ELABORATION OF A FIRE PREVENTION AND FIRE FIGHTING PROJECT IN THE MANAUS-AMAZONAS CITY

Abstract

There is a known shortage in the technical literature regarding fire prevention and fire fighting, which is often not even a constant subject in the curriculum of engineering courses. In Manaus, fire projects are regulated by the Fire Brigade Technical Standards, so there is often a technical deficiency in the preparation of these projects. In this context this work is inserted, aiming to provide a logical and normative roadmap for the correct design of fire prevention and fire prevention facilities. The object of study adopted is a Shed of 2,112.00 square meters, located in the West Zone of Manaus. The design determined a mixed fire fighting system between extinguishers and fire hydrants, requiring the adoption of elevated reservoir systems and fire pumps.
