Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1103285A1] A method and an apparatus for reducing the consequences of a fire in a tunnel, the method consisting in generating, inside the tunnel (3), a wall (2) of non-flammable liquid upstream of a region affected by a fire and a wall (2) of non-flammable liquid downstream of the region. The walls of non-flammable liquid are arranged transversely to the longitudinal extension of the tunnel (3) and are adapted to prevent or substantially limit the spreading of the fumes, gases and heat produced by the fire to the regions that are contiguous to the region affected by the fire. The walls (2) of non-flammable liquid can be crossed by people fleeing the region affected by the fire. <IMAGE>
