BUILDING AND FIRE CODES
“High- rise building shall designed so that in the event of fire the levels
of smoke concentration in protected spaces can be maintained within
values that can be tolerated by occupants for an indefinite period. This
protected shall include stairwells, at least one elevator shaft, and floor
spaces readily accessible to all occupants and large enough to
accommodate them. In the spaces to which the requirements for control
of smoke level applies, the atmosphere shall not include more than one
(1%) percent by volume of the contaminated atmosphere emanating
from the fire area”.
CAUSES OF FIRE IN HIGH
RISE BUILDING
• Electrical equipment, such as faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and
malfunctioning appliances, is one of the leading causes of fire, as well as one of the
most dangerous fires to put out. Electrical sparks, short circuits, and overheating
due to loose connections or damaged cords can ignite fires.

• Intentional fires/ Arson. Unfortunately, there are times when individuals maliciously
set fires. Arsonists can affect private homes as well as commercial establishments.

• Cooking equipment. Whether in the home, at a restaurant, or another type of


building, kitchens use high temperatures, flammable oils and grease, and a variety of
types of equipment. If proper safety procedures are not followed when cooking, fires
can originate from the kitchen area and spread to other areas of a building very
rapidly.

• Heating equipment. Depending on the time of year and climate, heating equipment
inside personal homes and commercial buildings can lead to major fires. This can
include issues with furnaces, boilers, radiators, and space heaters.
SAFETY MEASURES
Several key measures must be implemented to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in high-rise buildings:

• Use fire-resistant building materials for both structure and interior finishes.

• Install active fire protection systems, such as sprinklers and fire alarms.

• Maintain passive fire protection systems, such as fire and smoke barriers to create compartmentalization.

• Protectant against vertical smoke movement through stairwell and elevator.

• Install cladding using the proper materials and methods per the manufacturer’s instructions and testing standards.

Residential High Rise Building Safety Tips
People living in an High Rise Residential Building need to think ahead and be prepared in the event of a fire. It is important to know the
fire safety features in your building and work together with neighbors to help keep the building as fire-safe as possible.

1. Know the plan


Make sure that you're familiar with your building's evacuation plan, which should illustrate what residents are supposed to do in the
event of an emergency. The evacuation plan should be posted in places where all residents can see and review it, and the building
management should hold a fire drill with occupants at least once a year. The BFP requires that buildings periodically test their fire safety
systems as well. Be sure to participate when your building drills take place. When looking for an apartment or high-rise home, look for
one with an automatic sprinkler system. Sprinklers can extinguish a home fire in less time that it takes for the fire department to arrive.

2. Practice is key
Whether your building has one floor or 50, it's essential that you and your family are prepared to respond to a fire alarm. Identify all of
the exits in your building and if you are using an escape planning grid, mark them on your escape plan. Make sure to mark the various
stairways too, in case one is blocked by fire.

3. Never use the elevator


In case of fire, always use the stairs to get out, never the elevator. Make sure to practice using the stairs as part of your escape plan. If
someone in your family has difficulty climbing down steps, make sure to incorporate a contingency for this into your plan.

4. Stay low
Smoke from a fire is toxic and deadly no matter what kind of structure you live in. When you hold your fire drill, everyone in the
family should practice getting low and going under the smoke to the exit. In the event of a fire, if both stairwells are filled with
smoke, stay in your apartment and wait for the firefighters.

5. Seal yourself in for safety


If you can't exit an apartment building due to smoke or fire in the hallway, call the fire department to report your exact location and
gather in a room with a window to await their arrival. Close all doors between you and the fire. Use duct tape or towels to create a
seal around the door and over air vents in order to keep smoke from coming in.

6. Stay by the window


If possible, you should open your windows at the top and the bottom so fresh air can get in. Don't break the window - if smoke enters
the room from outside the building, you won't be able to protect yourself.

7. Signal to firefighters
Wave a flashlight or light colored cloth at the window to let the fire department know where you are located.
