retriever Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 But fires spread upwards towards the operating mechinism. also may take ages to evacuate a building with more than a few on each floor . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo578 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 retriever But fires spread upwards towards the operating mechinism. also may take ages to evacuate a building with more than a few on each floor . Don't knock it;) -nothing is fool proof. But it has some merit -a mininum of one each side of a high building may make a big difference to survivability beyond the reach of fire service ladder escape equipment, especially if there is an internal fire block to evacutaion of upper floors -as happened in WTC, at least the designers have given thought to the need for multiple floor evacuation and the need to protect passengers from heat and fire, -I'm impressed:-D and I'm not easily impressed.
