Abstract
Fires are caused many civilian deaths and injuries, and property damage per year. Over 95 percent of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. This report includes a fire at the Plasco building, one of the high-rise buildings in Tehran. Corrosion in electrical wiring, to be a lot of gas cylinder and flammable liquids and the accumulation of clothes in building corridors were The causes of the fires and spread of them. Bending deflection, the loss of resistance of columns and steel beams and collapse of the building can be attributed to excessive thermal. The challenges of emergency management on the scene of fires, unclear incident commander in the initial moments of fires, overcrowding and notification-related matters can be considered as the problems of Plasco building fires.
