Fire Control in Buildings and the Development of RFID Application System

Since Taiwan is a crowded island, serious disaster will cause personnel casualty and property damage. When calamity happens, how to effectively deal with the emergency is a significant task for the Fire Con-trol Department. Currently the standard operation procedure for fire rescue is: (a) receives building fire report, (b) inquires available emergency rescue drawings, (c) asks for related drawings of the building. This procedure may waste precious rescue time, delay rescue effort and, even more, injure the fire fight-ers. In this research, PDA combined with RFID is used to develop the application package. This system will collect and return building rescue drawings and fire control information to rescue team in accident scene. This research can integrate the fire control related data, accelerate fire control operation, assist the responsible agency to manage the database and provide immediate inquiry capability through internet. Further, through RFID and PDA, the fire control data of a building can transmit immediately to the rescue team to carry out his mission effectively.
