Fire in Goafs (mines) is considered to be a potential environmental and health risk throughout the globe. Although, plenty of conventional fire extinguishing methods has been proposed in the past, yet they contain side effects. The authors in propose a novel fire management system using expansion form for fighting with fire at the top of goafs. The system contains a jet device for adding foaming agent produced by foam generator. The foam is powered by water pressure and compressed gas that are intrinsically safe for operating in mines. The expansion foam propels itself upwards to extinguish fire at the ...

Description of the best fire detection equipment to be installed in the Electrical Switchgear Room, Flammable Liquids Room and the Office. The best fire detection system to be installed in the Electrical Switchgear Room is the photoelectric smoke detector (FM Global, 2). This is because cables which are necessary in the Electrical Switchgear Room are mostly insulated with combustible materials which would invariably generate smoke as they burn in the event of a fire (FM Global 1). This type of smoke from such smoldering fires (characteristic of burning plastic/insulating) according to the NFPA can most effectively be detected by ...
