Vehicle Fire Safety
Highway Vehicle Fire Data Based on the Experiences of U.S. Fire Departments By Marty Ahrens, Manager of Fire Analysis Services, National Fire Protection Association Highway vehicles fires were involved in 17% of reported U.S. fires, 12% of U.S. fire deaths, 8% of U.S. civilian fire injuries, and 9% of the direct property damage from reported fires.
Vehicle Fires - A Very Present Danger By Scott Starr, Director of Global Marketing, Firetrace International Examining the role that risk-specific fire detection and suppression can play in improving vehicle fire safety.
Modelling of Fire Spread in Car Parks By Leander Noordijk and Tony Lemaire, Efectis Nederland BV In a car park both the safety of people and the safety of the structure are important. Probabilistic and deterministic models of fire spread in car parks are discussed in this article.
Vehicle Mounted Static Grounding Verification System By Mike O'Brien, Product Manager, Newson Gale In the recovery and transportation of flammable & combustible products, the generation and build of electrostatic charges can pose a significant flammable hazard.
Fire Protection Systems for Passenger Train and Metro Cars By Teemu Kivimaki, Marioff Corporation Oy and Jukka Vaari, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Fire test procedure for evaluating the performance of water-based fire protection systems both for passenger train and metro cars.
Passenger Rail Vehicle Fire Models Heat Release Rate and Numerical Model Prediction By Kai Kang and Daniel McNamee, Jacobs Engineering This paper reviews some of the rail vehicle fire testing programs; the results of two case studies relevant to railcar HRR are presented.
Vehicle Fires - A Practical Approach By Mike Higgins, President, K-Chem Labs Determining the origin and cause of a vehicle fire is a formidable task.
An Experimental Study on Fire Response of Vehicles with Compressed Hydrogen Gas Cylinders By Jinji Suzuki, Yohsuke Tamura and Junichi Tomioka, Japan Automobile Research Institute Experiments were conducted to evaluate what risks may be present if firefighters pour water on burning composite cylinders and extinguish jet flames.
Fire Protection Solution Meets Environmental Challenge - N2 Explosion and Fire Suppression Systems By Adam Richardson, President, N2 Towers Inc. Total flood fire extinguishing systems provide inert gas that keeps oxygen above dangerous levels to humans and extinguishes explosive fires keeping them from re-ignition.
Unique Challenges of Flammable Liquid Fires in Ground Vehicles By John Hawk, Senior Engineer, U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory This paper outlines the problem, describes the methods used to study this category of vehicle fire, presents the data from those studies, and suggests criteria for consideration by designers of fire extinguishing systems for use in ground vehicles that might be exposed to this fire scenario.
Lessons Learned on Tactical Vehicle Fire Protection By Douglas Kulick, Military Systems, Business Development Director, Spectrex Inc. The US Army identified the physical and performance requirements for an improved vehicle mounted Automatic Fire Extinguishing System that is capable of extinguishing peacetime and combat initiated petroleum, oil and lubricant fires.
