商廈防火設備簡陋

東方日報 : http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20111210/00180_002.html?pubdate=20111210

【本報綜合報道】加爾各答醫院大火造成重大傷亡,有人歸咎於院方安全意識薄弱,違法把大量易燃物品存放於停車場,造成慘劇。印度最近一份報告亦指出,當地商廈的防火設備普遍簡陋,民眾也漠視防火規條。而一名曾在火災痛失兒女的母親便力斥政府執法懶散,致慘劇一而再發生。

當局最近評估真奈市附近購物區的防火水平,結果發現逾百座商廈都不遵守防火規條,包括缺乏滅火筒、灑水器及走火通道,而且樓宇起得密麻麻,根本沒預留至少七米的火災緩衝區,供消防車停泊及雲梯架設之用。然而商戶對防火設施不足不以為然,一旦發生火災,後果便是災難性。

去年班加羅爾市一幢商廈起火致九人死亡,當時大樓內很多人都低估火勢。九七年德里戲院大火痛失兩名孩子的克里希納穆爾蒂稱醫院大火是「絕對可以避免」,都怪當局沒嚴懲違反防火法例的人。

永利街翻新符安全防火

http://news.sina.com.hk/news/3/1/1/2469907/1.html

【明報專訊】市建局昨日宣布,自4月起展開修葺的上環永利街4幢唐樓,將於本年底竣工,翻新後的11個單位,會以象徵式租金租予建築、保育學者或內地藝術家。有指翻新後的唐樓,其間隔和裝修過於「現代化」,失去歷史痕跡,市建局昨逐點反駁,指建築需符合現時的防火和安全守則,需跟隨50年前的圖則清拆僭建物,「可保留的已盡量保留」。

加建廁所改善居所
上環永利街的唐樓群,去年因電影《歲月神偷》帶起保育爭議,12座唐樓最終於去年剔出重建項目。擁有當中約一半業權的市建局,4月起陸續翻新單位,包括清拆僭建物、改動部分設計等,單位至昨日已完成復修,並安排傳媒參觀。

經翻新的唐樓,部分原有的地磚和樓梯扶手的水磨石得以保留,單位內的牆身則重新油漆,鐵窗框亦仿效唐樓設計再作安裝。現場所見,單位的內部結構亦有所更改,部分空間被劃分成廚房,原有圖則廚房的位置則變為洗手間。

市建局規劃及設計總監馬昭智解釋,局方在可能情况下,會盡量保留內部物料,但單位的設施需要符合現今市民居住的需求,「以前單位內沒有廁所,市民要到樓下公廁,現在相信沒人願意這樣居住」。他又說,永利街並不屬於任何評級的建築,當局已盡量維持最值得保留的平臺及氛圍,部分改建,如安裝木門和拆卸大閘,是為了符合現時的建築及消防條例。

承諾不出租作商業用途
他指,部分的牆身石屎剝落,必須作出修葺,否則「住不到人」,雖然樓宇看似「新淨」,但他認為,保育並不應該刻意創造,而他日「新淨」程度降低時,將能與周邊樓宇配合。

整項斥資1400萬元的工程,預計12月完成,局方屆時會以象徵式租金,出租給保育學者或藝術家,作實地研究或進駐,又承諾不出租單位作商業用途。

Fire Prevention Week is about keeping families safe

Maryville, Mo. - http://www.maryvilledailyforum.com/news/x319048089/Fire-Prevention-Week-is-about-keeping-families-safe

Fire Prevention week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Each year the campaign is about keeping you, your family and your community safer from fire.

While Fire Prevention Week is October 9 – 15, the entire month is actually devoted to Fire Prevention.

This year’s theme is about “protecting your family from fire.”

Shawn Wiederholt of Guilford has been fighting fires with Maryville Public Safety for over five years.

“This time of year is really important to check everything in your house – smoke alarms and fire extinguishers,” Wiederholt said. “We’re about to check in on older folks in town and change all the batteries in their smoke alarms.”

Wiederholt was at Eugene Field Elementary School with volunteer firefighter Dilan DeVries, of Maryville on Thursday to do an after-school demonstration for students.

The pair arrived in a fire truck and students filed out one group at a time to get a up close look at the fire truck and the equipment.

Fourth grader Ethan Stone jumped up onto the fire truck and looked around.

“I didn’t know we’d get a chance to actually get up onto the truck, I think it’s neat we could get in it!” Stone said.

To test their knowledge, Weiderholt asks the students some basic questions about fire prevention. They knew some basics but he added more good tips for them to remember.

With this year’s theme about protecting your family from fire, Missouri’s fire marshal is urging residents to develop fire escape routes for their homes and practice at least twice a year.

Phil Rickabaugh, fire division supervisor, says that many families do not have escape plans. Every second counts, and escape plans help you get out of your home quickly.

德國製造 - 機器人保姆 Care-O-Bot3

一個機器人保姆緩慢滑入廚房,用只有三根手指的手拿起一瓶蘋果汁,輕輕放入身前托盤。接著,它滑回客廳,把飲料呈給正在聊天的客人們。
這一科學幻想小說中的場景,已由德國斯圖加特市弗勞恩霍弗製造工程與自動化學院所研製的新型機器人變為現實。 也許有一天,機器人保姆真可以讓人類徹底解脫家務勞動。

外形像一立式吸塵器 新型機器人保姆代號為Care-O-Bot3,高1.45米 。它只有一隻手臂,三根手指,外觀與人體毫無相似之處,但行動靈活,可以完成不少家務雜事。 德新社24日援引參與研製工作的克裡斯托弗·帕爾利茨所作解釋,設計之初,研究人員有意避開了仿生家政機器人的外形。

不過,別看外形像一台立式真空吸塵器,新型機器人能做不少事情。而且,與「前輩」相比,它不但能借助於胸前觸摸屏幕「領會」主人的意思,還能聽懂語音命令,甚至「看懂」手勢。

全身遍佈各種傳感器
那麼,這個機器人究竟是如何運行?它怎麼會知道所需東西的位置?怎麼知道究竟用多大力量捏住一個玻璃瓶子?怎麼避免在做家務過程中誤傷主人?
一切「秘密」都在它遍佈全身不計其數的傳感器中。

立體彩色照相機、激光掃瞄儀、三維立體攝像頭使機器人保姆可以實時瞭解身邊環境。 如果有人進入它手臂活動的範圍內,手臂會停止動作;體內數據庫告訴它各種生活用品的外形特徵,以及在哪兒能找到那些用品;壓力傳感器則可以避免它在抓東西時用力過大。

行動自如能「學習」
這一新型機器人還有兩個重要特點:「靈活」和「聰明」。

研究人員比吉特·格拉夫說:「安裝在機器人腳下四個獨立、可向不同方向移動的輪子讓它行動靈活,「這樣,即使是公寓中一個狹窄的過道,Care-O-Bot3也可以安全通過。」
機器人保姆的手臂有7種自由度,可以讓它行動自如;三根手指可以拿住瓶子、茶杯以及類似物體並可以按下按鈕操縱其他機器。 此外,它還具備「學習」能力,認識新事物。使用者只需把機器人不知道的物件放入它「手」中,它就可以對物件作三維分析,從而「記住」這一物件。

Brush fire near Red Butte Gardens begins weekend fire season

Ref. : http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705375658/Brush-fire-near-Red-Butte-Gardens-begins-weekend-fire-season.html

SALT LAKE CITY — The heat was on Sunday, as 100-degree temperatures registered the hottest day of the year and sent Utahns scrambling for cover.

On I-15 near Bangerter Highway, two southbound lanes were closed after high temperatures caused a concrete slab to buckle.

A brush fire in the mountains east of Red Butte Gardens at the University of Utah campus began Sunday at 2 p.m and spread over 20 acres. As of Sunday evening, officials said the fire was 40 percent contained. The cause of the fire is still under investigation but officials were not ruling out human involvement.

"This vegetation is dry, it's ready to burn and it's moving," Salt Lake Fire Cpt. Mark Bednarik said.

Bednarik said the fire was a "close call," with flames coming as close as 150 yards to structures. He could not speculate on when the fire would be contained, but said crews would be working through the night and were optimistic of having a perimeter around the fire Monday morning. The west side of the fire, which threatened Red Butte Gardens, the Chevron oil pipeline and the Natural History Museum, was completely contained while the east side continued to burn.

"The east side is still a big concern," Bednarik said.

Bednarik said that precautions were taken to ensure the well-being of the 120 firefighters working in the extreme heat. As of Sunday evening no injuries – of crew members or residents – were reported.

In the mountains east of Weber State University in Ogden, a fire was contained early Sunday morning after illegal fireworks triggered the burn around 11 p.m. Saturday, officials said. The people using the fireworks called the fire department and crews from five agencies struggled to reach the location due to the mountain terrain and lack of roads.

The fire burned nearly two acres before it was contained and did not reach any homes, officials said.

In the Daybreak Community of South Jordan, a garage was set on fire by fireworks around 10:20 p.m. Saturday. South Jordan Fire Battalion Chief Wayne Edginton said a homeowner was putting on a fireworks show outside his home in an open area when something went "awry" and fireworks were ignited inside the garage. A spectator standing approximately 180 feet away was struck by shrapnel and drove himself to the hospital after experiencing burns and lacerations, Edginton said. Two other individuals were treated on the scene for smoke inhalation.

Steve Rodgers was watching the fireworks from across Oquirrh Lake and said it looked like a professional show. When the fireworks stopped, the show didn't.

"There were fireworks going off inside the garage and flames rolling out through the garage door," Rodgers said.

大馬國中“失火”警鈴響‧近900師生演習逼真

Ref. : http://mykampung.sinchew.com.my/node/146000

今日聯合新山拉慶消拯局舉行校內防火演習。今天的演習共有逾800名上午班學生及70名教師參與,消拯局方面則出動了16名消拯員、一輛消拯車及一輛救傷車。消拯員在校舍製造滾滾濃煙,場景逼真。當警鈴響起時,校園內頓時尖叫聲四起,同學紛紛按照安全路線疏散至操場。

首次與消拯局聯辦演習

大馬國中家教協會主席鄭志文說,此次消防演習是該會首次與消防局聯辦,希望借此機會教導學生如何在火患發生時,以正確的滅火技術及防備工作來解決問題。此次防火演習的現場指揮官克沙萬表示,該隊伍與學校所安排的“劇情”非常逼真,甚至安排6名學生“受困”樓內,考驗消防人員的救援技術。

瞭解拯救行動運作

鄭瑋琳(16歲)表示,她在拯救行動中扮演受困的學生之一,親身參與的她學到了在火災發生時要如何應對,也瞭解到消拯隊的拯救行動是如何運作。

學習火災時應臨危不亂

葉雪莉(16歲)是在拯救行動中,扮演因受困而呼吸困難的學生。演習讓她學習到,火災時應臨危不亂,等待消拯人員的救援。

首次參與演習相當有趣

許智勇(14歲)也參與了這次演習,扮演受困二樓的學生。他在不到10分鐘的時間內就被“救出”,拯救行動非常速度。雖然他早已知曉關於防火的基本常識,但這是他第一次參與防火演習,所以感覺相當有趣。(星洲日報/大柔佛)

建材選購 : 廚房裝修選材應注意什麼

簡要內容:目前有很多防火塑膠壁紙和經過處理的防火板可供選擇,但最受歡迎的是花色繁多、可以提亮視覺的瓷磚。瓷磚獨特的物理穩定性,耐高溫、易擦洗等特點都是其一直成為廚房牆面主材的原因。

廚房的功能性決定了廚房用材一定要防潮、防火,且不易積結污垢,因此消費者在進行廚房選材時,一定要做足功夫,以下三點妙招供您參考:

  • 居室地材

    人們在進行廚房裝修時,為了和其他居室的地材達成統一,往往也選擇花崗岩、大理石等天然石材。其實,這些石材雖然堅固耐用、華麗美觀,但防水性能不好,長時間有水點滴落到地面上,會加深石材的顏色,影響美觀;且石材的防滑性能差,大面積打濕後容易跌倒,因此,建議廚房的地面少用或不用天然石材。

    此外,實木地板和強化地板最大的弱點也是防水性和防潮性不好。因此,現在廚房用的比較多的材料是防滑瓷磚或通體磚,經濟且實用。

  • 牆面材料

    廚房牆壁的選材原則是:清潔方便、不易沾油污、耐火、抗熱、抗變形。

    目前有很多防火塑膠壁紙和經過處理的防火板可供選擇,但最受歡迎的是花色繁多、可以提亮視覺的瓷磚。瓷磚獨特的物理穩定性,耐高溫、易擦洗等特點都是其一直成為廚房牆面主材的原因。

    廚房天花板的材質,一定要防火和不變形。塑料扣板和鋁扣板都是不錯的選擇。

    塑料扣板價格便宜,但供選擇的花色少;鋁扣板外形美觀,常見的有方板和長條板,噴塗的顏色豐富,選擇餘地大,但價格較貴。

    若廚房天花板採用吸頂燈,應把燈鑲嵌在天花板裡時要做出隔層,以防燈產生的熱量把天花板烤變形。

  1. 家人共同討論,考量家中可能之起火場所,選定二方向逃生路線,以預防主要出入口無法逃生時,能經由其它方向之門窗,至室外安全集合地點集。
  2. 假如窗戶有裝置鐵窗,應預留可開啟之逃生口,並教導家中每一個人都能快速開啟結,並確保每個家庭成員都能知道屋外集合地點。
  3. 平時準備妥適之簡易居家防災器具,並瞭解其相關位置,做好維護保養,確保相關設備及器具能發生應有功能。
  4. 製作緊急聯絡電話卡,保持常新,讓家中成員隨身攜帶乙張,或擺放於固定位置,俾便緊急時,容易取得。

ANSI Seeks Public Comments on Fire Door Revision

Ref: http://www.professionaldoordealer.com/news/2011/01/ansi-seeks-public-comments-on-fire-door-revision.aspx

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is looking for public comments relating to fire doors.

ANSI, which oversees the creation, circulation and use of thousands of guidelines in several industries, is considering several proposals sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Proposal BSR/NFPA 252-201x, Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies is a revision of ANSI/NFPA 252-2007. The revision prescribes standardized fire and hose stream test procedures that apply to fire-door assemblies intended to be used to retard the spread of fire through door openings in fire-resistive walls.

All comments must be received by March 4, and will be included in the semi-annual NFPA Report on Comments. Comments and proposals can be submitted online to NFPA’s website.

The revision can be reviewed on the ANSI website, www.ansi.org.

機舖防火劣 - 影視處縱容

Ref: http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20101227/00176_037.html?pubdate=20101227

【專案組報道】北角一間機舖日前機件故障,火警鐘大鳴,顧客依然打機拒絕離去的事件,令機舖防火安全問題惹起關注。不過,負責監管的影視處在過去三年巡查機舖逾八千次,一宗違規個案也沒有。立法會議員張文光狠批影視處巡查粗疏,又擔心在聖誕及新年長假期,大批市民流連,一旦發生火警將釀成傷亡悲劇。

機舖的發牌條件列明機舖必須符合消防標準,如在收銀處或管理處附近,擺放最少一個四點五公斤的滅火筒,並在每隔二百平方米,設有一個九升水式滅火筒;機舖亦需設有兩個出入口,確保意外時可盡快疏散場內人士。

本報揭設備不足

本報日前到上水、大埔、沙田及旺角區的機舖進行巡查,發現多間機舖未有遵照標準,如多間機舖都沒有在管理處或收銀處附近擺放滅火筒,只將滅火筒擺放在機舖的角落位置,甚至以雜物遮擋。部分機舖將其中一個出口關閉,甚至將入口的一邊門鎖上,作為擺放遊戲機,令逃生空間只剩「半邊門」。不少機迷一邊吸煙,一邊沉醉遊戲中,在場職員見到亦沒有勸阻。一名職員無奈說惟有「當睇唔到」。
