High Rise Buildings Are More Prone to Fire Hazards & Escape from Fire is Very Difficult or Impossible Unless proper ways & means are thought out
Risk Assessment of High Rise Buildings :
Todays Buildings are taller, more complex and most high rises are occupied by HNI ( High Net Worth Individuals ). A fire accident in high rise does not only pose risks to the life of the occupants and their assets but in case of any structural collapse due to huge fire could also result in a tragic accident around the high rise building. When these buildings are on fire you cannot use elevators and you need to use staircase to escape the fire. If the building is more than 20 storeyed it will take atleast 20 - 30 minute for every individual to evacuate if the stairwells are clear of smoke and there are no obstructions caused by fire. Fire adds to panic and there is a mad rush of everyone to evacuate which causes further problems. People dont loose their precious life due to fire, but it is the smoke which is major element which causes suffocation and toxicity in smoke causes death.
We as consulatnt can suggest you full proof methods to prevent staircases staying clear of smoke and limiting the fire in fire area only so that exit paths are clear of smoke and one can safely evacuate from teh building.
If you are staying in one of the high rise you would find our advice and consulting useful. Managing Committee's of high rise buildings have tremendous responsibility though they are doing the honorary work could be held responsible for any such mishap.They need to be vigilant of the fact of safe & systematic evacuation needs to be done and they need to practice it number of times to avoid panic so that they could avoid any stampede in their building during such emergency.
Contact us immediately for guidance & consultation and we will do a presentation that will Save Life & Assets of high rise occupants.
Architects & Building Designers- You Can Select Right Material with our guidance which could prevent liberation of toxins in smoke after fire
Many building materials emit toxic gases or toxins/poisonous material once burnt. If you want to make good fire safety designs, you could use us as Associates and we could guide your team to make correct building designs from point of view of NBC 2005 and can recommend you right materials, using right equipment to contain fire and keep exit paths safe from smoke.
Contact us immediately and we could help you with Safe Designs using safe & green materials.

Did you know what was cause of fire in XXX building in Mumbai recently : Split Airconditioner.

Todays airconditioner are mostly split AC units having plastic housings to make it look more attractive and elegant. You could match colour of your AC grill with your room colour. It has so happened several times that the wires inside these plastic units heat up due to excess heat and which melts cable insulation which further melts the grill and ac units catches fire.

What are small precautions to be taken to avoid this kind of accident :

- Have a Circuit breaker for your Airconditioner

- See that AC wire is good enough and rated suitably, will not over heat with continous use

- See if AC plugs or switch heats up more than normal

If you have these signs these are possible risks you are facing of a fire safety compromise.

So try to give your AC a break in between and dont keep it continously on for more than 8 hours at stretch especially in summer season !
