ornicus: Even redesigned markets get burnt in Nigeria. It has to do more with our non chalant attitude to life. Give Nigerians the best of facilities, we will watch it all rot away. |

tete7000: then they are not properly designed there is something called fire compartment. you design a structure or building such that fire will be contained within the area it breaks out. for a concrete or blockwork structure with fire retardant ceiling tiles, your fire will end in the room where it started. the other consideration is combustibles. the number one way of spreading a fire in most home or offices is curtains and carpeting. nigerians do not consider fire retardant carpets, or they are told their carpets are fire retardant we had a fire in my old office years ago. the fire traveled through a 12 floor building via the cable ducts. almost none of our offices had carpets, s the fire ended in the duct. except for our exec director whose office was fully carpeted and fully destroyed. and our neighours whose entire offices were carpeted and so their entire floor was destroyed. build your fire compartment, enforce proper storage of combustibles, and you will be fine. |

ornicus: Exactly...I wrote this same thing a few weeks ago Compartmentalisation, flame-retardant materials and functioning fire extinguishers would solve all this but nobody cares |

midnighter: more likely they do not want to engage professionals to build. https://www.nairaland.com/5527043/pictures-construction-enugu-state-secretariat/2#84009401 does that structure built by a state government look like there is any professional input in it? |

Re: Ughelli Main Market In Delta On Fire, Traders Struggle To Salvage Goods by midnighter(f): 7:12pm On Nov 19, 2019 |
ornicus: What if the professional doesn't advise them properly or impress upon them the importance of such features? It's a two-sided thing and really, there are supposed to be building regulations being enforced in order to bring structures up to code so that it doesn't depend on either party's whim tete7000: See? Just look at what somebody wrote. About an essential requirement for health and safety. If a contractor or an architect sounds like this he will just accept the money and that would be the end of it. They will tell you that they are "managing the available funds to reach the estimated date for project completion" That's why markets will continue to catch fire in this country |

Re: Ughelli Main Market In Delta On Fire, Traders Struggle To Salvage Goods by tete7000(m): 7:16pm On Nov 19, 2019 |
ornicus: Every project has a budget and you can't always meet every requirement. Let say you can isolate rooms in decked section of a building, how about the part with roof? Note also that there are really no fire proof materials in a sense, you only have materials that can withstand fire for specific period giving man enough time to prevent the spread of fire. It is why fire prevention is always augmented with fire fighting capability. |

tete7000: Fire retarand ceiling tiles.it is simply because this is Nigeria. Lasg is now insisting that any new site has a hydrant tank and line. They are enforcing two floors of parking for large office buildings.you don't have the money, you don't build. These are matters of life and death |

Re: Ughelli Main Market In Delta On Fire, Traders Struggle To Salvage Goods by ArcSEMPECJ(m): 8:18pm On Nov 19, 2019 |
HacheNoire:. ... Structurally, one can evade fire from spreading to different shops by making use of concrete decked roofing instead of going for woods.. Use of conduit wiring, adjusting the market paths to contain fire service vehicles and use of fire hydrants at strategic places in the market can comfortably reduce the rate of fire disasters in public structures especially in a market.... |

midnighter: When I wrote, I wrote about subject matter I know very well. If you like put all the sprinklers in the world in a market, if people's attitude are wrong, the market will still burn. No angel can help when power sources are perpetually left on, when fire systems in place are not maintained. And like I have written design is about give and take, you can't always put in place everything in face of a daunting budget constraints. People have roles to play in preventing fire. |
Re: Ughelli Main Market In Delta On Fire, Traders Struggle To Salvage Goods by tete7000(m): 8:54pm On Nov 19, 2019 |
ornicus: And what makes you think fire hydrants lines are not available in some of the burnt markets? What if the pumps are never maintained? What if water is never available? How about drills? How many market men/women have orientation on how to behave or react in face of fire? Fire problems in Nigeria as I have earlier said is more than one of design, it is more of a bad attitude on the part of the people. No material is designed to withstand fire infinitely. Even the tile you talk about will crumble in face of intense inferno... |
Re: Ughelli Main Market In Delta On Fire, Traders Struggle To Salvage Goods by midnighter(f): 10:35pm On Nov 19, 2019 |
tete7000: You have a point but you shouldn't be trying to minimise the importance of these things as if they are an inconvenience...even if people are careless or have a bad attitude it's still wrong to build a structure without bothering to include inbuilt safety measures. It's a two-pronged approach and budget constraint is not a valid excuse. Health and safety features are designed to limit the effect of human error. So because people throw litter all over the street RIWAMA should refuse to collect trash |

sureheaven: Fire stations do not prevent fires, they put out fire. Reducing the frequency of fire outbreaks starts by 1. implementing and enforcing safe building standards. 2. Regulating how these markets are built and run. 3. Educating Nigerians on fire safety. 4. Reducing the need for individuals to move flammable contents including petrol, liquefied natural gas canisters , kerosene and diesel. However none of these will ever happen in Nigeria at least in our lifetime |
Re: Ughelli Main Market In Delta On Fire, Traders Struggle To Salvage Goods by GeneralShepherd(m): 8:10am On Nov 20, 2019 |
midnighter: The markets are overpopulated for a start. There is no regulation surrounding how many people can and should fit in tight stalls |
Re: Ughelli Main Market In Delta On Fire, Traders Struggle To Salvage Goods by midnighter(f): 8:46am On Nov 20, 2019 |
GeneralShepherd: Yes, there should be a certain amount of space separating each stall from its neighbour and the electronics they use in there should be up to code |

midnighter: Sadly though I have never believed in having people picking trashes after others. My belief has always been that dustbins should be strategically placed along our streets while people are properly oriented to use it. I don't think civilized world litter their environment the way we do. Our approach to the issue makes it look like it is some people right to pick trashes while others have obligation to keep them busy. Cleanliness as a way of life, as something novel and worth doing has never been emphasized in our society. |
