Considering the increasing growth of cities, population and urban fabric density, it seems necessary that emergency facilities and services such as fire stations are positioned optimally so that they can fulfill the demands well. The aim of this study is the optimization of equipment use in the fire stations, minimization the time to arrive at the incident through management of referral call to...

introduction the fire services play a key role in safety issues for any country. the operations of the services have a high visibility since the public is aware of its own vulnerability and possibly vital reliance on the service. firemen and women are rightly admired, particularly as their intervention may carry a risk to their own lives. more generally, this service comes at a considerable cos...

aid uses, including fire stations, according to critical activities that are responsible, in comparison to other city services, are more important. identify areas where are located outside of the fire stations covered services can help urban planners to site selection of this important land use. the purpose of this paper is detection the areas that are beyond the services coverage of the fire s...

Facility location problem involves locating a facility to optimize some performance measures. Location of a public facility to serve the community, such as a fire station, significantly affects its service quality. Main objective in locating a fire station is to minimize the response time, which is the time duration between receiving a call and reaching the place of incident. In metropolitan ar...

With the advancement in human technology the risk of natural and man induced catastrophes increased exponentially. One of most dangerous disaster is forest fire. The forest fire represents continuous threat to species of flora as well as fauna. This paper highlights the powerful feature of wireless sensors for forest fire detection. The sensor data is collected using Arduino development board a...

The location of fire stations at a fire & rescue service is an important factor in its fire protection capability. This paper aims to determine the optimal location of fire station facilities. The method proposed here is the combination of a fuzzy multi-objective programming and a genetic algorithm. The reason of using this method is that the decision of where to locate fire stations depends up...

the purpose of this study was to compare symptoms of ptsd among war affected people and employees in the fire station. totally, 60 people affected by war and 60 fire workers were selected using simple random sampling. by completing pcl inventory, samples of ptsd were characterized. data was analysed through spss software by independent t-test. as the results showed, severity of ptsd symptoms am...

filling stations inside the urban environment are known as one of the existing and potential dangers in cities which according to their centralized fire load can be of high safety importance. tehran holds 101 active filling stations faced to extreme accidents and high explosion potentials. in this study, 59 out of 101 gas stations were investigated under the fire risk assessment implementation....
