5.3 Control of fire sources and integrated fire safety facilities
Since the inner cotton logistics warehouse includes kinds of processes, it is very important that the staff carry kindling fire
exclusion. It is the essential way to prevent the fire source from warehouses through personnel management and fire protection
to technology. First of all, the provisions of individual security check must be strictly implemented in order to forbid fire
source, whatever who wants to enter the warehouse. Secondly, transportation vehicles, storage vehicles, equipment in
warehouses must install flameproof enclosure or choke to ensure no sparks. Meanwhile, it is forbidden to do hot work around
the cotton logistics warehouse without the permission of the fire department, dangerous goods should not be carried into
reservoir as well.
However, it isn’t simple to guarantee the control of fire source perfectly, so fire-fighting facilities is the second line of
defense, those of which should be installed and maintained in daily life, so that sudden fire can be found in time by automatic
fire alarm system and control the spread of the fire or even extinguish fire by automatic sprinkler system. Additionally,
extinguishment water plays an important role all times during fire fighting. Once the water closures, smoldering cotton will
soon spread to the surface, causing the recrudescence of secondary disasters, which delays the best time to fire fighting and
causes serious property damage. Thus it would better to find water source before building a cotton logistics warehouse.
