22. CASE STUDIES

23. CASE STUDY 1: PIP RFL-3 BUILDING
The incident was minor. But panic spread due to
abnormal amount of smoke.
People did not follow SOP of fire extinguishing.
Non related people were engaged in fire fighting
job.
Water stream was used in oil type fire. That was
the cause of smoke.
Smoke accumulated, because exhaust fans were
disconnected.

24. CASE STUDY 1: HOW TO IMPROVE
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES FOR FUTURE INCIDENTS
Preventive maintenance
should cover cleaning the
ducts, blowers and chimneys.
Preventive
Maintenance
After the fire alarm rings,
everyone should leave the
facility immediately except fire
marshals.
Action After Ringing
Fire Alarm
Using water is prohibited in oil
related fires. Everyone should
know about extinguisher
before using it.
Idea About Fire
Extinguisher
Exhaust fan’s power should
not be supplied from normal
DBs.
Exhaust Fan’s
Power Supply
Sensors may be used to
automatically start blowers
when temperature exceeds a
defined value.
Smoke Exhaust
Ducts

25. CASE STUDY 2: TAMPACO FOILS LTD

26. CASE STUDY 2: TAMPACO FOILS LTD
News has circulated that the incident was caused
by boiler explosion.
M.A. Mannan, chief inspector of boilers said that
there was no boiler explosion.
There was technical problem in the gas controlling
unit & gas line.
May be somehow fire was ignited at the gas entry
point and spread through the entire gas line.

27. CASE STUDY 2: LOSSES
INJURIES & FATALITIES

28. TIPS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY

29. TIPS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY
Addressable Fire Alarm & sprinkler system should be installed for fire detection in preliminary stage.
High window must be easily removable to exhaust smoke out, rather breaking the glass.
Exhaust fan power supply should be from utility/ lighting DB so that they could work after turning off regular
DBs.
Unnecessary use of PVC floor mat and other combustible materials should be restricted.

30. TIPS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY (Continued)
We should always try to fight as per our own strategy. External fire service force will always be acting as
reserved force.
If needed, only highest authority present in the spot will decide the action plan.
There must should be one commanding person who will divide the job.
Unnecessary loss or sabotage should be avoided.
