- W566769339 abstract "The authors of this article consider three tunnel fires in the 1970s which are now well documented, and argue that the application of a standard that is now available could have reduced their size. They discuss current tunnel fire safety and life safety standards, and the organisations that promoted them. They present a case for a global standard or, at least, one spanning large economic areas of the world. The first fire was in the Montreal Metro in 1971, after a collision between two trains, killing a motorman and causing many million dollars worth of damage. Another fire there in 1974 caused several million dollars worth of damage but no fatalities. In 1979, a fire in the San Francisco BART Metro killed a firefighter, and emphasised the need for a higher level of equipment and procedure. All three fires indicated the need for a comprehensive standard, which would require various specific types of safety measure. Several existing standards are discussed, which aim to save lives through fire prevention and mitigation, by defining key system features for safe operation, reducing fire opportunities, minimising damage, effective fire fighting, evacuation, and rescue. For example, the National Fire Protection Association standards NFPA 130 and NFPA 502 are described and reviewed." @default.
