The latest technologies being used by fire-fighters to pre-plan, train, and use in real time emergency
mitigations
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Exploiting spatial systemsin
industrial firefighting
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
What are spatial systems (GIS)?
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Some base technologies – A lightning tour

TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Are these IT systems more than just a map?
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Your plant / Facility
Satellite/aerial imagery
Gas modelling
Products (Oil, Chemical, Gas)
Site drains / pipelines
Hydrants / Equipment
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Information Visualisation and Decision Support Tools
Planning and Preparation
• Can you see– if you have adequate water?– the risk of escalation / spread?– if hose runs and equipment will be effective?– water management issues?– what scenarios you have planned for?– the environment a plume will cover?
• Spatial systems make it clearer
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Incident Response
When an incident happens…• Can you quickly locate
– information on special risks?– pre-planned information and advice?– hydrants, sumps, drains and their connections?
• Spatial systems make it faster, easier, clearerAND
• Easy to provide to incoming teams

Planning and Response
Fire Chief
Benefit : Visualise your response when pre-planning
1. See heat contour impact upon plant2. Position response equipment3. Measure hose runsLevel within company
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
4. Place booster pumps
Benefit : Tools to speed scenario planning
5. Measure the tank footprint6. Calculate foam requirementLevel within company
Fire Chief
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Benefit : Tools to speed scenario planning
7. Calculate bund / dyke capacityLevel within company
Fire Chief
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Benefit : Incident location provides access to plans
7. Retrieve pre authored pre-plan documentLevel within company

TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Fire Chief
Benefit : Quick and easy correlation with environment
9. Model gas dispersion to determine impact Level within company
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Away from the heat…
• Access data of many sites over the web• See incidents and history• See status of tanks and product
• Information for decision making in the wider context
TADPOLETECHNOLOGY
Understanding the big picture
Regional Crisis Manager
Benefit : Calculate the cost of a Tank fire
1. View data for more than one facility2. See live Storage Tank volume dataLevel within company

Conclusion
• A different and powerful way of managing information
• “Maps” are a very intuitive paradigm• Big potential, lots of possibilities
But…
• The system won’t create the information!
