dc.description.abstractThe intention of fire life safety is to ensure the safety of the residents as well as to protect their properties. Therefore, in order to achieve this, public housing is designed in accordance to the local fire code and the principle of fire engineering. However, all these are considered proactive measures. Minor consideration has been pondered on the methods to escape from the affected unit in the event of fire outbreak. In this report, the objective is to understand the characteristic and impact of fire, to have a bird eye’ view on the operation of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), to observe various case studies on the impact of the residents as a result of fire outbreak and lastly, to propose various methods for the residents to evacuate to to ensure life safety. With increasing casualties and fatalities in public housing due to unable to escape safely from the affected unit and with little emphasis on the methods to escape from the affected unit other than waiting for the arrival of SCDF firefighters, there is a need to consider on other options of escaping that residents could reach out for. In the proposal, the author seeks to bring about the significance of fire outbreak has in respect to the safety of the residents and aim to propose various methods of evacuation that could be implemented to increase the chances of residents escaping in the event of fire outbreak.
