Study Notes

Building and Fire Safety Terms

Anchor Stores: Large department stores with independent exits from the mall, enhancing safety and accessibility.
Atria: Spacious areas connecting multiple floors, often seen in modern architectural designs.
Brick Nogging: Brick and mortar used between building studs to create fire barriers, enhancing structural fire safety.
Calcination: A process of deteriorating materials through high-temperature heating, typically affecting the quality and integrity of products.
Cold Smoke: Smoke that accumulates and descends, presenting unique hazards during fire events.
Control Area: Designated spaces within a building that safely house hazardous materials under controlled regulations.
Covered Mall: A single building housing various tenants with shared internal access points, fostering a community atmosphere for shopping and dining.
Early Suppression/Fast Response (ESFR): Advanced sprinkler system designed for rapid action against high-challenge fire hazards.
Exit Passageway: Safe exit routes (hallways, corridors) designed according to NFPA 101: Life Safety Code for safe evacuation during emergencies.
Friable: Materials that readily crumble or disintegrate, significantly affecting safety standards in building contexts.

Hazardous Material Management

Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS): A mandated document outlining types and quantities of hazardous materials present in a facility.
Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP): A regulatory requirement that details the safe storage and handling procedures for hazardous materials.

Storage and Fire Safety Systems

Idle Pallet Storage: Areas designated for storage of empty pallets, maintaining organization in storage facilities.
In-Rack Sprinklers: Sprinklers situated within storage racks to combat fires effectively where overhead systems are inadequate.
Inversion Layer: Meteorological condition where warm air overlays cooler air, affecting fire dynamics and smoke movement.
Landing Zone: Specific area adjacent to an elevator landing, ensuring safe access and egress.
Lapse: Atmosphere condition characterized by decreasing temperature with increased altitude.

Occupancy and Space Design

Nonambulatory People: Individuals who cannot evacuate independently, necessitating added safety measures.
Occupancy: Refers to the designated use of a building per building codes, guiding fire and safety regulations.
Open Office Plan: Workspace design featuring low partitions for a collaborative environment, promoting communication.
Passive Fire Protection: Protective materials applied to structures to mitigate thermal effects from fires.

Specialized Structures and Features

Pause: An air layer warmer than the surrounding environment, impacting fire behavior.
Platform: Elevated stage area designed for various events, equipped with necessary technical features.
Projected Beam Detectors: Devices in smoke control systems utilizing beams of light to detect smoke across extensive areas.
Proscenium Arch and Wall: Architectural elements framing the stage in theaters, separating performers from the audience.
Pyrophoric Gas: Extremely reactive gas that ignites spontaneously in the presence of air, posing significant safety risks.

Emergency Procedures

RACE Method: A safety protocol for emergencies—Remove people, Activate alarms, Close doors to contain fire, Extinguish if possible.

Storage Structures

Racks: Frameworks used to support stacked materials for organized storage, improving efficiency.
Shelves: Shallow storage units for items, typically under 2.5 ft deep and arranged vertically to optimize space.
Ship’s Ladders: Steep, vertical stairs enabling access in compact areas, designed for safety and space efficiency.

Fire and Air Movement

Smoke Barrier: Physical barrier designed to restrict smoke movement, essential in fire safety design.
Solid Piles: Stacking method involving boxes or pallets to maximize storage capacity.
