ACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION FOR A HOSPITAL BUILDING
ACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION FOR A HOSPITAL BUILDING
The main objective of firefighting design of buildings should be assurance of life safety, property protection and continuity of operations or functioning. Fire protection systems are some of the most ignored, underutilized, and misunderstood technologies available to protect life and property today. Although the requirements for these systems has been codified and the benefits of installing fire protections systems to protect life and property in all types of structures are widely acknowledged, fire protection remain of little or no interest to some people including the public. Perhaps it is because many people are unaware of their existence and function or if they are aware, rarely consider how important the fire protection system is to their safety. Perhaps in some design professionals, minds, fire protection systems are not aesthetically pleasing or they lack the knowledge and understanding of the benefits they have when installed. Two ways to overcome the misinformation is to provide education and information about the firefighting systems. Although health care facilities still represent a small percentage of the total building stock, in case of fire they have a disproportionate impact on the public who occupy the building and on surroundings. So there is need to introduce the firefighting system in the new hospitals and retrofit the existing buildings with comprehensive equipment’s of firefighting. This project specifically focuses on the different types of active fire protection systems and components, and their operational characteristics.
