Evans, D.
Structured thinking - 2004 - Fire Engineers' Journal 64(246) July 2004, 38-39(2) .
Discusses how the UK's new approach to emergency response highlights the continuing importance of structural protection in commercial buildings. Points out that passive fire protection should be an integral part of fire engineered solutions and if a building can stand for several hours whilst burning, the occupants can evacuate safely. Fireproofing of steel substructures and correct installation of fire protection systems are vital. Stresses as the fire and rescue services concentrate on domestic fires, where the majority of fatalities occur, the commercial sector must have other means of eliminating fire risk.
