Fire Fighter's Protective Clothing and Thermal Environments of Structural Fire Fighting
This paper attempts to define the general thermal environment at locations where fire fighters stage and begin their attack on a fire. A great deal of research has been done to evaluate structural fires as they relate to building design, materials and contents. Only small elements of these data have been used in evaluating the thermal environment around fire fighters during normal attack situations. Results from early and recent studies clearly demonstrate the severity of thermal environments at fire attack staging areas. Thermal radiation from a room's open doorway or window may reach levels which will cause burn injuries to exposed skin and cause charring or ignition of protective clothing fabrics which result in burn injuries to protected skin. A brief scenario is presented which serves as an example of how a fire fighter could receive second degree burns while attacking a fire form outside of the flaming envelope.
