Even though no two disasters are exactly alike, they often show common features and give much useful information for future preparedness and prevention of similar disasters. In fires in buildings, many new synthetic polymers used for furniture, upholstery, carpets, bedding and curtains yield combustion products such as carbon monoxide, cyanide, phosgene, hydrogen chloride and nitrogen oxides. These noxious gases may be additively toxic and very quickly make the victims incapable of escaping from the site.
The vast range of possibilities affords a variety of extinguishing techniques, but whichever is chosen the fire-fighter remains an essential figure. Particular attention must be paid to his protection and to the prevention of accidents. A correct fire-prevention plan expresses a priority of operations on the basis of the value of the property to be defended, but it must place personal safety at the top of the scale of priorities. In practice, however, this consideration is often neglected simply because of the erroneous belief that it is possible to intervene only with heavy vehicles which are thought to reduce the firefighters' risk of exposure to the flames.
If firebreaks have been created to allow direct attacks on the fire-front, it is possible to predict a fire's behaviour: firebreaks enable the fire-fighting squads to know what kind of difficulties they are going to have to face. These difficulties are related particularly to the quantity of heat emanated and the temperature reached where the fire-fighters are at work. The temperature increases only in the vicinity of the fire-front and maximum temperatures are always found in the highest part of the vegetation.
