A proposal of how the pre-planning process for the attack/contingency plans can be done with the purpose to achieve an effective collaboration between the fire department and the proprietor/building owner.

The purpose of this report is to evaluate spontaneous combustion of two vegetable binders, linseed oil and tung oil. Binders with driers are common in sheet-fed offset inks. The methods used are literature research and experimental studies. The experimental study is divided in two parts, experiments in a preheated cupeling furnace, and experiments with differential scanning calorimetry-apparatus.

This report is a risk analysis of the harbour area in Trelleborg, Sweden. The purpose is to provide basic data for decision- making concerning the harbour neighbourhood. The conclusions are based on calculations and computer simulations concerning the chemical spread in case of an incident.

This report treats the problem in training fire commanders in tactical decision making and how to do it at a low cost. Different methods and means of assistance are presented. The need of education is specified by the analyse of an accident and its components.

This report contains an evaluation of the risk index method FRIM-MAB (Fire Risk Index Method for Multistorey Apartment Buildings). All parameters of the method were given minimum grades by the author of this report in collaboration with experts from four Nordic countries in order to derive a minimum grade on the risk index for buildings with noncombustible frames. 20 apartment buildings with timbe

This report is the result of a risk analysis of fire hazards in hush houses in the Swedish air force. The results are based on computer simulations, calculations and discussions. Two main fire scenarios are evaluated and it is the worst probable scenarios. The main conclusion is that one technician will die every 20 000 year in a fire in a hush house if there is no fire brigade.

This report contains a description of the Swedish legal provisions that is relevant to reduce the firerisk in historical Swedish wooden buildings. The firestart and the characteristic firespread in these buildings are discussed. Experience from fireprevention measures and efforts from Eksjö, Jönköping, Vaxholm and Fredrikstad (Norway) are also discussed.

The report presents a quantitative riskanalysis of historical wooden buildings in Kungsbacka, Sweden. The risk is shown as the expected cost per year for the insurance companies. Five firesafety strategies are analysed using the same method. These are systematic firesafety work, systematic firesafety work with education of the occupants in the buildings, smokedetectors and fireextinguisher, automa

In this report evaluates how a firedevelopment can be systematically described and how statistics from these descriptions can serve as basis for descisions in fire brigades.

This report presents a model for the continuing work with creating a quality management system for Stockholm Fire Departement. The system is based on the European and Swedish standard SS-EN ISO 9001.

This report concerns crisis management in the city of Stockholm and the coordinative role of the Fire Defence Services during events of emergency and crisis.

This report is a risk analysis of Svenska lantmännen in Helsingborg, Sweden. In the analysis probabilities is appraised with event trees and consequences is described in economic terms. The report also contains a chapter in which suitable means to fight fires in silos is examined.

This report looks at the interface between pre-planned operational/contingency plans and their users. It takes in concern the importance of keeping plans up to date, the value of a uniform design of the plans and the need for continuous education and training of personnel among other things.

This report describes the theoretical and practical work producing a Model Fire Room. The project resulted in a Model Fire Room which, in a standardized and clear way, shows the entire fire scenario from ignition to fully developed room fire. The most important stage of the fire scenario shown is the flashover.

The purpose of this report is to compile educational material concerning Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) for the Swedish Rescue Services Agency’s Rosersberg Collage. By using CFD-modelling the smoke-spread is visualized in a pedagogic way and will hopefully lead to a better understanding concerning the issue. The fire scenarios chosen are equivalent to the type of conditions used when training

The aim of the report is to investigate the possibility of reducing the discharge of pollution to the air, water and soil at Ågesta training ground. The report documents which byproducts from fire are created such as smoke and water, and their effects on humans and the environment. A study of the geology of Ågesta which makes it possible to track the flow of groundwater has been included, as well

This report is an evaluation of the fire safety at Stenqvist AB, a manufacturer of printed paper-bags and packages. A risk inventory has been carried out and then the work has been divided in two parts. First, the hazards that may affect the surroundings and people outside the premises are investigated. Second, the internal fire protection is evaluated and, finally, a number of suggested improveme

This report covers risk assessment of a paint wholesaler and retail store. Fire experiments with paint products are carried out and evaluated.

This study is an investigation of fire safety on intercity and interregional multiple unit trains. In the study the major fire risks are identified using a Preliminary Hazard Analysis, which is followed by an estimation of the consequences for different fires onboard trains using simulations and hand calculations. The improvements when introducing self-closing doors and a water mist system are als
