Fire safety in confined spaces presents unique challenges due to limited access, potential for oxygen deficiency, and the accumulation of hazardous gases. To mitigate these risks, stringent safety protocols are essential. These include thorough atmospheric testing prior to entry, adequate ventilation to remove smoke and toxic gases, and the use of specialized equipment like self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Robust entry and rescue procedures, including emergency egress routes and standby personnel, are also crucial to ensure the safety of firefighters operating in these hazardous environments.
