2 Project Aims To obtain a greater understanding of the factors which contribute towards fire injuries and fatalities To establish the timeline for Fire Service Intervention for a dwelling fire and to understand its criticality for human survivability
3 Project Objectives Statistical Analysis - Consider statistical data to identify those factors which contribute towards the occurrence of fire deaths and injuries Experimentation - Determine the time frame for human survivability in a dwelling fire Evaluation of Attendance - Identify all of the time bound stages of an intervention and establish realistic durations for each
