Add to ORKGRecent and progressing work in the development of systems approach for design of fire protection in buildings is examined. Scope of coverage includes such areas as review of fire safety systems approach in the U.S. and an overview of extensive and more pertinent fire growth systems analysis approaches. A fire model with its impact based on a state's-transition concept is proposed. Fire is viewed as two distinct sequences: fire behavior and human behavior. Finally, a plan for the derivation of viable fire protection engineering technology is presented
