Information Paper 20/85 Behaviour of people in fires
Publication Year
1985
Document Status
Current
Abstract
Extensive investigation of actual fires by FRS has shown clearly that people's behaviour and response before and during an incident can often be a factor overriding the part played by legislation. Summarises the range of people's reactions which must be considered in the design of buildings and the fire legislation covering them in order to reduce the effects of smoke and heat to the occupants of a building. It is aimed at architects and designers as well as fire prevention officers and safety officers.
