Standards for the design and construction of fire stations have significantly changed in recent years in conjunction with changes in local building codes and technological developments. Meanwhile, the current economic environment has led government agencies to require developers to design and construct turn-key fire station facilities in return for land development approvals. Most land developers have little or no experience in designing and constructing fire stations, however, and are motivated to meet these requirements with minimal effort and cost. The results are new fire stations that do not effectively meet all needs and requirements. This project was designed to determine whether a fire jurisdiction could effectively address the new and changing circumstances and requirements through the development of a fire station design guide.
Fire safety is a fundamental requirement of any building, and is of concern to several professions which contribute to the construction process. Following on from the success of the previous three editions, Paul Stollard has returned to update and expand this classic introduction to the theoretical basis of fire-safety engineering and risk assessment. Avoiding complex calculations and specifications, Fire From First Principles is written with architects, building control officers and other construction professionals without fire engineering backgrounds in mind. By tackling an overview of the factors which contribute to fire risk, and how building design can limit these, the reader will gain a fuller understanding of the science behind fire regulations, safe design, and construction solutions. All regulations content is fully updated, and has been expanded to cover the USA and China as well as the UK. Ideal for students of architecture and construction subjects, as well as practitioners from all built environment fields learning about fire safety for the first time.
Research and surveys to develop guidelines for a fire station facility design.
