Hinder för omedelbar och effektiv räddningsinsats : En analys gällande bränder i industri-, reparation- eller service/tillverkningsbyggnader som handhar gasflaskor
In March 2012, a fire began in an industrial property in Kiruna. At the arrival of the fire brigade, the fire was relatively confined. Unsuccessful attempts to find and retrieve all compressed gas cylinders, called for an establishment of an initial cordon (exclusion zone) and evacuation zone, due t...

In March 2012, a fire began in an industrial property in Kiruna. At the arrival of the fire brigade, the fire was relatively confined. Unsuccessful attempts to find and retrieve all compressed gas cylinders, called for an establishment of an initial cordon (exclusion zone) and evacuation zone, due to risk of explosion. The fire could not be confined within the initial enclosure or fought down, despite the brigades attempts to cool the fire. The rescue operation ended nearly 39 hours after the fire departments arrival. The property and all the vehicles inside, were perished in the fire. The purpose of this report is to investigate if these course of event is an issue in a national perspective. The question is if similar situations are occurring frequently and if it had been possible to salvage anything in those fires, if there had not been any gas cylinders to consider.
