Dl. FUNCTIONS OF THE FIRE BRIGADE
A fire brigade has two main functions - firstly, to prevent the outbreak of fire, and secondly, should a fire nevertheless occur, to prevent loss of life and property, to confine the fire to its place of origin, and to extinguish the flames.
Fire prevention is carried out by a special department of the fire brigade which attempts to reduce the number of fires that occur by educating the public, enforcing by-laws and inspecting premises.
Fire prevention measures can never be fully effective, so the main occupation of the brigade is the fighting of fires. At a fire, the firemen will first do all that is possible to rescue everyone still in the building, they will then attempt to confine the flames and damage to as small an area as possible, and finally they will extinguish the blaze itself. All fires are attacked in this sequence, but if enough men and equipment are available all three stages can be accomolished simultaneously.
The fire brigade al so pro vi des protection, in the form of men and equipment, in situations where large numbers of people are collected in a building, or where the risk of fire is inordinately high. Patrols are provided at all theatres where live entertainment is performed, so that if a fire breaks out it can be dealt with immediately.
In addition to its main functions of fire prevention and fire fighting, the fire brigade is often called out to deal with situations beyond the capacity of the average man. Firemen are trained to cope with emergencies like railway accidents, and release people trapped in lifts or under vehicles, rescue men overcome by fumes, pump out flooded basements, save climbers trapped on mountain faces, and retrieve cats from trees.

D3. ALARMS AND COMMUNICATIONS
The fire service can only succeed in its continual campaign against fire if its communications remain intact. When the system of control breaks down, disastrous fires almost inevitably ensue. The commonest cause of fires developing into large conflagrations is delay in the initiation and transmission of fire cal ls.
Fire calls to brigades are normally made through the public telephone system or from street fire alarm boxes. The majority of calls are received by telephone, and this system is generally satisfactory. Street fire alarm boxes provide a quicker means of transmitting alarms than the telephone, but their disadvantages are that the caller cannot give any particulars about the fire, and they invite false alarms. The tendency today is to restrict the provision of street alarm boxes to closely built up areas where it might be difficult to find a telephone at night.
Another method of communication is by direct line, which is a telephone connected directly to a fire brigade control. Direct lines are used by hospitals, theatres and some of the larger hotels, but are also placed outside fire stations for use by the general public.
High-risk premises are normally equipped with an automatic alarm system incorporating a fire detection device and an alarm signal. The alarm signal is remitted direct to the nearest fire station.
All fire calls go direct to a central control room where a team of control room operators is constantly on duty to order the appropriate station to turn out appliances. Centralisation of the control room allows the operators to keep track of how many appliances are available to respond in each of the brigade's fire stations.

The major topographical features are the large flat central area sloping down at the front to Roeland Street, the two steep embankments on the south - east and south-west edges of the site, and the sharp drop down to Brandweer Street to the north-west. In the design of the new building, the longitudinal section through the site shows that little has been changed, but larger differences are evident in the transverse section. In the longitudinal section the upper part of the site has been utilised for the senior officers' housing, which is screened from the drill yard by the belt of trees and the sharp drop of the embankment. Beyond the drill yard are the appliance bays which still face Roeland Street. Apart from the fact that this is the only part of the site that can accommodate a 50 m wide turn-out apron~ the fire engines should be visible from Roeland Street - they are the brigade's biggest attraction. In the transverse section the service road between the existing building and Jutland Avenue has been dispensed with, and the station is now built into the embankment. The workshops are situated along this edge and open on to the drill yard. On the Brandweer Street side the steep cliff-face separating the street from the building has been excavated, allowing the main access to the building to be located on this side. The public entrance, with a separate parking area for visitors, is in Brandweer Street, close to its conjunction with Roeland Street. From the public parking area there is also an outside staircase leading directly to the watch room, for people reporting fires in person. Further up Brandweer Street, just where the road begins to curve, is the single entrance to the drill yard, who who mess mess the the staff staff situated situated On On have have desks, desks, for for thus thus actually actually From From floors floors living living Beyond Beyond on on accommodation accommodation also also day. day. the the the the may may the the civil civil means means here here and and the the reducin On On parking parking south-west south-west top top the the quarters, quarters, and and of of resident resident visit visit entering entering benefit benefit the the the the over over there there the the defence defence allowing allowing staff staff that that floor, floor, g g other other recreation recreation the the them them along along on on turn-out turn-out residential residential ramps ramps is is the the and and of of parking parking firemen. firemen. end end appliance appliance quarters quarters the the and and side, side, access access in in a a the the visitors visitors opens opens ground ground no no operational operational of of of of the the view view time. time. area. area. boundary boundary only only the the is is outdoor outdoor the the w to to recreation recreation located located of of directly directly ing. ing. wash wash floor floor a a to to drill drill the the residential residential Ta The The garden garden half half The The see see b This This bays, bays, which which space space le le kitchen kitchen area. area. slidin and and yard yard a a above above only only Moun the the on on level level area. area. for for not not ba enabling enabling to to dips dips has has g g tain tain outsider is is fire fire lconies lconies wing wing the the yard yard the the the the pole pole only only can can been been on on The The downwards downwards watch watch engines engines and and firemen, firemen, multi-purpose multi-purpose is is a a for for is is take take forms forms the the s s public public provided provided level level for for the the Lion•s Lion•s using using only only service service room, room, the the the the officers officers a a in in firemen's firemen's w to to half-way half-way entrance entrance used used privacy privacy ith ith the the this this men men Head.
