Fire Risk Assessment of School Building in Republic of North Macedonia
Session

Description
In this paper, a fire risk assessment of elementary school in Kumanovo, North Macedonia, was conducted. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the level of fire risk was defined and adequate measures for risk reduction are proposed depending on the defined level of risk. The elementary approach of Five Steps and the Matrix Qualitative Method for fire risk analysis were used to define the fire risk. Euro-alarm Method, as quantitative method, was used to define all parameters that influence the fire risk. Based on the results of the performed analysis, it was found that the school does not meet the fire safety measures and this is due to the following factors: lack of appropriate fire protection measures, lack of fire detector, fire alarm, fire stairs and fire compartments. The analysis showed that the use of quantitative method is more effective and provides more reliable results.
