Ontology Specification Draft

Abstract back to ToC

Firefighters require accurate and timely information regarding a building and its environment to perform their duty safely and effectively during a fire emergency. However, due to the chaotic nature of building fires, firefighters often receive erroneous, conflicting, or delayed information that can affect the outcome of a hazard. In this paper, we propose a solution in the form of an ontology that defines building and environmental data needed by firefighters during a building fire emergency. The ontology can be a basis for developing intelligent tools and systems that collect building and environmental data from different data sources and provide comprehensive information to firefighters. It can also facilitate the data exchange process between the different personnel involved in emergency response. The ontology was developed by following the METHONTOLOGY method, and it was implemented using the web ontology language (OWL) in Protégé 5.5.0.

Introduction back to ToC

Firefighters employ different strategies to safeguard occupants, reduce property damage, and protect themselves during building fires. They devise their strategy based on the best available information they have at any given time (OSHA, 2015). Hence, the availability and quality of information play a vital role in the outcome of an emergency. Additionally, Firefighters should be made aware of any hazards or obstacles they may come across outside or inside the affected building ahead of time. The success of a firefighting strategy relies on providing the correct information and resources to the right people at the right time (Xu and Zlatanova, 2007).

Intelligent tools and systems that collect required data about an affected building and its surrounding from different data sources can assist firefighters in conducting their tasks with the utmost safety and effectiveness. However, before designing such systems, we need to have a well-defined understanding of firefighters’ data requirements. Ontologies can be used to establish such understanding. They enable us to develop machine-understandable definitions of different concepts in a given domain along with their relationships (Noy and McGuinness, 2001). Through ontologies, a shared understanding of a domain between people and systems can be established (Neto et al., 2021).

In this documentation, we present an ontology that models firefighters’ data requirements. The ontology will represent the data firefighters require regarding different elements and features inside an affected building and its surrounding. The ontology can then be used to design systems that gather and integrate data from different data sources and provide comprehensive information to firefighters during building fires. Having a well-defined data requirement will also facilitate the data exchange process through various mediums between the different personnel involved in the emergency response (Jones et al., 2005). Understanding how first responders interact with building features can also assist building designers in designing structures that ensure firefighters’ safety and provide necessary firefighting features (OSHA, 2015).

Firefighters' Data Requirements Ontology: Description back to ToC

The firefighters’ data Requirement ontology represents concepts regarding the data firefighters need about an affected building, the building’s features, and the building’s surroundings. In protégé, several classes were created to represent different concepts. OWL provides the ObjectProperty feature to represent the relationship between two classes and the DatatypeProperty feature to represent the relationship from a class to a data value (McGuinness and van Harmelen, 2004). We have used both features extensively in the ontology.

In this section, the ontology is described with the help of figures (Figure 1 – 3). In the first two figures, the following convention is used. The red box emphasizes a class, and the yellow boxes represent all other classes related to the class in the red box. Different lines are used to represent different relationships. Solid lines with a black ‘is a’ text indicate subclass relationship. Solid lines with a blue text indicate ObjectProperty relationship between classes, and broken lines with a green text indicate DatatypeProperty relationship from a class to a data value. Lastly, the deep purple blocks indicate instances of a class. Sometimes a thick black arrow is extended from a class to indicate the existence of more information that is not shown in the figure. And a yellow box with three dots is used to indicate the existence of more subclasses.

Figure 1: The IncidentSite class, its properties, and its relationship with other classes.

The ontology uses IncidentSite class to represent the site where the building with fire hazard is located. This class is shown in a red box in Figure 1. The class is related to IncidentBuilding, SurroundingTerrain, SurroundingStructure, FireCommandCenter and WeatherCondition classes. The IncidentBuilding class represents the building where the fire hazard occurred. The classes SurroundingTerrain and SurroundingStructure represent the terrain and structures surrounding the incident building, respectively. The FireCommandCenter class is related to the ControlPanel class, which represents the different control panels firefighters would want to locate and use to control several building systems and utilities. The IncidentSite class is also related to the Address class, which captures several types of addresses required during a building emergency.

The SurroundingStructure class represents all artificial and natural structures surrounding the incident building. The subclass of SurroundingStructure represents powerlines, pipelines, hazardous materials, and obstructions such as fences. Vegetation surrounding an incident building is represented using the Vegetation class. A fire lane is an access road designated for the passage of fire apparatus (ICC, 2018b). This class is also a subclass of the Road class. In addition to the fire lane, the Road class represents the road that leads to the incident site (RoadToIncident).

Fire hydrants are essential for most fire suppression operations since they provide access to a water supply system. We modelled information that should be provided to firefighters in advance to locate and connect to a fire hydrant rapidly. The FireHydrant class is related to two classes representing water sources and hose connections. We also connected all other concepts in our ontology related to some form of hose connection to HoseConnection class.

Several information requirements about the incident building are modelled as properties of the IncidentBuilding class. A complete list of the requirements can be seen in Figure 2. The figure also shows the relationship between IncidentBuilding and other classes. These classes include the BuildingOccupancy class, which represents a building’s occupancy based on the international building code (ICC, 2018a), the BuildingComponent class, which represents information about the different components of the building, and the ConstructionType class with its five possible alternatives (ICC, 2018a).

Figure 2: The IncidentBuilding class, its properties, and its relationship with other classes.

The BuildingComponent class has several subclasses representing different building elements and systems firefighters interact with during their operations (see Figure 3(A)). BuildingSafetySystem is the largest subclass of BuildingComponent. Several subclasses are defined for BuildingSafetySystem that capture information about the different fire safety systems found inside buildings. The complete list is shown in Figure 3(B). An automatic fire extinguishing system refers to sprinkler systems or another automatic fire extinguisher system installed in a building. In most buildings, a sprinkler system is separated into coverage zones (OSHA, 2015). This information is valuable to firefighters because the fire can be located based on the active sprinkler zone. The Fire alarm system and other sensors and detectors are also divided into different zones. A standpipe system is a system of pipes in a building that provides water for manual firefighting and, in some cases, to sprinkler systems (OSHA, 2015). A fire department connection (FDC) is an inlet through which firefighters feed water into the standpipe system. In contrast, fire hose connections (FHC) are outlets of the standpipe system inside the building where firefighters can connect their fire hoses (OSHA, 2015).

In addition to safety systems, other building components firefighters may interact with are also captured in the ontology. This includes several building utilities that usually need to be shut down or at least controlled during fire emergencies (OSHA, 2015). Firefighters should also be informed of the location and type of any hazardous material they may come across in the building. Information regarding the façade of an incident building is essential for firefighters. Some rooftop elements could be helpful in some firefighting operations, but they can also cause hazards. For instance, skylights can be used to ventilate a building, but they can also cause firefighters to fall through (OSHA, 2015). Limited information about structural and nonstructural building elements is modelled in the ontology to not overload firefighters with excess information. The complete list of the nonstructural elements (subclasses of NonStructuralElement) is given in Figure 3(C).

Figure 3: Subclasses of (left) BuildingComponent class, (top right) BuildingSafetySystem class, and (bottom right) NonStructuralElement class.

Materials in this degree require considerable preheating, under all ambient temperature conditions, before ignition and combustion can occur. Materials in this degree also include finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. 2 - Materials that must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperatures before ignition can occur. Under normal conditions, these materials would not form hazardous atmospheres with air, but under high ambient temperatures or under moderate heating, they could release vapour in sufficient quantities to produce hazardous atmospheres with air. Materials in this degree also include finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. 3 - Liquids and solids (including finely divided suspended solids) that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions. Materials in this degree produce hazardous atmospheres with air under almost all ambient temperatures are readily ignited under almost all conditions. 4 - Materials that rapidly or completely vaporize at atmospheric pressure and normal ambient temperature or that are readily dispersed in air and burn readily.
