Fire Accident

Urban road tunnels are a reasonable remedy for inconvenience due to congested road traffic. However, they bring specific threats, especially those related to the possibility of fire outbreak. This work is a case study for selected urban road tunnels. Considering tunnel specificity, road traffic intensity, and structure and based on the literature data for vehicle fire probability, the chances of a fire accident were estimated for selected tunnels in Poland. It was shown that low power tunnel fires could be expected in the 10–20-year time horizon. Although such threats cannot be disregarded, tunnel systems are designed to cope with them. The chances of a disastrous fire accident were estimated as well. Such events can occur when an HGV with flammable goods or a tanker are involved. Such accidents are fortunately very rare, but, on the other hand, that is the reason why the available data are scanty and burdened with high uncertainty. Therefore, a discussion on the reliability of the obtained results is also provided.

Fire Accident

The fire accident of heavy mineral self-dumping truck is one of the most serious disaster in mine safety production. Research on the reasons that cause fire accident is an important study for ensuring safety production. By analyzing three elements that constitute self-dumping truck fire accident, the characteristics and easy ignition points as well as major combustion parts of self-dumping truck fire accident, we confirm that the hydraulic system leakage is the major factor that causes fire. To find out the fault reason of hydraulic system oil leakage, we analyze the composition and working principle of self-dumping truck, establish leakage fault tree of hydraulic system. Based on logic relationships between each fault and fire, we get the following conclusion: hydraulic tubing damage is the highest probability event that causes oil leakage fault. In addition, we should pay attention to spare parts management factor, correct driving factor and equipment management factor. We also propose the prevention measures of leakage and fire
