Rosario security fire legislation seguridad incendios legislación In Argentina there is a noticeable regulatory void in terms of Fire Protection. In the absence of specific legislation, the provitions of Decree 351/79 are widely applied, despite this was originally intended as a standard applicable to occupational safety. Four decades later, without having been updated, basic elements such as dry standpipes, or innovative systems such as high pressure mists, remain outside the legal requirements. The lack of regulations extends to fire services and the provision of water for fire services, resulting in very poor conditions for fire fighting operations. This work considers the conflicts due to this situation and proposes sources for updating applicable standards. En la Argentina existe un notable vacío normativo en lo que hace a la protección contra incendios. A falta de legislación específica se aplican las consideraciones del Decreto 351/79 que fue pensado como norma aplicable a la seguridad laboral. Cuatro décadas después, sin haber sido actualizado, se mantienen fuera de las prescripciones legales elementos básicos como las montantes secas, o sistemas innovadores como las nieblas a alta presión. La falta de normas se hace extensiva a los servicios de bomberos y a la provisión de agua para extinción, dando lugar a condiciones muy poco favorables para las operaciones de lucha contra el fuego. El trabajo examina los conflictos debidos a esta situación y propone fuentes para la actualización de normas aplicables.
