However, because of many combustible goods stored in an airtight and crowded space, the loss of property and life in case of a fire will be expected to be tremendous. For example, a fire occurred in Ycua Bolanos shopping mall in Asuncion city, Paraguay, on 1st of August, 2004, caused 509 people died and 144 people were injured. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to develop the fire prevention strategies and install fire fighting facilities in such area.
