Purpose Informal settlements are inherently unstructured in nature, lack adequate services, regularly have high population densities and can experience social problems. Thus, fires can easily propagate rapidly through such areas, leaving thousands homeless in a single fire. The purpose of this paper is to present an appraisal of various interventions and strategies to improve fire safety in informal settlements in South Africa (globally, similar settlements are known as slums, ghettos, favelas, shantytowns, etc.), considering aspects of both technical suitability and social suitability. Design/methodology/approach This paper focusses on three specific aspects: ignition risk management, active fire protection interventions and passive fire protection interventions. These are presented within a framework to outline how they may mitigate the impact of fires. Findings Often “solutions” proposed to improve fire safety either lack a sound engineering basis, thus becoming technically inefficient, or do not consider social circumstances and community responses in settlements, thereby becoming practically, socially or economically unsuitable. It must be understood that there is no “quick fix” to this significant problem, but rather a combination of interventions can improve fire safety in general. A broad understanding of the various options available is essential when addressing this problem, which this paper seeks to provide. Practical implications This paper seeks to provide an overview to guide policymakers and organisations by illustrating both the advantages/benefits and disadvantages/challenges of the interventions and strategies currently being rolled out, as well as potential alternatives. Originality/value A broad but succinct appraisal is provided that gives insight and direction for improving fire safety in informal settlements. It is hoped that the challenges associated with the fire safety interventions discussed can be addressed and improved over time.

Применение грунта для противодействия лесным пожарам метанием фрезерными агрегатами перспективно, так как в лесах на сухих почвах, на равнине около кромки огня его имеется в большом объеме. Перспектива его применения требует автоматизации и совершенствования технологии грунтометов. Целью настоящей статьи является исследование модели перемещения грунтомета при тушении лесных пожаров, так как в основе модернизации его технологии лежит оценка динамических факторов. Методика исследования базируется на оценке влияния макросреды на работу грунтомета при тушении лесных пожаров, моделировании этого процесса на основе уравнений баланса сил и их моментов, а также численном расчете модели. Ключевым преимуществом грунтомета является параллельное выполнение спектра функций при активном тушении огня: торможение (ингибирование и засыпка огня грунтом), локализация (за счет борозды глубиной 15–30 см, с выемкой грунта) и дотушивание пожара (посредством полосы вдоль периметра пожара). Следует учесть, что случайный характер неоднородности почвы приведет к неустановившемуся режиму нагружения привода, появятся колебания частоты вращения и стохастические угловые ускорения. Фрезерование грунта при тушении пожара в отличие от землеройных машин требует высоких скоростей резания (vp > 20 м/с) и приоритет динамических факторов. Помимо этого, конструкция грунтомета обеспечивает малые значения коэффициента трения ножа фрезерной лопатки о грунт, так как происходит поперечное фрезерование почвы. Данные факторы определяют необходимость исследования модели перемещения грунтомета при значительных скоростях фрезы и регулирование вектора метания грунта на кромку огня. Результаты численного анализа модели перемещения грунтомета для создания полос при тушении пожаров на основе сил подачи и момента, действующих на фрезу в зависимости от режимов работы, сопротивления грунта резанию, кинематических параметров, свидетельствуют о спектре режимов работы грунтомета и формирования стружки почвогрунта, что позволяет оптимизировать режим работы и конструкцию грунтомета. The use of soil to counteract forest fires by throwing the milling units promising, as in the forests on dry soils, on the plains near the edge of the fire it is available in large volume. The purpose of this article is to study the patterns of movement of grundomat at suppression of forest fires due to the fact that the modernization of its technology is the assessment of dynamic factors. Research methodology is based on the evaluation of the influence of macro environment on the work of grundomat when fighting forest fires, the modeling of this process on the basis of balance equations of forces and moments, and a numerical model calculation. A key advantage of grundomat is a parallel implementation of the whole range of functions with the active fire suppression: inhibition (inhibition and backfilling of fire ground), localization (through the furrow to a depth of 15–30 cm, excavation) and drying fire (by means of a band around the perimeter of the fire). Note that the random nature of the heterogeneity of the soil will lead to transient loading conditions of the drive, there will be speed variations, and stochastic angular acceleration. Cutting during fire fighting, in contrast to earth-moving machinery requires high cutting speeds (vp > 20 m/s) and dynamic priority factors. In addition, the design provides grantomet small values of the coefficient of friction of the milling knife blades on the ground, as the transverse milling of the soil. These factors determine the need for the development of milling technology, with a significant speeds and a regulating vector of throwing soil on the edge of the fire. The results of numerical analysis of the model move grantomet to create lanes for fire extinguishing on the basis of forces of supply and moment acting on the mill depending on modes of ground resistance to cutting, kinematic parameters indicate a range of modes of grantomet and chip formation of soil, which allows to optimize the operation and design of grundomat.

Cast iron is primarily used in buried piping to transport water in the fire protection system of nuclear power plants; ductile cast iron is generally used for domestic nuclear power plants. In general, the fluid used as fire-extinguishing water in such fire protection systems is tap water, and corrosion inhibitors are not currently added. In this study, the synergistic effect of an adsorption barrier (monoethanolamine) and oxidized film in an environment with a corrosion inhibitor (tungstate) is examined, and the corresponding passivation properties are presented. An immersion corrosion test and electrochemical test in tap water to which only tungstate was added showed suppression of corrosion compared to molybdate at the same concentration. The polarization resistance value of a passivation film in tap water mixed with monoethanolamine and tungstate showed better results than that of the molybdate control. A surface analysis in mixed addition tap water also demonstrated that oxygen ions were sufficiently distributed, including at some spheroidized graphite sites, when tungstate was added compared to molybdate. In addition, the amount of tungsten ions adsorbed on the surface was larger than that of molybdenum ions, and it was confirmed that tungsten ions were evenly distributed over the entire surface.
