FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT OF MULTI-STORIED BUILDINGS AT A RESIDENTIAL AREA IN KHULNA CITY
Fire incidents are increasing in urban areas in recent areas and posing a great threat to human lives and properties. The unplanned urban housings without necessary fire safety provisions are responsible for these accidents. In Khulna city alone, there is a large number of residential buildings which are constructed violating the rules and regulations of the Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC 2015) and Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defence (BFSCD). These buildings have no fire safety measures at all. 20 buildings are surveyed through a questionnaire interview, survey and discussion. Findings show that among the 20 surveyed buildings, 75% of them are in a highly vulnerable condition and are at high-risk fire hazards. 25% of them are at medium risk. Some buildings are too old and it was found that they did not follow the proper building fire safety code. For the case of relatively newly constructed buildings, it is observed that they maintained the proper rules for construction but did not have proper fire safety measures. They do not have evacuation routes or sufficient fire extinguishers that are a must at the time of emergency. Fire safety planning, designing and modification of these buildings with the help of expert personnel by following the proper fire safety guidelines are needed for these buildings. Sufficient surveillance and supervision are also needed to reduce the risk of fatal fire incidences in residential areas.
