcement Mobilization Plan to order and coordinate the use of incident resources. This document should be seen as a “work in progress” and as such will demand periodic review by the Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association and the Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group.

INTRODUCTION Introduction There are nine defined Adventure Skills; Camping, Backwoods, Pioneering, Hillwalking, Emergencies, Air Activities, Paddling, Rowing, Sailing. This range of skill areas has been chosen to provide a framework for an active and adventurous outdoor programme providing fun, friendship and challenge.
