The document outlines a fire incident scenario at a commercial building undergoing renovation, detailing the alert generation process from the fire panel to central alarm stations. It emphasizes the importance of building data for effective public safety response and presents a categorized table of useful building data. The scenario illustrates the complications faced by responders due to disabled alarms and multiple alerts received concurrently.

- 1. Combining NIST BFRL and OGC Building Emergency Response Scenario Following is a use case scenario of a building fire incident and covers alert generation and propagation to dispatch followed by the first responder use of building data. In addition, a table is presented that collects previous work with public safety representative in defining useful building data. This table categorizes the building data. The scenario begins in a large commercial building
- 2. at 321 Prince Street
- 3. in a section of the third floor
- 4. that is undergoing renovation. Contractors left out some vapor-producing chemicals that have ignited after-hours, producing a small explosion and starting a fire.
- 5. The explosion disables the smoke alarm in the room
- 6. but this generates a trouble condition at the fire panel.
- 7. The fire panel generates a Common Alerting Protocol CAP alert
- 8. that is passed to the BISACS Base Server (BBS)
- 9. The alert is then passed to the subscribing central station alarm (CSA) company
- 10. that monitors the building
- 11. Upon receipt at the CSA, a representative attempts to contact the building personnel to verify the alert (smoke alarm trouble in room 310)
- 12. While the CSA representative follows procedures to verify the alert, another alert arrives
- 13. reporting a smoke alarm from the hallway outside 310
- 14. At this point the dispatcher will see that there is a suspected fire in a commercial building at 321 Prince Street with smoke alarm trouble and alarm signals on the third floor.
- 15. Alan Vinh NIST BFRL ….that is why SAP Standard Access Point is important, if one bubble is not there, go to the next one, back to square one and no body knows about it. Eventually they talk back to the building…. Michelle Raymond Honeywell…there is alert information that can come from any level, it gets aggregated at any level, each information provider has an identifier, some will have access and will be made available when its appropriate, then would have access. What can be retrieved may be policy based, and the incident needs an identifier, is a part of the identifier you need…
