Abstract
There is a known shortage in the technical literature regarding fire prevention and fire fighting, which is often not even a constant subject in the curriculum of engineering courses. In Manaus, fire projects are regulated by the Fire Brigade Technical Standards, so there is often a technical deficiency in the preparation of these projects. In this context this work is inserted, aiming to provide a logical and normative roadmap for the correct design of fire prevention and fire prevention facilities. The object of study adopted is a Shed of 2,112.00 square meters, located in the West Zone of Manaus. The design determined a mixed fire fighting system between extinguishers and fire hydrants, requiring the adoption of elevated reservoir systems and fire pumps.
Highlights
Historically the use of fire has had consequences, such as the 64 AD fire in Rome, which devastated the metropolis and the 1666 AD fire in London
There is a known shortage in the technical literature regarding fire prevention and fire fighting, which is often not even a constant subject in the curriculum of engineering courses
In Brazil, it was no different, with outdated legislation behind the rest of the world, it was only after the Joelma Building fire [1] in 1975 that modern prevention techniques were developed, with prior control of projects, and supervision of normative criteria by the Fire Department, the Table below shows the history of large fires in Brazil
Summary
There is a close relationship between the discovery of fire, its use as a tool and the beginning of technological advances in the early Paleolithic period. Historically the use of fire has had consequences, such as the 64 AD fire in Rome, which devastated the metropolis and the 1666 AD fire in London. This history of major fires has led to a natural evolution in fire fighting systems. In this context, this course completion work is a means of disseminating, by practical example, the application of technical standards and analysis and design tools for firefighting installations
