Joseph Walker 2/10/12 Intro to Security The Station Nightclub Fire There were many issues regarding this nightclub that caused this horrible fire that claimed the lives of 100 people. There were a couple threats involved that made this fire so bad. The main threat that happened was the pyrotechnics failed and ignited a flame on the stage. One of the bad design flaws of this building was that they used a highly flammable insulation. This insulation is known as polyurethane foam insulation.
1. What is the primary consideration when encountering a hazardous material or Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) release? (1 point) A. Life safety B. Environmental safety C. Stopping the release D. Saving property 2.
Once you have observed the area Look at how the hazards might harm you and others.It’s important to look at who might be harmed so you can predict the level of the risk, and how the most efficient way of removing the hazard. You can also look at the number of people who are put at danger if the hazard isn’t removed. STEP 3- Evaluate the risks and decide on precaution…After spotting a hazard you need to then decided on what you are going to do to either reduce or prevent the risk, in order to do something ask yourself these two question;- Can you get rid
The price of destructive fire is estimated at over $11 billion a year in the U.S. Loss of businesses leads to loss of jobs, which is a price that is beyond calculation. It is sobering to come to the realization that the richest and most technologically advanced nation in the world led all major industrialized countries in per capita deaths and property loss from fire during that time. Chapter 2 Living Victims Of The Tragedy. The Commission outlines the struggles of victims who are maimed and disfigured by burn injuries. The reader is made aware that half of these victims are children, who must live out the rest of their lives with physical, as well as
Remember that a nail too big will most likely shatter wood that is too thin. - Anti-Jam Mechanism Not the kind of jam you are thinking of, a good nail gun needs to have a good mechanism to help (1) prevent jams (2) fix a jam. Sooner or later, a nail will get stuck due to misfire, so your nailer needs to make provisions for
In 1881, almost all the business houses on Ninth Street were destroyed by fire. In 1884, all the properties between 9th and 11th streets were burned, and in 1889 another fire would have destroyed a large part of the business district instead except for the fact the city had finally put fire hydrants, because they realized there were to many fire out brakes in the city of Modesto, but even though they had fire hydrants the water pressure was barely able to keep the fires under control. The last big fire of old Modesto occurred in 1901, when the wooden shacks and buildings on 11th and I streets were burned down completely. It left the city in complete shock, and they need to figure out a way to get these outrageous fires under control. George E. Wallace prevailed upon joining the volunteers in 1909.
How can the community reduce the affect of a solid accident incorporating a hazardous material? A single good method is to ensure that the existent regulations are constrained. This point may ask for a significant obligation in human resources. The next community obligation is to assure that the location has an appropriate emergency plan for working with such a type of accident, and that uncertainty concerning jurisdiction (“who’s in charge?” and “who’s in charge of what?”) will not affect or prevent an efficient reaction. Who can help is the situation, when the hazardous material is release?
This style would not be used in a situation where the team may be under fire, or in danger and have to act quickly, another style would be used then but I think this leadership style is most effective in situations that involve planning out things because both the team members and the team leader are involved in the decisions which make a bigger impact on the final decision in which all the team have put in input to make the action as effective as possible. An example would be in the fire service, the fire officer will be planning an escape out of a burning building and the planning stage would involve input opinions from all team members and a team discussion. Democratic is similar to People Orientated in the way that both leaders take in the opinions and care about the welfare of the team, this can be very effective in many situations as 2 heads are better than
Lastly, we need to empower our inspectors to have the authority to stop production when a bad sample is detected. This needs to happen before a bottle neck, as well, to ensure we do not waste time remanufacturing an order. We also have many long-term goals to discuss. They go as follows: Testing of the new bottle needs to be done to ensure safety to the end-user. Meanwhile, we will use the old style bottles
Difference Between Origin and Fire Cause Determination. Today in this paper I am going to write about the major differences between the origin of a fire or explosion, and the cause and determination of a fire. I will first separate the two subjects, then give a few examples of clear differences between them, give a partial scenario, and a conclusion to hopefully give a clear meaning to both terms. Now without further due, I would like to present my thoughts and findings about determining the fire’s origin. Many times, Fire investigators will refer to a fire’s origin when discussing recent fire activity.
