Title | Study the Impact of Different Kind Fire Hose Carry Methods for Rescue Efficiency in Stairwell Wiring | ||
Keyword | |||
Abstract | Abstract When a fire occurs in a building, firefighters use fire hoses for firefighting operations. Establishing hose lines often involves overcoming various challenges, and different methods of storing hoses can impact firefighting effectiveness. Therefore, this study simulates rescue operations in the stairwells of apartment buildings to experiment with four different hose storage methodsĄG single coil, double coil, zigzag, and Cleveland coil. It investigates the influence of these methods on hose deployment efficiency, analyzing factors such as operation time, terminal water pressure, and physical exertion of personnel through experimental data and interviews. The analysis from experiments and surveys reveals that using the zigzag hose method for deployment results in superior operation time and terminal water pressure compared to the other three methods, with the Cleveland coil following closely behind. Personnel generally perceive the zigzag method as the fastest and simplest among all types. In contrast, using single or double coils not only increases operation time but also requires frequent adjustments of the hose, resulting in relatively lower terminal water pressure. It is recommended that the zigzag method be prioritized for hose deployment in stairwells. However, it's crucial to consider the higher physical exertion associated with this method for personnel, ensuring they can sustain their energy levels during extended firefighting efforts.
