Introduction: Fire cases increase in residential buildings because short circuits, at dormitories are mostly affected by human factors. X university dormitory building is a place for 24 hours of students’ activities with a lot of electricity consumption, bad behavior; overpowering extensions, and many flammable objects such as paper and furniture. Research objectives are to investigate the appropriateness and mapping needs of fire protection systems with regulations. Methods: The research is a semi quantitative analysis. Primary data is conducted with observations by using a checklist form that refers to the regulations and results of managers' interviews. The obtained data are categorized into good with suitability >79-100%, moderate ≥60%-79% and poor <60%. Result: The appropriateness of the active fire protection system is under 60% or in the poor category. The appropriateness of the fire extinguisher is 47.77%, the hydrant is 58.75%, the alarm is 18.75% and the heat detector is 35.90%. There is no sprinkler installation in the dormitory building and no commitment from the top management regarding occupational safety and health. Fire extinguisher’s need is 10 tubes per floor, the number of hydrants have been fulfilled, alarm requires an additional 1 unit on each floor and a heat detector requires a total of 114 units. Conclusion: The active fire protection system is still under 60% (poor category) and no maintenances. Based on the aforementioned mapping results, it needs to add the number of piece equipment according to the regulations and maintenance efforts.Keywords: active fire protection system, dormitory, mapping

In the last decade, the problem of fires in the natural landscapes of Ukraine has aggravated due to climate change, changes in society and land use. Catastrophic wildfires in 2014, 2015 and 2020 indicate that Ukraine is now in the new climate conditions in terms of the level of fire danger. It is clear that in such conditions departmental forest and landscapes fire protection system is incapable of control over the situation. Such situation requires an analysis of the effectiveness of the existing forest and landscapes fire protection system and its improvement in accordance with new risks and challenges. Based on the methods of RS with the help of modern software products, it was established that in Ukraine over the past 19 years wildfires have damaged 38.4 million hectares of natural areas, an average of 2.0 million hectares annually. The most severe problem of wildfires is observed in the southern and eastern parts of Ukraine, where forest cover is low, part of agricultural lands is large (over 70%), which indicates, first of all, a problem of agricultural fires. In comparison to fires (burnings) on agricultural lands, the problem of forest fires does not seem very significant. Yet, taking into the account especially large forest fires in Ukraine during 2007 – 2020 that have led to human deaths, destruction of residential buildings, manufacture and social infrastructure, which has resulted in enormous ecological and economical losses, it is clear that forest fire protection system requires deep analysis and appropriate decisions for its improvement. The article is devoted to the study of fires in the natural landscapes of Ukraine, analysis of the current forest and landscapes fire protection system and ways to improve it. The first step towards establishing a modern fire management system in Ukraine should aim at establishing a reliable national fire statistics system, which would highlight the real problem and include all type of landscape fires - in open lands and in forests. The scientific article represents analyzes the landscape fires for the period 2001-2019 according to the global products of the MODIS system. Also in the article, performed the analysis of the components of the current fire management system and the main shortcomings and key recommendations for its improvement are formulated.

Introduction: The hospital is a place that is quite prone to fire hazards. Ernaldi Bahar has various characteristics of activities that have the potential to cause fires such as medical and administrative activities that use electrical installations as well as the use of intensive fire sources in kitchens, laundry or generator rooms as well as the presence of relatively high burning materials sourced from various medicines, chemicals, LPG gas cylinders and oxygen. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the implementation of active fire protection system at Ernaldi Bahar. Methods: This study uses qualitative methods with observational approaches, interviews and document studies. Result: The results showed that the active fire protection system at Ernaldi Bahar Hospital is well categorized with a percentage of 69% value with the results of fire alarm analysis based on Kepmen PU No.10 Year 2000, NFPA 72 and SNI 03-3985-2000 (81%), fire detector analysis based on NFPA 2000 and SNI 03-3985-2000 (100%), apar analysis based on NFPA 10 (89%), building hydrant analysis based on Permen PU No.26 Year 2008 and SNI 03-1745-2000 (73%), analysis of page hydrants based on Permen PU No.26 Year 2008 and SNI 03-1745-2000 (73%), and Sprinkler analysis based on SNI 03-3989-2000 (0%). Conclusion: Active fire protection system has been implemented well with a percentage of 69% value but it need some improvement in maintenance, placement, recording and completeness of active fire protection system components. Keywords: Hospital, Fire, Active Fire Protection System

After sixteen years of operation, it became apparent that the pit fire protection system installed during construction of the Spokane Regional Waste to Energy (WTE) Facility (1989–1991) was inadequate. A risk analysis was performed by Creighton Engineering Inc., a fire protection consulting firm, hired by the Spokane Regional Solid Waste System (Regional System) and Wheelabrator Spokane Inc. With input from Spokane County Fire District 10 and the City of Spokane Fire Department, a replacement supplemental fire protection system was designed and ultimately installed. This paper will describe the problems with the once state of the art fire system and the planning, design and installation of the new system.
