a questionnaire for inclusion in the Win-ter Newsletter. The questionnaire is in-tended to seek input from themembership on CFSA activities, servicesand opportunities.

The Board welcomes a renewed repre-sentation from the Toronto Fire Services– Deputy Chief Rick Simpson. Rick has a30 year history with the fire services andwill continue a longstanding relationshipbetween the CFSA and the Toronto FireServices in the interest of fire safety.

October 5-11, 2003 marks Fire Preven-tion Week. This years slogan is “WhenFire Strikes: Get Out! Stay out!” and sup-ports two themes – install and maintainhome smoke alarms, and develop andpractice home fire drills. Don’t forget toparticipate in your community fire safetyevents.

The CFSA has been invited to again siton the Technical Review Committee forparts 1,2,6,7, 8, and 9 of the Ontario FireCode. I will be representing the CFSA atthe November 18,2003 committee meet-ing and will report back to the board inJanuary 2004.

I look forward to another CFSA seasonand hope to see you soon.

It’s hard to believe that yetanother summer has comeand gone. But the goodnews is that we will soonbe setting our clocks backfor an extra hour of sleep!Don’t forget to change

your smoke alarm battery and test yourhome carbon monoxide detector whenthe clocks go back.

The past few months have been chal-lenging ones for all in the fire protectioncommunity across the country. Our fireservice professionals in the GreaterToronto Area have had to deal with newstandard operating procedures to protectthemselves from the effects of SARS. Nat-ural Resource Firefighters in WesternCanada have been challenged by hun-dreds of wildland fires in British Colum-bia. The August 14, 2003 blackout inOntario, Quebec and the NortheasternStates also proved to be challenging forEmergency Service personnel as personswithout lights or power turned to candlesfor illumination, causing several fires.

The summer was not all doom andgloom. Your CFSA board continued to or-ganize this years events and instigated areview of our Strategic Plan, last updatedin 1995. A task group has met three timesover the summer and will be preparing

The campaign theme for this year’s FirePrevention Week (October 5 to 11) is“When Fire Strikes: Get Out! Stay Out!”,teaching two very simple and poten-tially life-saving lessons:

• Install smoke alarms and test themregularly, and

• Develop and practice home firedrills.

As professionals, we recognize the im-portance of having smoke detectors inour residences and testing them on aregular basis, but how many of us de-velop and practice home fire drills?The National Fire Protection Associa-tion (NFPA) provides the following in-

formation on dwelling and apartmentfire escape plans.

DwellingsBasic fire escape planning • Pull together everyone in your house-

hold and make a plan. Walk throughyour home and inspect all possible ex-its and escape routes. Householdswith children should consider drawinga floor plan of your home, markingtwo ways out of each room, includingwindows and doors. Also, mark the lo-cation of each smoke alarm.

• Make sure that you have at least onesmoke alarm on every level of yourhome.

• Everyone in the household must un-derstand the escape plan. When youwalk through your plan, check tomake sure the escape routes are clearand doors and windows can beopened easily.

• Choose an outside meeting place (i.e.neighbor’s house, a light post, mail-box, or stop sign) a safe distance infront of your home where everyonecan meet after they’ve escaped. Makesure to mark the location of themeeting place on your escape plan.

• Go outside to see if your street num-ber is clearly visible from the road. Ifnot, paint it on the curb or installhouse numbers to ensure that re-sponding emergency personnel canfind your home.

• Have everyone memorize the emer-gency phone number of the fire de-partment. That way any member ofthe household can call from a neigh-bor’s home or a cellular phone oncesafely outside.

• If there are infants, older adults orfamily members with mobility limita-tions make sure that someone is as-signed to assist them in the fire drilland in the event of an emergency.Assign a backup person too, in casethe designee is not home during theemergency.

• If windows or doors in your homehave security bars, make sure thatthe bars have quick-release mecha-nisms inside so that they can beopened immediately in an emer-gency. Quick-release mechanismswon’t compromise your security - butthey will increase your chances ofsafely escaping a home fire.

When Fire Strikes:Get out! Stay out!

Fire Prevention WeekOctober 5-11, 2003

• Tell guests or visitors to your homeabout your family’s fire escape plan.When staying overnight at other peo-ple’s homes, ask about their escapeplan. If they don’t have a plan inplace, offer to help them make one.This is especially important whenchildren are permitted to attend“sleepovers” at friends’ homes.

• Be fully prepared for a real fire: whena smoke alarm sounds, get out imme-diately. Residents of high-rise andapartment buildings may be safer“defending in place.”

• Once you’re out, stay out! Under nocircumstances should you ever goback into a burning building. Ifsomeone is missing, inform the firedepartment dispatcher when youcall. Firefighters have the skills andequipment to perform rescues.

Putting your plan to the test • Practice your home fire escape plan

twice a year, making the drill as real-istic as possible.

• Allow children to master fire escapeplanning and practice before holdinga fire drill at night when they aresleeping. The objective is to practice,not to frighten, so telling childrenthere will be a drill before they go tobed can be as effective as a surprisedrill.

• It’s important to determine during thedrill whether children and others canreadily waken to the sound of thesmoke alarm. If they fail to awaken,make sure that someone is assigned towake them up as part of the drill andin a real emergency situation.

• If your home has two floors, everyfamily member (including children)must be able to escape from the sec-ond floor rooms. Escape ladders canbe placed in or near windows to pro-vide an additional escape route. Re-view the manufacturer’s instructionscarefully so you’ll be able to use asafety ladder in an emergency. Prac-tice setting up the ladder from a firstfloor window to make sure you cando it correctly and quickly. Childrenshould only practice with a grown-

up, and only from a first-story win-dow. Store the ladder near the win-dow, in an easily accessible location.You don’t want to have to search forit during a fire.

• Always choose the escape route thatis safest – the one with the leastamount of smoke and heat – but beprepared to escape through toxicsmoke if necessary. When you doyour fire drill, everyone in the familyshould practice crawling low on theirhands and knees, one to two feetabove the ground. By keeping yourhead low, you’ll be able to breathethe “good” air that’s closer to the floor.

• It’s important to practice crawling onyour hands and knees, not your bel-lies, as some poisons produced bysmoke are heavier than air and settleto the floor.

• Closing doors on your way out slowsthe spread of fire, giving you moretime to safely escape.

• In some cases, smoke or fire mayprevent you from exiting your homeor apartment building. To prepare foran emergency like this, practice “seal-ing yourself in for safety” as part ofyour home fire escape plan. Close alldoors between you and the fire. Useduct tape or towels to seal the doorcracks and cover air vents to keepsmoke from coming in. If possible,open your windows at the top andbottom so fresh air can get in.

ApartmentsKnow the planMake sure that you’re familiar withyour building’s evacuation plan, whichshould illustrate what residents are sup-posed to do in the event of an emer-gency. The evacuation plan should beposted in places where all residents cansee and review it, and the buildingmanagement should hold a fire drillwith occupants at least once a year.Most states also require that buildingsperiodically test their fire safety systemsas well. Be sure to participate whenyour building drills take place.

Practice is keyWhether your building has one floor or50, it’s essential that you and your familyare prepared to respond to a fire alarm.Identify all of the exits in your buildingand mark them on your escape plan.Make sure to mark the various stairwaystoo, in case one is blocked by fire.

Never use the elevatorIn case of fire, always use the stairs toget out, never the elevator. Make sure topractice using the stairs as part of yourescape plan. If someone in your familyhas difficulty climbing down steps,make sure to incorporate a contingencyfor this into your plan.

Stay low Smoke from a fire is toxic and deadly nomatter what kind of structure you live in.When you hold your fire drill, everyonein the family should practice crawling ontheir hands and knees low under smoke,one to two feet above the ground wherethe air is cooler and cleaner. Note: in theevent of a fire, if both stairwells are filledwith smoke, stay in your apartment andwait for the firefighters.

Seal yourself in for safetyIf you can’t exit an apartment buildingdue to smoke or fire in the hallway, callthe fire department to report your exactlocation and gather in a room with awindow to await their arrival. Close alldoors between you and the fire. Useduct tape or towels to create a sealaround the door and over air vents in or-der to keep smoke from coming in.

Stay by the windowIf possible, you should open your win-dows at the top and the bottom so freshair can get in. Don’t break the window– if smoke enters the room from outsidethe building, you won’t be able to pro-tect yourself.

Signal to firefightersWave a flashlight or light colored cloth atthe window to let the fire departmentknow where you are located.

On Thursday August 14, 2003 at 4:11 pmthe lights went out in our Toronto Office(Black-out 2003). I thought about howdifferent the life safety world is todaycompared to just 50 years ago (fromflag-drop panels to distributed multiplextransponders). So I wondered, (whenthe lights went out) what will life safetysystems be 50 years from now?

As you may recall, in last year’s fall is-sue of the CFSA newsletter I providedsome information regarding the spe-cific use of optical fibre for life safetyapplications. Optical fibre may be con-sidered the “future glue” that will holdthe next generation of life safety net-works together. However, the future“where the rubber hits the road” tech-nology will be driven by advancements

in detection or sensory combined withpredictive fire modeling.

As such, I suggest that future life safetysystems will make great strides incorpo-rating the collective sensory informationwith fire modeling, signal processingand interpretation or decision algo-rithms. This will provide results such asreal time predictive fire modeling andthreat assessment (I don’t have a crystalball but I do have a lucid imagination).So let’s jump ahead 50 years and lookat the following scenario:

Future Scenario It is the year 2053. Two executives de-cide to smoke medicinal tobacco cigarson the 109th floor of the Toronto ScienceExchange Building in the corporate

wellness lounge. Following a lengthydiscussion regarding low impact bio-wear workout socks, the two executivesdiscard their cigars in the ashtray andexit the lounge. The building sensory isaware of the “cigar smoke algorithm”and logs the events in its historical dataneural net. (It logs that this is the sec-ond time today that Bob and Jim havehad biometric access to the lounge andpuffed away their troubles.)

A few minutes later the air handlingsystem starts up to fill (and exchange)the room with oxygenated air (so em-ployees will feel better and work longerhours). The force of the air blows openan antique textbook (“Toronto Real Es-tate in the Dirty 00’s”). The textbookjust happens to be placed next to theashtray. The embers from the cigarslowly ignite the text.

Instantly, building sensory is awareof the cigar and paper algorithm andbegins the “threat assessment” rou-tine (we’re talking nanosecondshere). Now the incident is reportedto the chief building operator and anoutcome list or threat assessment isdispatched (i.e. send two guys withan extinguisher in the next 120 sec-onds or release the expensive sup-pression agent in the next 480seconds).

Sensory Data Collection PhaseThe building sensory analyzes the fol-lowing:• Air velocity, air pressure, air flow, in-

terior and exterior temperature andhumidity levels

• Gas monitoring, including oxygen,methane, carbon monoxide, hydro-

gen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogendioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydro-gen cyanide, and ammonia levels

• Audibility monitoring via transducersand real time waveform audio analy-sis including sound pressure levelmeasurements (fire releases specificaudible frequencies)

• Illuminometers measure light levels

• Optical sensors provide infrared andultraviolet analysis

• Biometrics and human image map-ping determine personnel quantityand location.

Sensory Processing PhaseThe entire pool of sensory data travelsand weaves through a vast network ofoptical threads, to a group of organicprocessors that “learn on the job”through signal cross correlation, pol-ing, pattern dynamics and access of theworld historical fire loss data archivingprocessor. (In other words, the systemshave reported what is happening inreal time and continue to update theorganic processor while comparing theresults with the world historical fireloss database.)

Threat AssessmentThe major part of this approach is theadaptive modeling. In this scenario,adaptive modeling means using thecomparison of sensor data with modelpredictions to determine if the modelinputs match the sensor data over thespecific time period. Following thisanalysis, the system will not only tellthe building operator and the fire de-partment where the fire is and alert occupants (if required), but will deter-mine the optional course or courses ofaction as follows:• 30 seconds: a robotic room service

attendant dumps water on the ash-tray (no loss)

• 120 seconds: Bob and Jim operate afire extinguisher ($300 extinguisherrecharge)

• 480 seconds: full system suppressionagent discharge ($30,000 recharge)

• 1440 seconds: suppression agent dis-charge ($1,000,000 loss) system failsand evacuates 50,000 people. Courtproceedings scheduled for 8 monthsfrom today.

The threat assessment message endswith the following friendly disclaimer:“The reliability and accuracy of alarmdecisions can be improved by increas-ing the information basis for these de-cisions. Upgrade your LS organicneural net today. Remember…SensorRich Environments Save Lives.”

So the advent of this type of systemstructure in the very near future is notlikely. Remember, we have Codes,Standards, National Research Councildata and the Authority Having Jurisdic-tion. A fully integrated building sen-sory combined with decision algorithmbased neural net computing is not onthe current radar screen. But it is fun tothink about the future. In more sensorrich environments it should be possi-ble to use information from a range ofbuilding systems to make decisions.The more research performed, the bet-ter the threat assessment.

Changing our philosophy regardingthe purpose of life safety systems willgreatly impact future life safety re-

search and develop-ment.

Human beings be-have differently during“off-normal” situations.The human psycholog-ical analysis regardingthreat assessment deci-sion algorithms incor-porated into life safetysystems has never re-ally been explored. Afew years ago, Dr.Guylene Proulx Ph.D.at the National Re-search Council ofCanada (NRC) broughtforward this issue: Is itwise to evacuate ahigh-rise building?The “Protect in Place”concept is now gain-

ing some attention. We know that typ-ically there is little response by buildingoccupants to fire alarm signals. Onlyonce occupants see smoke is the deci-sion to leave the building made.

The futuristic life safety systems musttake into account the human psycho-logical responses to both fire andalarm signals and offer solutions suchas “defend in place”, safe elevators ordesignated refuge areas. If buildingsare to be constructed over 110 storeys,these concerns must be addressed.

I believe that another important issueis related to psychoacoustics - the wayin which humans perceive sound. Fu-ture systems must be consciouslyaware of the audibility and intelligibil-ity of the fire alarm signal. If the hu-man cannot understand the message,the psychological analysis is bleak. Ibelieve that future systems will haveinternal Speech Intelligibility Analyzers(SIA). (Can you imagine someoneplaying a Bob Dylan tune through aSIA life safety system?) The CommonIntelligibility Matrix Grid HolographicReadout will look like stringed linguini.

Now that’s something to think aboutwhen the lights go out.
