Mitigation Strategies for Buildings
The environmental impact of fire in buildings, structures and facilities can be mitigated by preventing fires, managing the size of fires if they occur, or managing the exposure to the environment. This can be accomplished using a variety of prevention and mitigation measures, from controlling of potential sources of ignition, containment of fire spread, suppression or extinguishment of fire, and control of any firefighting runoff. Approaches to fire mitigation can be found in regulatory documents, consensus standards, handbooks and guidelines that span the range from fire safety engineering to environmental protection. This chapter presents a brief, high-level overview of the range of potential measures to prevent or mitigate the impact of building, structure and facility fires on the environment. Sources for more detail treatment of the various topics is provided.
