Abstract (English): Protection the high-rise hospitals against fire is very important due to presence of disable patients, hospital's diverse population, multiple floors and having multiple units on floors. The present study was aimed to assess fire risk in a high-rise hospital. Assessment NFPA healthcare worksheets were extracted from NFPA101 standard completed through field observation. In the next stage, gathered information was analyzed using CFSES software. From all studied zones 100% in the aspects of fire containment and extinguishment were unacceptable. In total, the fire risk level was acceptable in 80% and 100% in the aspects of people movement and general safety, respectively. Our findings indicated that to improve the level of fire risk in high rise hospitals, required measures especially in the area of fire extinguishment and containment including buildings design for automatic sprinkler systems and standardization of fire controls.

Abstract (Spanish): La protección de los hospitales de gran altura contra el fuego es muy importante debido a la presencia de pacientes discapacitados, la población diversa del hospital, pisos múltiples y tener varias unidades en el piso. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el riesgo de incendio en un hospital de gran altura. Evaluación Las hojas de trabajo de salud de la NFPA se extrajeron del estándar NFPA101 completado a través de la observación de campo. En la siguiente etapa, la información reunida se analizó utilizando el software CFSES. De todas las zonas estudiadas, el 100% en los aspectos de contención y extinción de incendios fueron inaceptables. En total, el nivel de riesgo de incendio fue aceptable en 80% y 100% en los aspectos de movimiento de personas y seguridad general, respectivamente. Nuestros hallazgos indicaron que para mejorar el nivel de riesgo de incendio en hospitales de gran altura, se requieren medidas especialmente en el área de extinción de incendios y contención, incluido el diseño de edificios para sistemas de rociadores automáticos y la estandarización de los controles de incendios.
