Fires in organic waste storages: prevention, fire fighting and after care
The development of each fire in a solid waste storage area is unique and depends on the typeof material stored, the design and type of storage, the weather conditions and moisturecontent, the way the initial phase of the fire is handled, the type and quantity of equipmentand material available for extinguishing the fire, and the number and level of trainedpersonnel available. This paper describes briefly two large fire events occurring in two wastestorage areas: one registered as two consecutive events in Sweden (2006) where the wastewas stored as hardly-compacted heaps; and one in Denmark (2005) where the waste wasstored in round bales with plastic. Best practices to avoid fire events in waste storages, as wellas the experience and knowledge acquired during fighting of these fires and handling ofremained material are presented. Recommendations based on lessons learned are presented. ; The development of each fire in a solid waste storage area is unique and depends on the typeof material stored, the design and type of storage, the weather conditions and moisturecontent, the way the initial phase of the fire is handled, the type and quantity of equipmentand material available for extinguishing the fire, and the number and level of trainedpersonnel available.
