Abstract

Fire damage to structures cost more than a few billion USD each year for both owners and insurance companies worldwide. Although the majority of this cost is paid back to the construction industry and associated professions, there is surprisingly very little amount of globally published material available for everyday practice. A case study carried out in June 2002 is reported on and the lessons learned from a fire event that occurred at a chemical production plant in Turkey is discussed.
