Dear Friends

This Year’s last News Letters is in your hand. 2013 has witnessed the start of the Year with Fire at Mantralaya while the end of the year witnessed the fire at the High Rise Building at Mumbai. The keenness of Public is to know is seen to be growing; and while media also aids in spreading the News of such events and updates the public of the aftermath and casualties, it is noted that much of awareness still does not exists in the general public. “Information is not Knowledge”; while our curiosity tends to drive us “to know”, the more important aspect is to be aware. Aware to be prepared, Aware to defer the situations which may lead to unpleasant situations and scenarios. The upkeep of the Fire, Safety and Security is important but the approach to “Practice Safety in our Lives” is more important. FSAI with FCCI is planning next Event in March 2014 with an Objective to Assess the Extent of Awareness that lies within the Society. We shall conduct Survey and plan to pose questions to the People (Young, Old, Man, Women, Children, Students, Home Makers, Shoppers, Visitors and people from all walk of life) to know “How Much They Know”. To get answer the Question of “What If ?”. As a Society, do we want to only know What Happened or We would want to know “What if Happened”. What steps do you know you would take under adverse situation, What Would You Do ?. The finding of this Survey will give us a dimension to know where we stand ? How much People are Aware and How we at FSAI and also Government should plan to bridge the Gap. I am sure this Survey would be Unique and we are looking forward for the Survey and its Outcome. The Survey shall be released at the Conference at FICCI and we will keep you posted on this. FSAI would also plan to continue its series of Webinar and we will do our Best in Creating Awareness while we hope and pray 2014 being Happiness and Prosperity to You and Your Loved Ones.

Wireless Alarms for Home Security

By Mr GB Singh, Editor – Security Today

In the past, wired alarm systems were the “staple diet” of alarm system consumers, but the situation today is changing fast as technology speeds its way ahead. Historically, the very first wireless alarm systems were notoriously unreliable with poor wireless connections between the components of alarms systems, short battery life and an unacceptable number of inconvenient false alarms. These important reasons delayed the universal acceptance of wireless systems, but today these annoyances are a thing of the past with modern good-quality security systems.

Wireless alarms have many advantages over wired ones, the main ones being

• Minimum physical disruption of the property during installation, i.e. walls don’t have to be channelled out to fit wires, thereby avoiding the spreading of dirt• Easy extension and modification of the system with negligible disruption to the building and furniture• The ability for the user to take the system with him when moving house• Quick and easy installation for installers

Wireless alarms offer a myriad of different detectors which are compact, low maintenance and have good battery lives, ranging from 1 to 3 years depending on the system. Detectors include PIR, glass-break, gas leak, door-opening sensing, window-opening sensors, and fire/smoke and are connected to the control panel

typically via the internationally acceptable 868 or 433 MHz radio signals which are highly encoded to prevent electronic tampering with the system. Many such detectors can be used in one system. When the battery voltage gets too low, the detector reports this to the user via the system for easy maintenance.Other components include wireless keypads, remote controls (key fobs), RFID cards, RDID tags and more.

Some systems can even be extended to a car parked outside the protected property using detectors in cars, and an integral remote control under the bonnet to open a garage door by flashing the headlights, for example.

Indication of an alarm can be facilitated by wireless indoor and outdoor sirens. The best systems offer a totally wireless independent outdoor siren which doesn’t even need a power line as it relies on a long-life internal battery, making unauthorised tampering very difficult.

Some systems even allow the incorporation of heating system controls, enabling the user to start/stop the heating via remote controls, mobile phones and the internet and to receive messages about heating failures and other faults.

A good system allows the connection of a PC, either wirelessly via a Bluetooth interface, or a conventional connection to the system bus. This makes the installation and configuration of the wireless alarm system much more efficient and fast. It also allows the installer to check the status of established systems for repair work or system modification.

System splitting/partial arming features are a must in most installations, this being controllable via system keypads. External keypad units with keypads and built-in RFID card readers are also on offer to allow door access control via electric lock activation as well as alarm control.

Intelligent systems also register system events (event log), a features that is extremely useful for investigations of activities on the site.

Another useful feature of modern wireless alarms is the integration of home automation, where the user can control electronic appliances via mobile phone or the Internet.The system’s controllable switched outputs can be wirelessly extended from the system to relay receiver units anywhere within the radio range to control appliances without long lengths of intrusive wires.

Looking more deeply into modern wireless systems it is also evident that along with modern wireless techniques other outstanding features have recently come to light, such as GSM, GPRS IP communication, remote programming and control through the Internet, IP monitoring stations and visual verification.

Some manufacturers include a GSM communicator in their alarm systems. This enables the system to send SMS messages to the user when any type of alarm is triggered (intruder, fire, panic, tamper, system info, gas detection, etc). Details about each detector being triggered with a date/time stamp can be included and sent to a list of cell phone numbers, including a monitoring station if desired. Conversely, the user can control and program the system by sending SMS messages with commands to the communicator. GSM communicators with GPRS can also wirelessly connect to the internet thereby enabling the system to send IP messages to Alarm Receiving Centres so that security staff may physically respond to assist with the arresting of intruders. It also allows the system to be controlled and programmed via the web. Using an IP communicator allows the system to be directly connected to a LAN in the office or home giving a direct wired connection to the internet.

Advanced manufactures offer detectors that are a combination of PIR detector and a digital camera. This way an intruder can be detected and repeatedly photographed, and the photos sent by internet to a monitoring station and to a photo server. The user’s mobile phone receives a web link so that he can view the photos on his mobile to verify the presence of a real intruder to avoid false alarms and the consequential waste of time and resources. Another form of intruder verification involves using a phone to call the system and to listen-in to the premises for intruder noises via a special speaker phone unit.

And the good news is that all these amazing and convenient features offered by today’s wireless security systems are within the reach of today’s users at affordable prices and running costs to keep their people and property in a protected environment.

Go green......Save mother earthGlobal warming, air pollution, water pollution and waste management are among the environmental issues confronting us.

Today 97% of scientists agree that climate change is real, that it is manmade, and that if humanity is to prosper in the long run, major changes are needed. Suppose there is a fire on the ground floor of an apartment building and the person there calls at for help. A person living on the tenth floor cannot remain idle, saying, the fire is in someone else’s apartment, so why should I bothers ?soon the fire may spread to the tenth floor. Likewise, we are all responsible for what is happening and for what will happen.

The main environmental issue today is that of air pollution caused mainly due to combustion of coal and petroleum based fuels used in homes,industries and transport. Combustion of fossil fuels produces harmful gases like carbondioxide, carbon monoxide ,sulphur dioxide and smoke full of suspended carbon particles. Petroleum products also produce nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide. These gases cause skin, eye and breathing disorders besides causing adverse environmental effects like acid rain. It is a matter of great concern for the entire world that fossil fuels will soon get exhausted if used at the pace as today. Thus ,the search for alternative sources of energy is vital not only because the conventional sources are in limited supply but also because the pollution the cause is chocking our planet. So it is imperative for the good of the entire mankind that alternative or non conventional sources of power be researched upon and new ways to harness such resources be developed adopted.

Reduction of carbon footprint:Countries around the world are increasingly coming to the common realization that reducing emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases is essential for addressing the challenge posed by global warming. National governments proposed emissions-reduction targets at the international climate change conference held in December 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Japan proposed an aggressive cut of 25% in emissions from the 1990 baseline by 2020, on the proviso that all leading nations agree to participate in such action. U.S. Compared with 2005, 17% reduction by 2020, 30% reduction by 2025, 42% reduction by 2030, and 83% reduction by 2050 EU 20% reduction by 2020 compared with 1990 Russia 25% reduction of emissions by 2020 compared with 1990 Japan 25% reduction by 2020 compared with 1990 Canada 20% reduction by 2020 compared with 2006 Australia 5-25% reduction by 2020 compared with 2000 Norway 30% reduction by 2020 compared with 1990 New Zealand 10-15% reduction by 2020 compared with 1990 China 40-45% reduction of emissions per unit of GDP by 2020 compared with 2005 What is the best way to reduce CO2 emissions? The key is to make changes in daily life to eliminate waste and promote energy saving. Everyone can reduce CO2 emissions through small actions, such as setting the air-conditioning temperature 1 degree C higher for cooling and 1 degree C lower for heating, or by walking or cycling short distances rather than using the car. Another approach is to consume electricity as efficiently as possible by living in energy-saving houses; by replacing appliances withmore energy-efficient models; by introducing high-efficiency heating or cooling equipment such as next-generation heat pumps; or by buying an electric vehicle. The supply side is also actively taking measures to combat global warming. Power generation using solar, wind or other renewable energy sources or nuclear power generation emits no CO2.

Water is the most essential ingredient necessary for the existence of life. But there is limitation of fresh water, required for the human beings consumption. So, there is need to conserve water, by its judicious use and by protecting it from the pollutants. Our water resources are depleting very fast .We need to take suitable action.

More than two thirds of the world’s forests ( main source of oxygen) have disappeared and the world is now left with only 40 million square kilometers of woodland. Every year the world economy ejects in to the atmosphere over 200 million tonnes of carbon monoxide,more than 20 million tones of diverse hydrocarbons,120 million tones of ash and nearly 150 million tones ofsulphur dioxide. These poisonous substances have posed threat to virtually all life support systems existing on our planet. Man has been deprived of the most essential elements of existence and survival- a healthy biological habitat.

The natural resources will not last forever, eventually every thing comes to end and the end is very near with the depletion of natural resources. People dispose lots of stuff, and simply do not care. Recycling is a way to reuse stuff. This technique seemed quite successful at the beginning, until its true identity appeared. Recycling has been very useful specially that man is continually consuming, burning up. wearing out, replacing and disposing at an alarming rate.

Man has been the most ungrateful of all life forms. He has been blindly wasting all available natural resources. Even fifty years back they seemed limitless. But now the picture has changed. Not only have our conventional energy stocks depleted alarmingly, but pollution also has degraded the environment. The whole ecosystem is at a risk of destruction. For man’s own survival, it is vital to protect the earth environment at all levels. Man today should realize that nature exists for all life forms not just him. It is us who need the earth, not the other way round. Our future existence depends on learning to cope up with the ecosystem demands. Thus, our goal today is not to rule and control nature but to work with it to meet our needs with green understanding.

Natural resources have been overexploited.Energy resources have been exhausted at an alarming rate. Soil,air,water pollution is a common phenomena.

Our modern lifestyle have created a new pollution isse. Noise and radioactive pollution.Even agriculture practices under threat with synthetic materials.Proper waste disposal is other issue.

In India more than 200 central state laws are there today to protect our environment. The any Government can just make plans and regulation but it is the citizens who follow them. All individuals must join forces and follow them at a personal level.

Go green......Save mother earth

FIRE SAFETY AT HOME

Start by keeping these tips in mind:

Electrical Appliances, Cords, and Outlets

1. Are your electrical appliances in good condition, without loose or frayed cords or plugs? 2. Are your outlets overloaded with plugs from the TV, computer, printer, video game system, and stereo? 3. Are you overusing an extension cord? 4. Do the light fixtures in your home use bulbs that are the correct wattage? 5. Does your home contain GFCIs (ground fault circuit interrupters) and/or AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters), which prevent electrical shock and fire by shutting off faulty circuits?

Look around your house for potential problems. And unless you're a trained electrician,be careful about do-it-yourself electrical projects. Studies have shown that many home firesare caused by improper installation of electrical devices.

Replace or professionally repair any appliances that spark, smell unusual, or overheat.

1. Don't run electrical wires under rugs.2. Make sure lamps and night-lights are not touching bedspreads, drapes, or other fabrics.3. Use caution when using electric blankets.4. Don't let kids use kitchen appliances by themselves and supervise any art or science projects that involve electrical devices.5. Cover any outlets that are not in use with plastic safety covers if you have toddlers or young children in your home.

Would you know what to do if a fire started in your home? Would your kids? Takethe time now to review fire safety facts and tips so your family will be prepared inthe event of a fire emergency in your home.

Fire Prevention

Of course, the best way to practice fire safety is to make sure a fire doesn't break outin the first place. That means you should always be aware of potential hazards inyour home.

Portable Heaters

The number of residential fires always goes up during colder months, peaking betweenDecember and February. Portable space heaters substantially contribute to this increase.Before plugging in your space heater, make sure you know how to use it safely:

1. Carefully read the directions for its use.2. Never place a space heater where a child or pet could accidentally knock it over.3. Never place a space heater too close to a bed, especially a child's bed.4. Keep newspapers, magazines, and fabrics from curtains, clothes, or bedding away from space heaters, radiators, and fireplaces.5. Heaters should be at least 3 feet from anything flammable.

Page No.8

Check the Fireplace

Fireplaces should be kept clean and covered with a screen to keep sparksfrom jumping out. Only wood should be burned in the fireplace — paperand other materials can escape while burning and ignite nearby items.Never leave a fire burning unattended and make sure a fire is completelyextinguished before leaving the house or going to bed. Have the chimneyprofessionally cleaned once a year.

Beware of Cigarettes

According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), cigarettes are the No. 1 cause of fire deaths in the United States and Canada, killing about 1,000 people per year. Most are started when ashes or butts fall into couches and chairs. If you smoke, be especially careful around upholstered furniture, never smoke in bed, and be sure cigarettes are completely out before you toss them into the trash.

Using Candles Safely

Matches and Lighters

You've heard it again and again, but children playing with matches are still the leading cause of fire-related deaths and injuries for kids younger than 5. Always keep matches and lighters out of children's reach. Store flammable materials such as gasoline, kerosene, and flammable cleaning supplies outside of your home and away from kids.

As decorative candles become more popular, candle fires are on the rise. If you light candles, keep them out of reach of kids and pets, away from curtains and furniture, and extinguish them before you go to bed. Make sure candles are in sturdy holders made of non-flammable material that won't tip over. Don't let older kids and teens use candles unsupervised in their rooms.

Careful in the Kitchen

Did you know that cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the United States? The kitchenis rife with ways for a fire to start: food left unsupervised on a stove or in an oven or microwave;grease spills; a dish towel too close to the burner; a toaster or toaster oven flare-up; a coffee potaccidentally left on.Always supervise kids while cooking and practice safe cooking habits — liketurning all pot handles in so they can't be accidentally knocked over and not wearing loose-fitting clothing that could catch fire around the stove.

Be Aware of Holiday Dangers

Around the holidays, there are even more potential fire hazards to think about. If you use a real Christmas tree in your home, make sure to water it daily — electric lights strung on a dried-out tree are a recipe for disaster.

All lights and lighted window ornaments should be inspected every year to make sure that cords are not worn or frayed, and all candles should be used with care. According to the NFPA, the number of fires started by candles nearly doubles during the month of December.

Smoke Alarms

It's a fact — having a smoke alarm in the house cuts your risk of dying in a fire inhalf. Almost 60% of all fatal residential fires occur in homes that don't have smoke alarms, so this may be the single most important thing you can do to keep your family safe from fires.

If your home doesn't have smoke alarms, now is the time to install them on every level of your home and in each bedroom. If possible, choose one with a 10-year lithium battery. If your smoke alarm uses regular batteries, remember to replace them every year (hint: change your batteries when you change your clock back from Daylight Saving Time in the fall). Test your smoke alarms monthly, and be sure your kids are familiar with the sound of the alarm.

Because smoke rises, smoke detectors should always be placed on ceilings or high on walls. If a smoke detector near the kitchen goes off while you're cooking, do not take the battery out of it — you may forget to replace it. Open the doors and windows instead. Or you might consider installing a rate-of-rise heat detector for places like the kitchen, where smoke or steam from cooking are likely to cause false alarms. These alarms can sense when the temperature reaches a set critical point or when it rises by more than a certain number of degrees a minute.

If you're having a new home built or remodeling an older home, you may also want to consider adding a home sprinkler system. These are already found in many apartment buildings and dormitories. Carbon monoxide alarms can also be life-saving.

Be prepared for any accidents by having fire extinguishers strategically placed around your house — at least one on each floor and in the kitchen (this one should be an all-purpose extinguisher, meaning it can be used on grease and electrical fires), the basement, the garage, or workshop area. Keep them out of reach of children.

Fire extinguishers are best used when a fire is contained in a small area, like a wastebasket, and when the fire department has already been called. The NFPA says to remember the word PASS when operating an extinguisher:

1. Pull the pin. Release the lock with the nozzle pointing away from you.2. Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire.3. Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly.4. Sweep the nozzle from side to side.

Fire Extinguishers

The best time to learn how to use the fire extinguisher is now, before you ever need it (if you have any questions, the local fire department can help). Fire extinguishers have gauges on them indicating when they need to be replaced and should be checked regularly to make sure they're still functional.

If you're ever in doubt about whether to use an extinguisher on a fire, don't try it. Instead, leave the house immediately and call the fire department.

NEUTRALISATION OF FIREFire Toxic Gases Technical Information

Nano-sorbentbased technology uses materials, which have high surfaceareas, unique morphologies, and enhancedchemicalreactivities. Commercial available nano-sorbentbased technology uses high chemical reactivity for containment and neutralizationsystemforchemicalhazards. Such nano-sorbent formulations areveryeffectiveat treating a broad range ofchemical hazards, including acidic vapors, such as Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen Cyanide, Carbon Monoxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Acrolein, Ammonia, Hydrogen Fluoride, Nitrogen Dioxide.

Background on Fire Toxic Gases

Fire toxicity research shows 1/2 of the fire toxicity problem occurs thru "Carbon monoxide. In some cases, the simple answer does not suffice. Chemists, regulatory officials, etc. want to know which additional gases may contribute a non-negligible amount to fire toxicity. No unique answer is possible, since the circumstances of each fire are different. Certainly, different materials produce different combustion products; for example, a polymer with no chlorine atoms would not produce hydrogen chloride among its products. Having said this, valid reasons could be seen for wanting a "shopping list" of gaseous agents. The shopping list created by Dr. VytenisBabrauskas, Fire Science and Technology Inc. can be referred which was published in the first edition of NIST's fire model HAZARD I. While such a list will always be subject to debate, the advantage of the NIST one was that it had to undergo the very rigorous review to which NIST publications are subjected. Thus, instead of being just one scientist's opinion, it had the consensus of the fire toxicity research and the fire modeling groups and the informed consent of higher management.
