- Abstract
- The report presents a proposal for the resources required for a fire brigade to fight a fire in a crashed tank truck with gasoline or some polar solvent. The report is the first step in the project where real accidents, test results etc, has been studied. With this information as a base, a second step is proposed where a series of fullscale test for verification is planned. Preliminary, for 200 m2 tests are proposed, 2 tests with appr. 20 m3 of gasoline and 2 tests with appr. 30 m3 of acetone.
