MAPPING OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER: A CASE STUDY IN ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL GONTOR 2 PONOROGO

Abstract

Fire cases are one of the disasters that are increasing every year, one of the
causes is the inadequate fire protection system and skills in using fire
extinguishers. Gontor 2 Islamic Boarding School Ponorogo is a place that
has 24-hour student activities with large electricity needs, continuous
kitchen activities to provide dining facilities for students, as well as unsafe
behavior and flammable materials that can be opportunities for fires. This
study is to map the active fire protection system in the form of fire
extinguishers and to map safety signs in the form of gathering points and
evacuation routes. Method: This study is an analytical qualitative study,
with a descriptive method supported by interview data and field surveys.
Primary data comes from the results of field surveys and observations of
active fire protection systems and safety signs using a checklist form that
refers to the results of interviews with managers. The study found that it is
still necessary to increase the distribution capacity of Fire Extinguishers
owned, mapping safety signs in the form of evaluation routes and gathering
points, and increasing the procurement of fire fighting facilities and
infrastructure. Based on the mapping results, areas that have the potential
for fire are the kitchen, cafeteria, residential areas of the caretakers of the
boarding school, high-rise buildings, and there is still a need to increase the
number of Fire Extinguishers by 30 units, evacuation routes by 22 units,
gathering points by 2 units, and efforts to maintain fire protection
equipment.
