Warehouse fire protection event tree

A warehouse fire event tree starts with the fire and follows the performance of the safeguards intended to limit it. Detection raises the alarm, sprinklers can control the fire and the responding fire service can contain it. Each success or failure branch leads to a consequence such as minor damage, major damage or total loss. This form of analysis is useful when a property-risk team needs a clear view of why several independent protection layers matter. The probabilities belong to the initiating event and the barrier functions, while the outcome rows describe the resulting scenarios. Replace the illustrative values with values supported by inspection records, testing, reliability data and the fire strategy for the actual site.
