WHAT IS FIRE?
• FIRE IS A CHEMICAL REACTION THAT GIVES OFF LIGHT AND HEAT. IT IS AN
EXAMPLE OF THE CHEMICAL PROCESS. FIRE IS USEFUL, BUT ALSO VERY
DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE HOUSES, TREES AND MANY OTHER
THINGS TO BURN INTO ASHES.
TRIANGLE OF FIRE
OXYGEN
•
AIR
FUEL
•
ANY MATERIAL THAT WILL BURN
HEAT
•
SPARKS, MATCHES, FLAMES
FIRE TETRAHEDRON
CLASSIFICATION OF FIRE
HEAT TRANSFER
MAJOR CAUSES OF FIRES
Carelessness with Improper rubbish
smoking and matches disposal
Misuse of electricity Improper storage of Arson
(overloading a circuit or flammables (such as gasoline)
overuse of extension cords)
EXIT DRILL IN THE HOME
BUILDING FIRE EXITS
Each area of the building shall have at least two means
of escape remote from each other that are to be used in
a fire emergency. The location of exits and the path of
egress should be shown on maps posted through out the
building.
Fire exit doors must not be blocked or locked to prevent
emergency use when employees are within the building.
Exit routes from the building must be free and clear from
obstructions. All exits are marked with signs designating
exits from the building.
T-P-A-S-S
PORTABLE FIRST AID APPLIANCE
• ISA DEVICE WITHIN ITS CHEMICAL, FLUIDS,& GASES FOR
EXTINGUISHING AND USED FOR SMALL AREA OF FIRE.
• IS DESIGNED TO FIGHT SMALL INCIPIENT OR UNUSUAL ONES THAT
ARE NOT EASILY PUT OUT OF WATER.
• FORMERLY KNOWN AS “FIRE EXTINGUISHER”
PARTS
• Handle • Siphon tube
• Operation lever • Label
• Safety pin • Inspection tag
• Safety pin lock • Hose
• Pressure gauge • Nozzle
• Cylinder
Although extinguishers can vary in size, color and type of
extinguishing agent, all devices operate basically the same way.
If the fire is small and heavy smoke is NOT present and you have an
exit available to you for evacuation purposes, grab the nearest
appropriate extinguisher and the P-A-S-S procedure.
P PULL the pin located in the extinguisher's
-
handle.
A - AIM the nozzle or horn at the base of the fire. Aim the discharge
toward the base of the flames. Do not aim the fire extinguisher directly
onto the source, as it may spread the flames. Begin discharging 8-10
feet away from the fire source.
S -SQUEEZE or press the handle and
operation lever
S .- SWEEP from side to side at the
base of the fire until it is out.
FIRE PROTECTION STRATEGIES
1. PRE-FIRE PLANNING- TO KNOW THE PROBLEMS AND WHAT TO DO IN CASE FIRE STARTS IN A
PARTICULAR BUILDING OR AREA.
2. SIZE-UP- AN ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION.
3. RESCUE- REMOVAL OF VICTIMS FROM ENDANGERED AREAS AND BRINGING THEM TO A PLACE OF
SAFETY.
4. COVER EXPOSURE- TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM EXTENDING TO OTHER INVOLVED
BUILDING/STRUCTURE.
FIRE PROTECTION STRATEGIES
5. CONFINEMENT- TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM EXTENDING TO OTHER UNINVOLVED PORTIONS
OF THE BURNING BUILDING.
6. VENTILATION- TO DISPLACE SMOKE, HOT, POISONOUS OR TOXIC GASES FROM A
CONTAMINATED AREA AND REPLACING THEM WITH FRESH AIR FROM OUTSIDE.
7. EXTINGUISHMENT- TO PUT OUT THE MAIN BODY OF FIRE.
8. SALVAGE- TO PROTECT PROPERTIES OF VALUE FROM PREVENTABLE DAMAGES DUE TO
SOURCES OTHER THAN THE FIRE.
FIRE PROTECTION STRATEGIES
9. OVERHAULING- TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM REKINDLING.
10. POST FIRE ANALYSIS- A CRITIQUE OF THE FIRE OPERATIONS CONDUCTED.
INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS
Smoke alarms save lives by warning you about a fire
while there's time to escape. Install alarms on every floor
of your home, including the basement, and outside each
sleeping area - inside as well, if you sleep with the door
closed - and test them once a month. Smoke alarms lose
their sensitivity over time. Replace alarms 10 or more
years old.
AUTOMATIC HOME FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM
Consider installing an automatic home fire sprinkler system in your home.
Sprinklers can contain and even extinguish a home fire in less time than it takes the
fire department to arrive.
PLAN YOUR ESCAPE
If there’s a fire, you have to get out fast, so
be prepared. Draw a floor plan of your home,
marking two ways out of each room. Go over
the plan with your household so that everyone
knows how to escape if there's a fire, then
physically walk through each escape route.
Decide on an outside meeting place in front of
your home where everyone will meet after
they've escaped. Practice your escape plan by
holding a fire drill twice a year.
HOME SAFETY TIPS (PICTURES)
•THINGS TO DO IN CASE ...............
Unattended cooking equipment Unattended electric iron
Improper wiring system
Improper discarding of cigarette butts Octopus connection – overloading of circuit.
Unattended children playing matches Mosquito coils near combustible rugs
Fire trapped window grills
Never leave a warm or hot iron
unattended. An unattended
iron that is on will scorch
fabric and may cause a fire.
