HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONS
• In 2005, there were 1,602,000 fires reported in U.S.– 511,000 structure fires
• 3,105 civilian deaths• 15,325 civilian injuries• $9.2 billion in property damage
– 87 firefighter deaths in all types of fires– >4000 firefighters injured by smoke inhalation
– It is estimated up to 80% of all fire fatalities are attributable to smoke inhalation
2005 FIRE STATISTICS
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONS
• Toxic composition of smoke varies from fire to fire
– Nature of the burning materials– Temperature– Oxygen level– Ventilation
• Conditions of high temperature and low oxygen Conditions of high temperature and low oxygen enhance degradation of synthetics, quickening the enhance degradation of synthetics, quickening the release of toxic chemicals into the smoke.release of toxic chemicals into the smoke.
ANATOMY OF FIRE SMOKE
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONS
• Historically, carbon monoxide asphyxiation has been considered the primary cause of deaths of those overcome by smoke– Focus of gas monitoring to determine exposures
• There is mounting evidence that hydrogen cyanide is directly responsible for many more deaths than previously assumed– Cumulative effect of Hydrogen Cyanide poisoning
with CO is worse than either gas individually
CYANIDE TOXICITY IN SMOKE
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONS
““Cyanide toxicity from smoke Cyanide toxicity from smoke inhalation in a structural or inhalation in a structural or enclosed space fire is the most enclosed space fire is the most likely cause of cyanide toxicity that likely cause of cyanide toxicity that EMS & Fire professionals will ever EMS & Fire professionals will ever encounterencounter””
JEMS Communications Summer 2004
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONS
• Cyanide production in a fire– Hydrogen cyanide is produced by incomplete
combustion of nitrogen and carbon containing substances (-C≡N)
• Natural Fibers (wool, silk, cotton, paper)• Synthetic polymers (nylon, polyurethane)• Synthetic rubber• Melamine (resins for molding, laminating, etc.)
CYANIDE PRODUCING MATERIALS
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONS
• Synthetic polymers found extensively in structures– Insulation– Cushioning– Carpets– Bedding (mattresses and pillows)– Building materials
• Materials can burn up to 2-3 times hotter and faster than natural materials – Quicker flashovers increase speed of HCN release ---
HCN RELEASING POLYMERS
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSOther sources of Cyanide
• Other small scale uses:
- Photography labs- Blue printing- Engraving computer chips- Cleaning or reconditioning of jewelry- Found at clandestine drug labs
- manufacturing phencyclidine (PCP)
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSKey Cyanide Studies
• Two independent studies performed on CN toxicity
- Paris France (1988-89) - 109 fire victims( 66 survivors and 43 fatalities) 144 controlled individuals(drug intoxication and CO poisoning) - Dallas County Texas - 144 smoke inhalation patients at University of Texas Health Science Center Emergency Department - 43 deceased individuals at Dallas County
medical examiners office.
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSKEY CYANIDE STUDIES
• Final Conclusion:
- Cyanide and carbon monoxide were both important determinants of smoke inhalation-associated morbidity and mortality.
- Cyanide concentrations were directly related to the probability of death.
- Cyanide may have dominated over CO as a cause of death in some fire victims. - Cyanide and CO may have potentiated the toxic effects of one another
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONS
• Most notorious incident of deaths from toxic mix of hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide was at the West Warwick Rhode Island Station Nightclub fire Feb 20,2003– Pyrotechnics instantly set substandard sound
suppressing foam into sheet of flame– HCN and CO levels soar and people are quickly
overcome by the smoke• 100 deaths and 200 injuries
THE STATION NIGHTCLUB FIRE
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSThe Station Night Club Fire
• National Institute of Standards and Technology“the high temperatures, low oxygen, high carbon
monoxide, and high HCN levels within the test room in the absence of a sprinkler all contributed to a non-tenable condition within 90 seconds after ignition.”
• Health care providers at all levels of this tragedy did not consider HCN exposure during course of treatment for the surviving victims.
• New England Journal of Medicine published report:“despite the signs and symptoms indicating CN poisoning, the victims were treated with standard modalities for burns and CO toxicity”

• March 24, 2006 02:07 hrs. 70 Ralph Street
Providence Rhode Island firefighters responded to a house fire All firefighter responding to Ralph St. had previously responded to Knight Street fire. At 02:23 hrs. Firefighter Kenneth Baker collapsed at the scene suffering a heart attack.Immediately resuscitated and transported to Rhode Island Hospital
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSCyanide Poisoning of Rhode Island FirefightersMarch 2006
• In light of the cyanide cases from the previous day, testing was conducted on Firefighter Baker.Lab test showed that FF. Baker had whole blood cyanide level of 66ug/dl
• After consulting with doctors at Rhode Island Hospital, all members who responded to any of the three fires were instructed to go to Rhode Island Hospital if they experienced any symptoms to cyanide poisoning.
28 members sought medical care27 had their cyanide levels tested8 members tested high (above 20 ug/dl) for cyanide
• Fire Chief David Costa appointed a five member committee to investigate the causes of cyanide poisoning, review existing policies and procedures, and make recommendations to prevent this from happening again.
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONS
Health Effects of HCN on Firefighters
HEALTH EFFECTS OF HCN
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSACUTE CYANIDE POISONING
• Hydrogen cyanide is a cellular asphyxiant– Inhaled HCN inhibits enzyme system responsible for cell respiration
(oxygen utilization by cell)– Cessation of cell respiration makes normal cell function impossible,
leading to cell mortality
• There is no quick test that allows on-site confirmation of HCN toxicity
• There are some signs that can lead to assumption of HCN exposure and administration of countermeasures– Disorientation and weakness/Drowsiness– Shortness of breath and chest tightness(Tachypnea, Dyspnea Tachycardia)– Headache– Bright red discoloration in skin– Smell of almonds on breath– Soot around mouth and nose/burns– Carbonaceous sputum
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSCHRONIC EFFECTS OF HCN
• Chronic (extended time)effects of hydrogen cyanide– Breathing problems/Respiratory Depression to Respiratory
Arrest– Chest pain / Cardiac arrhythmia/Cardiovascular collapse– Eye irritation/vision dimming– Palpitations– Headaches– Loss of appetite– Weakness in extremities/ Paralysis– Enlargement of thyroid gland
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSAcute Cyanide Poisoning
• Significance for advocates of “sucking the carpet”- carpet fibers are a large source of HCN- fumes develop long before carpet catches fire.
• Quantitative decomposition- long period of time when gas is emitted without
the warning presence of flame.- decomposition stage of the fire is more toxic
than those emitted during actual burning. - decomposition stage is the real killer because of
its high toxicity and long period of time between attainment of quantitative decomposition temperature and ignition temperature
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSAcute Cyanide Poisoning
• Narcotic effects of HCN-blamed for bizarre and irrational behavior - instances where victims, including firefighters fought with rescuers until becoming totally overcome by the smoke.
• Southwest Supermarket fire Phoenix Arizona - Brett Tarver - rescue teams were hampered on several occasions
- succumbed to the environment and pulled through debris and out of the building.

• Recently there has been the first FDA approved cyanide treatment, Hydroxocobalamin, that can safely be administered at a fire scene– Detoxifies CN by binding it to form cyanocobalamin (B12)– Marketed as Cyanokit®– Used in France for 10 years
– Previously, only supportive measures were available on site• 100% oxygen application• Sodium bicarbonate to counter metabolic acidosis• Cardiopulmonary support and anticonvulsants
– Existing antidote involved nitrates that needed to be monitored under hospital care to avoid lethality when combined with CO

HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONS
• Removal of respiratory equipment during overhaul can Removal of respiratory equipment during overhaul can expose firefighters to a wide variety of toxic gasesexpose firefighters to a wide variety of toxic gases– Overhaul phase of fire lasts an average of 30 minutes– Liberated gases, vapors and particulates may remain in overhaul
environment for extended periods of time• Vapors may use airborne respirable particulates as entry vehicle into
firefighters’ lungs
– Maximum concentrations of selected contaminants can exceed occupational exposure limits
• Adverse health effects may occur from exposure to mixture of products even if individual components are below exposure limits
– Monitoring CO concentrations alone should not be used to predict presence of other contaminants found in the overhaul environment

Conclusions of Phoenix StudiesConclusions of Phoenix Studies
• Without the use of respiratory protection, firefighters are Without the use of respiratory protection, firefighters are overexposed to irritants, chemical asphyxiates and carcinogensoverexposed to irritants, chemical asphyxiates and carcinogens
• Respiratory protection is recommended during fire overhaulRespiratory protection is recommended during fire overhaul– SCBA should be utilized in atmospheres with CO > 150 ppm
– APRs may be considered when CO < 150 ppm, but additional studies to confirm effectiveness in overhaul operations are recommended
• NIOSH cartridges for APR don’t provide CO protection• 150 ppm equates to avg. 18.75 ppm exposure based on 60 minute exposure and
8-hour working day (TLV= 25 ppm)
- Post-fire fuels are still off-gassing, SCBA’s should be used.Post-fire fuels are still off-gassing, SCBA’s should be used.
PHOENIX OVERHAUL STUDIES
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSRecommendations for prevention of cyanide exposures
• Training - Explanation why cyanide is more significant today than
ever before.- Chemistry of cyanide- Identification of cyanide containing fuels- Medical concerns of cyanide- Why firefighters cannot merely rely on their past
experiences to determine whether or not a particular atmosphere is safe.
• Equipment - Deploy cyanide detection equipment into the field for use
at fires.
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSRecommendations for prevention of cyanide exposures
• Compliance - There needs to be enhanced compliance with the existing mandatory mask regulation.
- Enhanced compliance will require a cultural Enhanced compliance will require a cultural change on the part of firefighters. change on the part of firefighters. -
• Company officers must focus on the protection of their members, and ensure that SCBA’s are utilized when necessary and face pieces removed outside the contaminated area when exiting the structure.
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSRecommendation for prevention of cyanide exposures
• SCBA Training for difficult operations- All personnel need physical training with SCBA
to enhance the comfort level of members when engaged in difficult operations such as:
- climbing ladders- operating on roofs- operating in confined spaces- communicating on air
• SCBA Air ManagementSCBA alarms activated during initial
extinguishment and during overhaul
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSRecommendations for Prevention of Cyanide Poisoning
• Post-Fire Decontamination- Wash turnout gear after each fire- Shower and change their clothes - Issue second set of gear
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSRecommendations for Prevention of Cyanide Poisoning
• Discussion Questions:
- How much cyanide is generated at fire scenes?
- What conditions yield higher verses lower concentrations of CN?- When CN is released in a fire, does it remain localized (in an area around the fuel that is off
gassing) or does it spread out throughout the building?- Is CN released only under certain fire conditions
or is it released more commonly whenever CN containing products burn?
HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN FIRE OPERATIONSRecommendations for Prevention of Cyanide Poisoning
• Public Education- General public, media and legislators need to be educated about the dangers of smoldering and burning plastics and other cyanide containing
fuels.
• - Public needs to know the dangers associated with CN may be present before the presence of any
flames and that they could possibly become
incapacitated by the invisible gases during the
incipient stage which could prevent them from
safely escaping.
