- Company Profile:
Established in 1896, NFPA's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.
An entrance that is made available for common use on a controlled basis, but not public use, and that is not a service entrance.
Industry:Fire safety
An entrance intended primarily for delivery of goods or services.
Industry:Fire safety
An enterprise based on an airport that provides storage, maintenance, or service for aircraft operators.
Industry:Fire safety
An enhanced vision and navigation system for guiding aircraft rescue and fire-fighting vehicles at night and during certain low-visibility conditions. The DEVS is comprised of three systems: (1) Navigation, which displays the ARFF vehicle’s position on a moving map display mounted in the cab; (2) Tracking, which provides two-way digital communication between the ARFF vehicle and the Emergency Command Center; (3) Vision, which allows the ARFF vehicle operator to see in 0/0 visibility conditions.
Industry:Fire safety
An engineered system that uses mechanical fans to produce pressure differences across smoke barriers to inhibit smoke movement.
Industry:Fire safety
An engineered system that includes all methods that can be used singly or in combination to modify smoke movement.
Industry:Fire safety
An engineered structure that is able to withstand the forces imposed on it by a cave-in and thereby protect persons within the structures.
Industry:Fire safety
An engine that uses a spark plug to ignite a fuel-air mixture (e.g., otto cycle engine) or an engine in which high-pressure compression raises the air temperature to the ignition temperature of the injected fuel oil (e.g., diesel cycle engine).
Industry:Fire safety
An engine that produces shaft power utilizing the Brayton (joule) cycle, where atmospheric air is drawn in and compressed; the compressed air then flows into a combustion chamber where fuel is injected and continuous combustion occurs, resulting in high-pressure hot gas to the expansion section (turbine) where the heat energy is converted to rotating, mechanical energy.
Industry:Fire safety
An engine space on a marine vessel that is too small for an individual to enter.
