NFPA 550 fire concepts tree

Fire safety codes and regulations have requirements that are based on small heat source ignition tests. The objective of these requirements is to greatly reduce the probability of a relatively benign ignition source causing a major catastrophic lire (first strategy in the NFPA 550 Fire Concepts Tree).

NFPA has developed a Fire Safety Concepts Tree At the top of the tree are fire safety objectives, followed by actions to achieve the objectives. Elements of the tree connect using AND and OR gates, similar to fault tree analysis (Figure 36-10). A Fire Safety Concepts Tree can help analyze buildings and designs using qualitative and quantitative procedures.
