Application of Fire Research
As the name suggests, fire research is a field that employs a statistical and measurable approach in the handling and deterrence of fire outbreaks. Science aids with the collection and analysis of quantifiable information concerning a given phenomenon in a bid to ensure that a situation or problem is adequately handled for optimal resource consumption (Lindsey, & Mic, 2010). From various investigations, it is evident that science engages research through observation, data gathering through the use of questionnaires or interviews, creating a theoretical outline, testing research premises, offering proposals for dealing with a given problem and finally, the study’s outcomes. The same approach is therefore presently employed by the scientific community and firemen towards enhanced fire handling practices through pragmatic preventive procedures.
Over time, observations have generated information on areas that experience fire breakages, the identified reasons for the fire outbreak and the environmental issues that may have enhanced the given situation. Through such, various research questions are developed to gain a higher comprehension of the issue. The results are quite useful to firefighters by aiding in instances such as enhancing precision with regard to fire perils. Various fire training institutions have used the approach to instruct firefighters on distinct phases in which fires start, develop and extend, toxic elements present in the fire and how to alleviate them, use of automated simulations in obtaining the most useful evacuation processes towards the affected individuals with regard to time, and thermal features of different materials, amongst others (Drysdale, 2011).
Presently, fire research has expanded to accommodate other academic disciplines like psychology to aid in understanding human conduct such as clustering once a fire occurs, and chemistry to deal with the structure and components of given materials. Physics deals with issues like velocity calculations in terms of fire spreads while mathematics aids with distance and time computations for fast and safe evacuations.
