Abstract

The current research deals with the issue of existing lack of safety and fire risk assessment in the ‎‎20th district of Tehran (Shahrari) in the area of Fadaiyan Islam Street. Qualitative risk assessment of ‎fire risk with the FRAGM fire risk rating method is in a range of this area. At first, the entire area is ‎divided into two parts, district 4 in the eastern part and district 2 in the western part of Fadaiyan ‎Islam Street, and then based on seven indicators including: type of construction materials, ‎availability of fire sources, fire extinguishing scenario, electrical wiring, Fire history, building ‎density and area accessibility are analyzed and scored. The eastern part is divided into 7 sub-parts ‎and the western part is divided into ten sub-parts. According to the findings of the research, the ‎overall average of the total indicators of the western 1st to the western 10th range is 45.2 with a high ‎evaluation degree, while the total evaluation of the indicators of the eastern 1st to the eastern 7th ‎range is 32.28, which is an upward average evaluation grade. has been The results indicate that the ‎greatest risk of risk is in the eastern part in terms of residential, Orkideh and Razi complex, and in ‎terms of industrial Ebrahimi and Kazemzadeh streets. In the western part of Varamin vegetable oil ‎factory and industrial production workshops in Shahid Ghaibi street, sub-Zohrevand street, the most ‎risks have been assigned to them. Monitoring and inspection of informal workshops and organizing ‎abandoned areas can prevent fire risk reduction.‎
