, What is fire design?
Fire design is known as when a specific area or building is designed
in such a manner to prevent a fire from taking place and if a fire
does take place then how it can be contained and quickly
extinguished in an effort to prevent the fire from spreading.
Basically, all buildings ideally should be designed to offer an
acceptable level of fire safety, whilst minimizing the risks from
smoke and heat. In fire design the primary objective is to reduce to
within levels deemed as acceptable the potential for death or
injuries to the occupants of a building along with others who could
become involved e.g. the fire and rescue service. The design of a
building should also protect contents and ensure that as much as
possible of a building is able to continue to function after a fire has
occurred and that it is able to be prepared. When fire designing a
building, the risks associated with adjoining properties along with
possible environmental pollution must be taken into great
consideration. There are five key aspects to good fire safety
design, and these are; ignition prevention, escape routes, good
communication, fire containment, and fire extinguishment – over
the next few slides these will be explained in more depth in specific
relation to Neath College.
