| 总结: | Few things are more frightening to contemplate than a fire. Fires kill, destroy
homes and leave survivors with painful, disfiguring injuries. Early warning of
fire emergency is of utmost importance in order to save life and property. Fire
Detection system plays a very important role and it can only be effective when
there is no occurrence of false alarm.
False Alarms disrupt production activities, office activities, sleep, etc. which
lead to wastage of resources and it also demoralizes emergency crews
(BOMBA/ERT) and building occupants from responding positively.
In this paper, the objective is to carry out a study on the occurrence of false
alarms in relation with human factor and automatic detector behavior
according to day and night period within the week. Data was obtained from recorded eMS Bomba Link for a period of four
months ie. June - September 1999 for twenty-one different buildings.
The results indicate that the occurrence of false alarm happened during the
daytime where working activities are in abundance. From observation ancl
interview twenty-one buildings with maintenance and safety management,
vandalism and excessive smoke/dust from working activities that may trigger
the smoke detector are probably the two major causes of false alarm.
If fire alarm sensor selection/maintenance is improved, it can reduce the
frequency of false alarm very substantially and hence performs its intended
purpose. |
