Fire protection decisions pit cost against risk exposure

Dieken, Dominique

Fire protection decisions that pit cost against risk exposure are discussed. Fires have caused losses in excess of dollar 30 million at power plants where fire protection systems were absent or failed. Fire is the largest cause of loss at fossil power plants, responsible for approximately 50% of the losses in the fossil fuel power plant category. Fire prevention and fire protection alternatives can be assessed in terms of risk-reduction benefit versus cost, providing decision-makers an opportunity to prioritize fire safety improvements and optimize budget allocations.
