Performance investigation of fire protection and intervention strategies: Artificial neural network-based assessment framework

This study aims to develop an integrated framework to investigate and assess fire safety strategies, including protection and intervention. The proposed framework is also able to predict potential fire impacts and recommend optimal fire strategies; a case study of British Columbia was considered. The results showed that 58% of the fires were detected by the visual sighting; besides, smoke alarms were not activated for 2% of the fires. Handheld...
