From theEditor’s Desk

This has been quite a busy and productive three-month period in the life of our Association. Some of the activity has been quite obvious to our members. For example our Manitoba and Ontario Chapters recently presented well-attended day-long

Technical Seminars.

Our CFAA National offi ce relocation has been completed and our staff members love the new ‘digs’.

Much also has happened on the educational front. One example is the complete up-date of the Course 5 materials including a new Manual (now in optional three-ring format) along with supporting materials such as study guides, assignments and exams. Colleges and our own Distance Learning Program are now using the new materials.

But what is not yet obvious is the construction of a completely new CFAA web-site. Building of the site has been on-going for over eight months and is now in the ‘tire-kicking’ phase. We expect to bring it live in June. We are quite excited about the new site because it will be fully interactive. It will be possible for you to go on-line and register for, and print tickets for, next years Seminars across Canada. In addition, our Registered CFAA Technicians will be able to renew their membership status on-line. Plus an easier-to-follow structure for all sorts of industry news and information. Watch for it!!! Same address!!!

We are very pleased to carry an article relating to potential improvements to fi re/life safety, and possible technical up-grades to existing Fire Alarm Systems. Th is particular situation is in a retail environment, however the discussion could as easily revolve around diff erent occupancies. In the course of our daily work, most of us relate directly to existing buildings and the owner who feels that a system up-grade is not yet necessary. Th is article touches on the several considerations involved in such an open discussion.

Please pay special attention to the Chapter News Section. You will read that our Manitoba Chapter held a day-long Technical Seminar in Winnipeg on April 5th. And in May, our Ontario Chapter presented their annual day-long Technical Seminar in Toronto.

We encourage you to become involved in the activities of your local Chapter.

Yours in Fire Safety,

Allen Hodgson, Editor-in-Chief

Ces trois derniers mois ont été très occupés et productifs dans la vie de notre Association. Certaines des activités ont été très apparentes pour nos membres. Par exemple, nos sections régionales du Manitoba et de l’Ontario ont récemment présenté

des séminaires techniques d’une journée qui ont attiré beaucoup de participants.

Le déménagement de notre bureau national ACAI est maintenant terminé, et les membres de notre personnel adorent leur nouvel endroit.

Beaucoup de choses se sont également produites du côté de l’éducation. Par exemple, la mise à jour complète du matériel entourant le Cours 5, notamment un nouveau manuel (maintenant en format optionnel à trois anneaux) ainsi que le matériel de soutien, comme les guides d’étude, les travaux et les examens. Les collèges et notre propre Programme de formation à distance utilisent désormais le nouveau matériel.

Ce qui n’est pas encore évident est la construction du tout nouveau site Internet de l’ACAI. La construction du site se poursuit depuis les huit derniers mois, et elle se trouve maintenant à la phase du « fi gnolage ». Nous prévoyons le mettre en ligne au mois de juin. Nous sommes très emballés par ce nouveau site, car il sera entièrement interactif. Il vous sera possible d’aller en ligne et de vous inscrire aux séminaires de l’année prochaine partout au Canada, puis d’imprimer les billets. Aussi, nos techniciens ACAI reconnus seront en mesure de renouveler leur adhésion en ligne. Tout cela en plus d’une structure simple à suivre pour toutes sortes de nouvelles et d’informations concernant l’industrie. Surveillez-le!!! Même adresse!!!

Nous sommes très heureux de présenter un article visant les améliorations potentielles à la sécurité incendie et à la sécurité des personnes, et les mises à niveau possibles des systèmes d’alarme incendie existants. Cette situation en particulier se présente dans un environnement de vente au détail; toutefois, la discussion pourrait très bien se prêter à d’autres usages. Dans le cours de nos tâches quotidiennes, la plupart d’entre nous travaillent directement dans les bâtiments existants, avec le propriétaire qui ne sent pas qu’une mise à niveau du système est nécessaire en ce moment. Cet article touche plusieurs considérations concernant une telle discussion ouverte.

Veuillez porter une attention particulière à la Nouvelles des sections régionales. Vous noterez que la section régionale du Manitoba a tenu un séminaire technique d’une journée à Winnipeg le 5 avril. De plus, au mois de mai, notre section régionale de l’Ontario a présenté son séminaire technique d’une journée à Toronto.

Nous vous encourageons à vous investir dans les activités de votre section locale.

En toute sécurité incendie,

Allen Hodgson, rédacteur en chef

What benefits can retail facilities gain from updating their Fire Alarm Systems?

A Fire Alarm System upgrade can improve areas of detection, signalling, and off -site monitoring. It reduces the risk of high maintenance costs and disruption in operations. Older, legacy systems are much more prone to incidents involving poor detection, false alarms and excessive maintenance. Th is is especially vital for single or multi-story properties that have a large retail space and high foot traffi c. Retailers should engage fi re and security experts to ensure the fi re alarm system has a positive impact and is not an impediment to Risk and Crisis Management plans. What potential impact can older legacy systems have on a retail facility’s “bottom line”?

More than ever, retailers are focusing on security and operating effi ciency. Unfortunately, the fi re alarm may not receive the attention necessary to evaluate its impact on the business’ Profi t & Loss (P&L) statement. Operating a legacy system for many years is advantageous to controlling life-cycle costs; however, investing in newer technology off ers fi nancial benefi ts beyond just keeping a legacy fi re protection system active. A fi re alarm retrofi t improves areas of detection, notifi cation and monitoring; all providing a positive contribution to a retail operation’s P&L.Can you elaborate on the benefits of upgrading a system’s detection?

One aspect of the fi re alarm system that warrants an update is duct smoke detection in the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. Conventional or intelligent duct smoke detectors installed 10+ years ago are more susceptible to dust that commonly accumulates in an HVAC system than those on the market today. Without the advanced warning provided by today’s technology, this leads to an emergency condition on the fi re alarm panel. Local codes may require the facility to be evacuated;

therefore, creating a disruption to the business. Imagine a false alarm on an important selling day!

A solution is to use the latest technology in conventional duct smoke detectors with means of notifying the Loss Prevention personnel when the device is reaching the point of requiring service. Another option is the use of intelligent duct smoke detectors with multiple levels of service indicators which are displayed at the system’s addressable fi re alarm control panel. Th ese warnings allow for a non-emergency visit by a qualifi ed fi re alarm technician before an emergency alarm situation occurs.

In addition to the advanced warning feature, sensing technology has drastically improved over time to reduce false alarms and increase speed of detection. Upgrading legacy duct smoke detectors along with a service agreement with a qualifi ed fi re alarm company are the right steps in maintaining up-time and reducing out-of-budget expenses. What can a newer Fire Alarm System really offer?

As the need increases to communicate specifi c instructions and capture the attention of building occupants, voice evacuation systems are used as part of fi re alarm notifi cation. Voice evacuation systems have become more and more prevalent due to changing fi re alarm codes and the need to overcome society’s desensitization to standard fi re alarm horns. Legacy systems are mainly horn-type notifi cation, which does not allow for specifi c messages to be communicated.

As an integral part of a fi re alarm system, a voice evacuation system provides the functionality of communicating either pre-recorded or live instructions to occupants. It serves the purpose of evacuation for a fi re alarm while providing the capability of specifi c, live voice messages. Th ere are advantages to using the digital voice evacuation system versus a standard public address (PA) system

for emergency communications, which include: 1) intelligibility of the announcement; and 2) continuous supervision of the system to ensure it is 100% operational. You mentioned the monitoring of fire alarm systems can be improved with new technology. How?

Th e ability to receive and review detailed emergency information from the fi re alarm systems in all store locations is benefi cial for Loss Prevention professionals. Information from the individual locations helps identify issues early and reduce the loss side of the P&L equation. Traditional monitoring included communications to an off -premises Fire-Signal Receiving Station over phone lines. Historically, this has been done with a digital alarm communicator transmitter that may not easily lend itself to simultaneous reporting to two locations.

A solution is an IP/GSM Communicator that can provide detailed emergency information and communicate over an existing TCP/IP (Internet) and cell phone network to the Fire-Signal Receiving Station and corporate offi ce. Specifi c, timely information regarding the status of the fi re alarm system can be transmitted to IP Receivers and individuals through e-mail and text message alerts in both locations. Moreover, the monthly cost of leasing two phone lines or DVACS (digital voice access control system) traditionally used for fi re alarm communications with a Fire Signal Receiving Station can be eliminated. Increased performance and decreased monitoring costs adds real value when considering a Fire Alarm System retrofi t. What should we expect from a Fire Alarm System retrofit program in a retail environment?

Enhanced automatic detection capabilities for early warning, improved signalling capabilities for greater occupant safety, and improved security of off -site monitoring.

All of the above should provide enhanced occupant safety, reduced fi re-loss projections, and fewer business interruptions caused by nuisance alarms and maintenance problems.

Altogether, a positive boost both to safety and to the bottom line.

Quels avantages les installations de vente au détail peuvent-elles tirer de la mise à niveau de leurs réseaux avertisseurs d’incendie?

La mise à niveau d’un réseau avertisseur d’incendie peut améliorer les zones de détection, la signalisation et la surveillance hors site. Elle contribue à réduire les coûts de maintenance élevés et limite l’interruption des opérations. Les anciens systèmes sont beaucoup plus sujets aux incidents impliquant une mauvaise détection, aux fausses alarmes et à la maintenance excessive. Cela est spécialement essentiel dans les établissements à un étage et à plusieurs étages qui off rent un vaste espace de vente au détail, où il y a beaucoup de circulation. Les détaillants devraient faire appel aux experts en matière d’incendie et de sécurité afi n de s’assurer que le réseau avertisseur d’incendie est un élément positif, et ne représente pas un obstacle aux plans de gestion des risques et des crises. Quelle est la répercussion possible des anciens systèmes sur le « bénéfice net » d’un commerce de détail?

Maintenant, plus que jamais, les détaillants se concentrent sur la sécurité et l’effi cacité de l’exploitation. Malheureusement, l’attention nécessaire n’est pas toujours portée sur le réseau avertisseur d’incendie afi n d’évaluer son impact sur l’état des résultats de l’entreprise. L’exploitation d’un ancien système pendant de nombreuses années est avantageuse au contrôle des coûts du cycle de vie; toutefois, le fait d’investir dans une technologie plus récente off re des avantages fi nanciers bien supérieurs au fait de garder l’ancien réseau avertisseur d’incendie actif. La mise à niveau d’un réseau avertisseur d’incendie améliore les zones de détection, la signalisation et la surveillance; tout cela contribue de manière positive à l’état des résultats d’un établissement de vente au détail.

Pouvez-vous fournir plus de précision sur les avantages de la mise à niveau de la détection d’un système?

Un aspect du réseau avertisseur d’incendie qui justifi e une mise à niveau est la détection de fumée dans les conduits des installations de chauff age, des systèmes de ventilation et de conditionnement d’air (CVCA). Les détecteurs de fumée classiques ou intelligents dans les conduits âgés de 10 ans et plus sont plus susceptibles à la poussière qui s’accumule habituellement dans les systèmes CVCA que ceux off erts sur le marché aujourd’hui. Sans le signal avancé fourni par la technologie d’aujourd’hui, cela mène à un état d’urgence sur le panneau avertisseur d’incendie. Les codes locaux peuvent exiger l’évacuation de l’établissement, perturbant ainsi les aff aires du commerce. Imaginez une fausse alarme lors d’une journée de vente importante!

Une des solutions possibles consiste à utiliser la technologie la plus récente pour les détecteurs de fumée classiques dans les conduits comprenant un moyen d’aviser le personnel de prévention des pertes lorsque le dispositif nécessite un entretien. Une autre option consiste à utiliser des détecteurs de fumée intelligents dans les conduits avec de multiples niveaux d’indicateurs de service, qui sont affi chés sur le panneau de commande adressable du système. Ces avertissements permettent les visites d’un technicien en alarme incendie qualifi é lors de situations dites « ordinaires », soit avant qu’une situation d’alarme d’urgence se produise.

En plus de la fonction de signal avancé, la technologie de détection s’est considérablement améliorée avec le temps afi n de réduire le nombre de fausses alarmes et d’augmenter la vitesse de détection. La mise à niveau des anciens détecteurs de fumée dans les conduits ainsi qu’une entente de service avec une entreprise en alarme incendie qualifi ée sont les bonnes étapes

à suivre pour maintenir le temps de disponibilité et réduire les dépenses non prévues au budget. Que peut réellement offrir un réseau avertisseur d’incendie plus récent?

Les systèmes d’évacuation à signaux vocaux sont utilisés comme moyen de signalisation lors d’une alarme incendie pour répondre au besoin croissant de communiquer des instructions précises et de capter l’attention des occupants du bâtiment. Les systèmes d’évacuation à signaux vocaux sont devenus de plus en plus répandus en raison des codes changeant en alarme incendie et du besoin de surmonter la désensibilisation de la société envers les avertisseurs d’alarme incendie standards. Les anciens systèmes off rent habituellement un signal de type klaxon, qui ne permet pas la transmission de messages précis.

Comme partie intégrante du réseau avertisseur d’incendie, un système d’évacuation à signal vocal permet de communiquer des instructions préenregistrées ou en direct aux occupants. Il assure l’évacuation lors d’une alarme incendie, tout en fournissant la capacité de communiquer des messages vocaux précis, en direct. Il existe des avantages à utiliser un système d’évacuation à signal vocal plutôt qu’un système de diff usion publique standard pour les communications d’urgence, notamment 1) l’intelligibilité des annonces; et 2) la supervision continue du système assurant un fonctionnement à 100 %. Vous avez mentionné qu’il est possible d’améliorer la surveillance des réseaux avertisseurs d’incendie grâce à la nouvelle technologie. Comment?

La capacité de recevoir et de passer en revue de l’information détaillée en situation d’urgence depuis les réseaux avertisseurs d’incendie à tous les emplacements commerciaux est avantageuse pour les professionnels en matière de prévention des pertes. L’information des emplacements individuels aide à cerner les problèmes tôt et à réduire la colonne

des pertes dans l’équation de l’état des résultats. La surveillance classique inclut les communications à une station réceptrice de signal d’incendie hors site sur des lignes téléphoniques. Historiquement, cela se faisait avec un transmetteur de communication d’alarme numérique qui ne se prête pas nécessairement bien au signalement simultané de deux emplacements.

Une des solutions possibles serait un communicateur IP/GSM qui peut fournir de l’information détaillée en situation d’urgence et communiquer sur un réseau TCP/IP (Internet) et cellulaire existant avec la station réceptrice de signal d’incendie et le bureau. De l’information précise et reçue au bon moment sur l’état du réseau avertisseur d’incendie peut être transmise aux récepteurs IP et aux personnes par courriel et messages textes afi n d’alerter les deux emplacements. De plus, le coût mensuel de location de deux lignes téléphoniques ou DVACS (digital voice access control system) traditionnellement utilisées pour les communications en alarme incendie avec une station réceptrice de signal d’incendie peut être éliminé. Une meilleure performance et des coûts de surveillance réduits ajoutent une valeur réelle lorsqu’une mise à niveau du réseau avertisseur d’incendie est considérée. À quoi pouvons-nous nous attendre d’un programme de mise à niveau du réseau avertisseur d’incendie au sein d’un environnement de vente au détail?

Des capacités de détection automatique améliorées pour un avertissement précoce, un meilleur signalement pour une plus grande sécurité des occupants, et une meilleure sécurité de surveillance hors site.

Tous ces points assurent une sécurité accrue des occupants, une réduction des projections de perte en cas d’incendie, moins d’interruptions causées par de fausses alarmes et de problèmes de maintenance.

En somme, une bonne aff aire pour la sécurité et le bénéfi ce net.

Background

Fire Safety Engineering is a relatively new discipline. Th e need for qualifi ed fi re protection engineers in Canada and around the world has increased dramatically during recent years. To satisfy this need, Carleton University, with support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and FPInnovations, established an Industrial Research Chair in Fire Safety Engineering within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in 2001, and began off ering courses the same year.

FPInnovations and NSERC provide fi nancial support for the Chair, which is held by Professor Hadjisophocleous, and his research program.Description of Academic Program

Following many years of continuous increase in student enrollment in Fire Safety Engineering, in 2009 Fire Safety Engineering was accredited as a new Field of Graduate Study in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering off ering degrees at the Masters and PhD levels. Our graduates easily fi nd employment with engineering consultancy fi rms, governments and other fi re related industries. Th e number of graduate courses off ered by the department in the area of fi re safety engineering has increased from six to the following nine courses:

• Fundamentals of Fire Safety Engineering• Fire Dynamics I and II• Fire Modeling• Design for Fire Resistance• Material Behavior in Fire• Wood Structures and Fire• Introduction to Explosives • Blast Load Eff ects on Structures

Most of the courses are available through Carleton University Online (CUol) (http://www1.carleton.ca/cuol/) and they are accessible to distance students. Seven PhD and 11 Masters students are currently enrolled in the Fire Safety Engineering program. Details on program admission requirements and program requirements can be found at www.ocice.ca, which is the website of the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Civil Engineering.Research facilities

Carleton University has, with fi nancial support from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, and the Ontario Innovation Trust, built a unique $10 million full-scale fi re research facility adjacent to the fi re research facilities of the National Research Council in Almonte, Ontario.

Th is facility is of great value to the research program of the Chair, and provides unique research opportunities to graduate students at Carleton specializing in Fire Safety Engineering. Th e research facility comprises three areas: an area dealing with smoke control and smoke management in a large space such as an atrium, a large burn hall, and a 37 m long tunnel for performing fi re research for the transportation industry.

Th e atrium with dimensions of 20 x 20 x 30 m high has a common wall with the NRC’s 10-storey tower. Th is allows access for visual observations and videotaping during the tests at any level. In addition, it allows tests to be performed that deal with the eff ectiveness of smoke control systems used in high-rise buildings, and atrium smoke management systems in multi-story buildings whose fl oors are interconnected with an atrium space. Th e atrium facility is equipped with a 10 MW propane burner, which can be used as the main heat source for conducting tests.

A burn hall with dimensions of 20 x 20 x 12 m high is located adjacent to the atrium facility, that houses a number of full-scale test furnaces. One of these furnaces has been used over the last two years to perform tests for two projects; the fi rst project funded by NSERC and FPInnovations studied the performance of heavy timber connections in fi res. Th e second project, funded by the Steel Structures Education Foundation, investigated the behaviour of Hollow Steel Section (HSS) column-beam connections in fi res. Results of these projects were presented at International Conferences and have both received awards for Best Poster.

Th e third part of the facility is a 10 m wide, 6 m high and 37 m long tunnel for conducting tests related to the transportation industry. Tests can be conducted that can represent fi res with both the ventilation system operating, and not operating. Tests in this area will allow us to better estimate the heat release rate produced by fi res in passenger train cars and to determine critical velocities to prevent the fl ow of smoke towards the protected side of the car. Th is facility will house train cars provided by the Toronto

Transit Commission, which will be used to perform full-scale tests in this area.Research projects

In addition to projects mentioned above, Dr Hadjisophocleous’ team has been involved in various other research projects including studies on the performance of smoke detectors in high ceiling spaces, the use of Video Image Detectors for fi re and smoke detection in large spaces, fi re spread between buildings, the use of suppression systems in tunnels, and fi re development in a full-scale train car. For the latter test, a full-scale fi re test was performed using a Korean passenger train car to determine the heat release rate of an uncontrolled fi re inside the car.

FPInnovationset leCRSNGfournissent un soutien fi nancierà la chaire, dont le professeurHadjisophocleous est titulaire, et à son programme de recherche.Description du programme de formation

En raison de l’augmentation continue du nombre d’inscriptions pendant de nombreuses années, le programme de génie en sécurité incendie a été accrédité en 2009 à titre de nouveau domained’études de cycle supérieurau Département de génie civil et environnement, off rant des diplômesau niveau de la maîtrise et du doctorat. Nos diplômés se trouvent un emploi facilementauprèsdes fi rmes de services-conseils en ingénierie, des gouvernementset d’autres industries liéesà l’incendie. Le nombre de cours de niveau supérieur off ertpar le départementdans le domaine de l’ingénierie en sécurité incendiea augmenté de sixàneuf cours,comme suit:

• Fundamentals of Fire Safety Engineering (Principes de l’ingénierie en sécurité incendie)

• Fire Dynamics I and II (Dynamiques du feu I et II)• Fire Modeling (Modélisation du feu)• Design for Fire Resistance

(Conception pour la résistance au feu)• Material Behavior in Fire

(Comportement matériel du feu)

• Wood Structures and Fire(Structures en bois et feu)

• Introduction to Explosives (Introduction aux explosifs)

• Blast Load Eff ects on Structures(Eff ets de la force de souffl e sur les structures)

La plupart des cours sont off ertsen ligne àCarleton University Online (CUol) (http://www1.carleton.ca/cuol/) et sont accessiblesaux étudiants optant pour la formation à distance. Sept étudiants au niveau du doctoratet onze au niveau de la maîtrisesont actuellement inscritsau programme de génieen sécurité incendie. De plus amples détailsconcernant les exigences d’admission au programmeet les exigences du programmesont présentés àwww.ocice.ca, qui est le site Internet dela Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Civil Engineering.Installations de recherche

L’Université Carleton a construit, avec le soutien fi nancier de la Fondation canadienne pour l’innovationet le Fonds ontarien pour l’innovation, une installation complète et unique de recherche en incendiede 10 millions de dollars,attenantaux installations de recherche incendiedu Conseil national de recherchesàAlmonte, en Ontario.

Cette installation est d’une grande valeur pour le programme de recherche de la chaire,et elle fournit des occasions de rechercheuniquesaux étudiants de cycle supérieurà Carleton qui se spécialisent dans le domaine du génie en sécurité incendie.L’installation de recherchecomprend troissecteurs,dont une zonepour le contrôle de la fuméeet la gestion de la fuméedans de grands espaces,comme un atrium, une grande salle d’essai de combustionet un tunnel de 37 m de longvisant la recherche incendiepour l’industrie du transport.

L’atrium de 20 x 20 x 30 m de hauteurpartage un hall communavec la tour de 10 étages du Conseil national de recherches. Cela permet l’accèsaux observations visuelleset à l’enregistrementdurant les testsà tous les niveaux. De plus, cela permet aussi d’eff ectuer des tests portantsur l’effi cacitédes systèmes de contrôle de la fuméeutilisés dans les bâtiments de grande hauteur,et les systèmes de gestion de la fumée dans les atriumsdes édifi ces de plusieurs étages,dont les plancherssont interconnectésavec un espace atrium. L’installation de l’atrium est munie d’un brûleur de propane de 10 MW, qui peut être utilisécomme principale source de chaleurlors des tests.

Une salle d’essai de combustionde 20 x 20 x 12 m de hauteurse trouve à côté de l’installation de l’atrium;elle abritede nombreusesfournaises d’essai pleine grandeur. Une de ces fournaisesa été utilisée au cours des deux dernières annéespour eff ectuer des testspour deux projets.Le premier projet, fi nancé parle CRSNGetFPInnovations,portait sur l’étude de la performancedes liens de bois massifl orsqu’exposé au feu. Le deuxième projet, fi nancé par laSteel Structures EducationFoundation, étudiaitle comportementdes liens des poutres-colonnes en section d’acier creuxlorsqu’exposé au feu. Les résultats de ces projetsont été présentés aux Conférences internationaleset se sont tous les deux méritédes prix pour lameilleure affi che.

La troisième partie de l’installation est un tunnel de 10 m de large, 6 m de hautet 37 m de longqui sert à mener des testsliés à l’industrie du transport. Il est possible d’y eff ectuer des testsd’incendieavec ou sans le système de ventilation. Les tests eff ectués à cet endroitnous permettront d’estimer plus précisémentla puissance calorifi queproduite par les feuxdans les wagons de trains de voyageurset de déterminerla

vitesse critique pour prévenirla propagation de la fuméevers le côté protégédu wagon. Cette installation abritera deswagons de train fournis par laToronto Transit Commission, qui seront utilisés pour eff ectuer des essais complets.Projets de recherche

En plus des projets susmentionnés, l’équipe du DrHadjisophocleouss’est investie dansdivers autresprojets de recherche,notamment des étudessur la performancedes détecteurs de fuméedans les espaces ayant des plafonds élevés, l’utilisation de détecteursavec images vidéovisant la détection du feu et de la fuméedans les grands espaces, la propagation du feu entreles bâtiments, l’utilisation des systèmesd’extinctiondans les tunnels,et le développement du feudans les grands wagons de train.Ce dernier projet a fait l’objet d’un test d’incendie completen utilisantun train de voyageurs coréen afi n de déterminerla puissance calorifi qued’un feu non maîtriséà l’intérieur du wagon.
