Fire Brigade Intervention Model CD

This CD contains the Fire Brigade Intervention Model (FBIM), which is an event based methodology, used to model the activities and tasks of the Fire Brigade. The Model defines events that are likely to occur during a building fire, from ignition through to control and extinguishment.

The Model was developed for use in fire engineering design and in a performance-based regulatory environment, so that the functional role of the Fire Brigade can be incorporated into the building design process. It provides the framework to measure Fire Brigade tasks on a time-line basis, and to utilise the output of other sub-systems in the decision process.

FBIM includes detailed analysis of time data for Fire Brigade tasks and activities. It is adaptable to suit most brigade types, crew sizes, resource limitations etc, since decisions are incorporated within the expertise of local fire brigade input.
