Q

Rowframes are either…?

A

BALLON FRAME

OR

BRACE FRAME CONSTRUCTION

  • these buildings are large rectangular boxes of dry lumber, danger of fire spread in all directions
  • INTERIOR CONSTRUCTION similar to tenements and brownstones, usually wood lathe and plaster

EXTERIOR IS WOOD, OR VENEER OVER OUTER WOOD SHEATHING (brownstone have NON COMBUSTIBLE outer shall)

Q

Cellars?

A

lack of fire stopping-fire travel from one cellar to another, sometimes cellar runs under more than one building with no separation

-common partition walls between building permit fire spread

LIFE HAZARD IS GREAT duet to the LARGE NUMBER OF OCCUPANTS and RAPIDITY OF FIRE SPREAD

Q

HORIZONTAL fire spread?

A

COMMON COCKLOFT

  • common cornice
  • common cellars
  • wood cellar beams
  • thins flimsy walls BETWEEN BUILDINGS
  • via WINDOWS and SIDING TO ADJOINING BUILDINGS

presence of store may add to fire…TIN CEILINGS WILL MAKE OPENING UPMORE DIFFICULT

Vertically:

  • pipe recesses
  • via light/air shafts
  • auto exposure front /rear windows/siding
  • interior walls/partitions

Q

Collapse..?

A
  • heavy fire in cockloft will burn roof supports and collapse roof into top floor
  • rear walls can pull away from the building and collapse in one section
  • collapse of sidewalls is a danger, especially true when building in a ROW HAVE BEEN DEMOLISHED OR REMOVED
  • when a serious fire burns out the entire first floor, there is a danger of collapse, especially in corner buildings and buildings standing alone
  • steel plating on interior/exterior walls will add to weight of collapse
  • weight of FIRE ESCAPE can cause COMPLETE COLLAPSE of an exterior wall
