- Abstract
- The purpose of this report is to evaluate the existing fire protection system at the nightclub Babel in Malmö. The aim is to ensure a safe evacuation of all people in the building in case of fire.
As a result of a risk analysis, three fire scenarios were chosen for further evaluation. The fire was simulated in FDS and time until unacceptable conditions arose was studied. The human evacuation simulation was performed in Pathfinder and compared to the FDS-simulation. In all three cases, the existing fire protection system was not satisfying to safely evacuate all the people.
To improve the fire safety some measures are suggested. The most important is to separate the entrance and the wardrobe from the other parts of the building. Also to...

To improve the fire safety some measures are suggested. The most important is to separate the entrance and the wardrobe from the other parts of the building. Also to make sure that detection of fire is possible in the entire building during opening hours and to update the internal control of fire protection are important measures. (Less)
