Subject: a report on fire accident in our college. Sir, With reference to the accident that look took place a couple a days ago in our college, the following report is submitted after a thorough analysis of the facts. On the 7th September 2020, a fire broke out around 02:00 pm in the chemistry lab department. Suggestive measures are provided to avoid such mishaps in future. It experienced a tragic fire accident caused by leakage of electricity. Fire cause due to fluctuation in electric current and burning cable which cause the chemicals in the laboratory to catch fire quickly. It spread so quickly that it is engulfed a vast area consuming a large number of materials which is kept in the laboratory, it consumed fairly number of computers and spare part in the next computer lab. Moreover, the electrician Mr. Nitesh Patil sustain some burn injuries, because he was the only one who was present in there, others where gone out for the tea. By great struggle the fire was put off Under investigation, it was found that some sparks hard occurred due to power fluctuation and short circuit in the main line. This fire accident caused a total of 3 lakh rupees but zero casualty.

To avoid such accidents situation in the future some measures need to be taken: Workplace fires and explosions cost businesses money in property damage and worker’s compensation claims and are the highest workplace accident casualty rate.

1. Keep Equipment Accessible Electrical control panels, sprinklers, firefighting equipment, and emergency exits should never be blocked. Observe clearances when stacking anything.

2. Tidy Up Debris could fuel a fire or block exits and safety equipment. Keep workplaces free from clutter when possible and ensure that everything is stored properly.

3. Properly Discard Waste Waste chemicals and other fire hazards should be disposed of in covered metal containers. These containers should be regularly emptied.

4. Maintain Equipment Equipment that overheats or isn’t lubricated can present a fire hazard. Perform checks and maintenance and keep detailed records.

5. Report Electrical Hazards Malfunctioning equipment and faulty wiring can cause electrical fires. If something doesn’t look right, let your supervisor know.

6. Use and Store Chemicals Safely Always read Material Safety Data Sheets and labels. When using or storing hazardous chemicals, do so in properly ventilated areas and with the appropriate personal protective equipment.

7. Check Your Fire Extinguishers Check the gauges in your fire extinguishers. If the extinguisher was inspected more than a month ago, arrange for maintenance. Encourage everyone to receive proper training for fire extinguisher use. 8. Display Signage and Emergency Contact Information Your emergency numbers and college address should be posted by phone stations. Get information sheets in more than one language if necessary. Make sure that there are exit signs installed. 9. Make and Run Your Evacuation Plan Have a designated spot outside where employees can meet after an evacuation. Conduct drills twice a year and assign employees to be fire drill captains. Everyone including teachers and students should know the college policy for responding to emergencies.

Chemistry laboratory is high fire risk area. With teachers, students and chemicals there’s lots of opportunities for things to go wrong… However, providing fire detection in laboratory areas requires special thought to prevent the risk of false alarms due to the operations taking place. Ease of installation and maintenance is essential to minimize any disruption to your operations. The saying “Time is Money” is very key in manufacturing environments, where the cost of downtime is counted in £1000’s. There are many fire protection solutions which are ideal for colleges. However, you need to consider the following points to ensure you get the solution that’s right for you. Points to Consider: •

Do my operations create dust/smoke/steam?

•

How easy will it be to maintain my fire alarm system?

•

If high level access is required, will this disrupt operations? What will this cost over the system lifetime?

•

If access is required beneath the detectors to test them, is this viable during working hours? What if you restructure your factory layout – will the detectors still be accessible?

•

Is there high risk chemicals that needs specific protection?

Based on your answers to these questions, you can now consider the following options: •

Point Type Detectors are ideal for many fire detection applications in schools and colleges. However, don’t use Smoke Detection above 10.5m or heat detection above 7.5m (unless it is an RoR detector). However, point type can be tricky to maintain as access is required underneath them, so may not be the best choice if you have a complex floor layout with lots of chemical storage.

•

Beam Smoke Detection is great for protecting large areas. Mounted on perimeter walls at high level, they are easy to install and maintain, but may require high level access equipment for the maintenance. Make sure your detectors are capable of compensating for building movement!

•

High Sensitivity Smoke Detection (HSSD) is ideal for most applications. It will detect a fire very swiftly and if installed correctly can be simply maintained from ground level. However, if you’re working in a dirty environment you need to be sure you’ve got the correct air filters on your system and possibly an automatic blowthrough.

•

Linear Heat Detection Cable is really robust. It’s great for protecting round highrisk points of your facility / machinery.

•

Flame Detection is great for protecting open production / storage areas, or around key risk points where you could expect a sudden flaming fire to occur.

•

Video Fire Detection is also ideal for factory / workshop areas where you have a flaming fire risk. However, VFD systems can also detect smoke. They are ideal for protecting really highlevel buildings where conventional smoke detection systems are not swift enough to react – VFD will detect a fire as soon as the camera can ‘see’ it, resulting in really early detection.

If all the measures are implemented properly such accidents can be prevented in the future thereby no loss to human resources and property can be prevented.

Yours faithfully, Mr. Mayank Bharat Patil.
