Active Fire Protection Systems for Residential Applications

Fire risk assessments and fire protection measures for wind turbines: A review

“…A large part of fire cases can be avoided if early fire detection devices are present in the wind turbines. In addition, these detectors must be connected to remote monitoring systems to inform the park manager and for firefighters to be activated [ 30 ]. Due to the remoteness of where these wind farms are usually located, even if the fire brigades are activated now, they can sometimes take hours to arrive, and then little could be done to avoid the loss of the wind turbine.…”

Fire Safe Use of Wood in Buildings - Global Design Guide

“…Now the use is extended to official and commercial buildings like assembly halls, shopping malls and other complex buildings. Testing procedures for cultural heritage applications with water mist to secure the invaluable property have also recently been developed (Arvidson, 2020). This includes several old timber churches in Norway and Sweden and their wall and ceiling paintings.…”

“…There was a significant benefit in terms of improved tenability resulting from a considerable decrease in heat and concentrations of irritant and asphyxiant gases. Residential sprinklers and water mist nozzles in a residential fire scenario have recently been evaluated (Arvidson, 2017(Arvidson, , 2022. It concludes that the performance of the water mist nozzles was comparable to or better than the residential sprinkler at approximately half of the water flow rate for the tested fire scenarios.…”
