SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF FIRE
SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF FIRE
In regard to fire protection, hospitals and nursing homes are particularly critical, as the fast evacuation of patients places high demands.
According to statistics from the Association of German Fire Protection Officers, there is a fire in a hospital in Germany every 18 days and even every eight days in a retirement and nursing home.
Fire protection in hospitals and nursing homes is not only a special challenge from a technical point of view: In the event of an incident, people who cannot save themselves under their own power often have to be helped. A fast evacuation is essential.
Rescuing people and patients is the top priority in the event of a fire alarm. If a fire breaks out, every minute counts. The focus is on those who cannot get to safety in time under their own steam. While those needing help do not necessarily consist of senior citizens in hospitals, old age is the rule in nursing homes.
In case of fire, a high smoke concentration is produced very quickly. This is dangerous for two reasons:
It is therefore crucial how quickly the dangerous smoke can be evacuated so that both staff and rescue workers have enough time to safely evacuate everyone present from a hospital or nursing home.
The safety of patients, nursing home residents and employees can only be ensured with a coordinated overall fire protection concept that includes all structural, system engineering and operational-organisational components.
The overall concept determines the effectiveness in the event of a fire in order to minimise the risk of fire and to extend the intervention time in the event of an emergency.
