Abstract

Fire separation distance is an effective measure to prevent fire spreading and reduce fire loss.The small fire separation distance is less effective and the large one is unnecessarily redundant.Setting rational fire separation distance is of practical significance.Cost-benefit analysis of fire separation distance and quantitative method on cost and benefit are introduced in the paper, based on which, and taking a liquefied petroleum gas station as an example, the best fire separation distance with maximum net contribution is obtained through the cost-benefit analysis and specific quantitative calculation.This paper offers guidance for setting reasonable fire separation distance and reducing its costs.
