Brief Description (Abstract):

Fire is the greatest safety hazard at Antarctica because of its dry climate. The fire protection system at Indian Antarctic Stations - Maitri and Dakshin Gangotri- has been evaluated and the weak points identified. Recommendations have been made for safety of men and material and fire drills proposed.

Status: Completed

Purpose: During past nine expeditions various problems on fire safety of men and property have been experienced by Indian Expeditions to Antarctica. The basic reasons for the various problems on fire and safety faced at Antarctica are due to the hostile weather conditions as this continent is the coldest, windiest and driest in the world. Besides these, its rich oxygen content further aggravates the hostile nature of environment from fire safety point of view. Defence Institute of Fire Research was assigned the job to study the adequacy, possible improvement and efficient support of fire safe condition for men and property at Antarctica - Maitri and Dakshin Gangotri hangar accommodation.
