Abstract:
1. A safety system, comprising: a supply unit of a structure to facilitate delivery of breathable air from a source of compressed air to an air distribution system of the structure; a routing mechanism of the structure to provide a distribution of the breathable air; a plurality of civilian air supply enclosures, located in a corresponding plurality of rooms on either side of a hallway of the structure along a length of the structure and configured to: receive breathable air from the air distribution system based on the routing mechanism and regulate distribution of the breathable air to provide a civilian pressure of the breathable air that is suitable for direct human consumption through a civilian breathable air apparatus coupled with each civilian air supply enclosure; and a plurality of firefighter air supply enclosures, also located on either side of the hallway along the length of the structure outside the corresponding plurality of rooms and also configured to: receive breathable air from the air distribution system based on the routing mechanism and regulate distribution of the breathable air to provide a high-pressure of the breathable air that is suitable to fill the breathable air in a firefighter breathable air apparatus coupled with each firefighter air supply enclosure, the high-pressure being significantly higher than the civilian pressure, wherein the routing mechanism of the structure is configured to enable distribution of the breathable air from the air distribution system through at least one of a wall, a ceiling, and a floor between the civilian air supply enclosures and the firefighter air supply enclosures of the structure.
