Original title Protección contra incendios en la indústria hotelera [in Spanish]
Bibliographic information Apr.-June 1980, No.72, p.7-18. Illus.
Abstract The commonest hazards of fires (asphyxiation, burns, injury, heart attack) and their causes (heating or kitchen equipment, overloading of electric circuits, smoking, naked flames, objects at high temperatures) are analysed. Preventive measures are reviewed in the light of the Spanish legislation: problems of established hotels (building height, stairways and lifts, flammable materials, fire doors, emergency exits); alarm and extinguishing systems.
