RETRACTED: Multicriteria analysis of firefighter routes in buildings in the case of a fire

Abstract

In buildings, in case of fire, the forming of routes is of primary importance and will make it possible to identify areas that collapse or allow smoke to spread, eliminating potential threats. These include locations with people who were in the building at the beginning of the fire or explosive objects of mainly domestic use. The purpose of the research is to determine the main criteria when the route of firefighter groups is based on minimizing the likelihood of getting into dangerous situations and increasing the efficiency of firefighting. It mainly used the simulation method, which required setting the problem in conditions when not only were the foci of smoke spread and the fire itself not completely known, but also situations where another firefighter group could stay in the building. It was determined that the criteria that must be taken into account when forming the firefighters’ route in the building, met the requirements for the route formation in the event of a collision with other firefighter groups and determined the likelihood of synchronous movement when detecting dangers not previously anticipated when monitoring factors.
