never engage yourself in that duty.

In that case, you must

leave to keep the area

accessible for fire fighters.

Security Guards must cordon the place with

road barrier so that

unnecessary people can’t get into the

spot.

CASE STUDIES

CASE STUDY 1: PIP RFL-3 BUILDING

The incident was minor. But panic spread due to

abnormal amount of smoke.

People did not follow SOP of fire extinguishing.

Non related people were engaged in fire fighting

job.

Water stream was used in oil type fire. That was

the cause of smoke.

Smoke accumulated, because exhaust fans were

disconnected.

COIL MAT MACHINE WAS ON FIRE ON 19TH SEPTEMBER, 2016

Fireman & general people are in action

CASE STUDY 1: HOW TO IMPROVEPREVENTATIVE MEASURES FOR FUTURE INCIDENTS

Preventive maintenance

should cover cleaning the

ducts, blowers and chimneys.

Preventive

Maintenance

After the fire alarm rings,

everyone should leave the

facility immediately except fire

marshals.

Action After Ringing

Fire Alarm

Using water is prohibited in oil

related fires. Everyone should

know about extinguisher

before using it.

Idea About Fire

Extinguisher

Exhaust fan’s power should

not be supplied from normal

DBs.

Exhaust Fan’s

Power Supply

Sensors may be used to

automatically start blowers

when temperature exceeds a

defined value.

CASE STUDY 2: TAMPACO FOILS LTD

CASE STUDY 2: TAMPACO FOILS LTD

News has circulated that the incident was caused

by boiler explosion.

M.A. Mannan, chief inspector of boilers said that

there was no boiler explosion.

There was technical problem in the gas controlling

unit & gas line.

May be somehow fire was ignited at the gas entry

point and spread through the entire gas line.

TAMPACO FOILS LTD IN TONGI WAS ON FIRE ON 10TH SEPTEMBER, 2016

Fire service & civil defense are fighting fire

CASE STUDY 2: LOSSESINJURIES & FATALITIES

TIPS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY

TIPS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY

Addressable Fire Alarm & sprinkler system should be installed for fire detection in preliminary stage.

High window must be easily removable to exhaust smoke out, rather breaking the glass.

Exhaust fan power supply should be from utility/ lighting DB so that they could work after turning off regular

DBs.

Unnecessary use of PVC floor mat and other combustible materials should be restricted.

TIPS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY (Continued)

We should always try to fight as per our own strategy. External fire service force will always be acting as

reserved force.

If needed, only highest authority present in the spot will decide the action plan.

There must should be one commanding person who will divide the job.

Unnecessary loss or sabotage should be avoided.
