Case Studies of Fire Affected Buildings and Safety Improvement Strategies

Property management is entrusted with the responsibility of protecting and preserving commercial buildings. Constant attention is required to minimize adverse impact due to fire. Fire safety system is the essential part of any building although its been not taken into considerations by the building developers and planners, thus it is necessary to take initiatives for development of fire safety system.The present fire safety system of surat city is good but have some of the lackings as it is not developed as per the municipal corporation norms, so more cases of fire bursting out has been arised due to improper fire safety system and also due to less maintainance . Thus at the time of fire the building structure gets damage heavily and there are chances of casualities. In these project the commercial buildings suffered by the fire problems would be surveyed and compared with SMC norms and lackings in the safety system will be shown and its upgradatiopn will be given so as to provide a better and safer fire safety system. Also upgradation and lacking in comparision with international fire safety norms will be given so as to develop the building life to its maximum. Thus properly designed, installed, and maintained, these upgraded systems can overcome deficiencies in risk management, building construction, and emergency response. These may also provide enhanced flexibility of building design and increase the overall level of fire safety.
