Abstract

The paper highlights the problem of fire evacuation in historic buildings using oxygen
reduced oxygen systems. By using fire suppression systems, evacuation time can be prolonged
and depends only on human response to a reduced oxygen concentration. When deploying fire
suppression systems, it is necessary to define the limit values of oxygen concentration for
humans, taking into account the development of the fire. Wood and textiles in historic buildings
are both a building and an interior element, and they make up a substantial portion of the fuel
in a fire in historic buildings.
