2. UNDERSTAND OF COMBUSTION PROCESS.
BASIC PRINCIPLE OF FIRE SAFETY
1. Enough OXYGENOXYGEN to sustain
combustion.
2. Enough HEATHEAT to reach ignition
temperature.
3. Some FUELFUEL or combustible
material.
Together, they produce the
CHEMICALCHEMICAL REACTIONREACTION that is fire.
Three things must be present at the
same time to produce fire:
Take away any of these things andTake away any of these things and
the fire will be extinguished.the fire will be extinguished.

3. MAJOR CAUSES OF FIRES
 Carelessness with
smoking, matches & open
fire.
 Miss-use of electricity
(overloading a circuit or
over use of extension
cords).
 Improper rubbish disposal.
 Improper storage of
flammables materials.
 Schedule PM work not
done in heater, furnace &
others heating elements.

16. HOW FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WORK.
1) Water extinguishers are filled with regular tap water.
2) Normally pressurized with air cartridge.
3) The most common way to remove heat is to spray water
on the fire.
TYPE-A (Water)
TYPE-A (Water) extinguish fire by taking
away the “heat” element of the Fire
Triangle.

17. HOW FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WORK.
1) AFFF extinguishers are filled with regular tap water AND
AFFF LIQUID.
2) Normally pressurized with air cartridge.
3) The AFFF creating a blanket of foam and cutting the
supply of oxygen between Fuel and Flame.
TYPE-AB (AFFF - FOAM)
TYPE-AB Foam fire extinguishers work by covering a
burning flammable liquid with a blanket of foam.

18. HOW FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WORK.
1) Type-BC GAS extinguishers are filled with non-flammable carbon
dioxide gas under extreme pressure.
2) CO2 are designed for flammable liquid and electrical fires only.
3) CO2 may be ineffective at extinguishing Class A fires.
TYPE-BC
(GAS)TYPE-BC GAS Carbon dioxide extinguishes work by displacing
oxygen and taking away the oxygen element of the fire triangle.

19. HOW FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WORK.
1) DCP extinguishers are filled with Sodium Bicarbonate, potassium
bicarbonate, or monoammonium phosphate.
2) Normally pressurized with air cartridge.
3) Dry chemical fire extinguisher is to blanket the fuel with an inert
solid.
TYPE-BC
(POWDER)TYPE-BC(DCP) dry chemical extinguisher sprays a very fine
powder of SODIUM BICARBONATE, potassium bicarbonate, or
monoammonium phosphate. These solids coat the
fuel and smother the fire.

20. HOW FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WORK.
1) TYPE-ABC fire extinguishers are filled with a fine yellow powder
and Nitrogen is used to pressurize the extinguishers.
2) An "ABC" extinguisher will have a label like this, indicating that it
may be used on class A,B, and C fires.
3) TYPE-ABC fire extinguisher is to blanket the fuel with an inert
powder.
TYPE-ABC
TYPE-ABC extinguishers put out fire by coating the fuel with a thin
layer of dust, separating the fuel from the oxygen in the air.

23. FIRE FIGHTING DECISION CRETERIA
 KNOW: YOUR DEPARTMENT EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AND
EVACAUTION ROUTES.
 KNOW: LOCATIONS OF EXTINGUISHERS IN YOUR AREA AND
HOW TO USE THEM.
 ALWAYS: SOUND THE ALARM REGARDLESS OF FIRE SIZE.
 AVOID: SMOKY CONDITIONS.
 ENSURE: AREA IS EVACUATED.
 DO NOT: ATTEMPT TO FIGHT UNLESS.
Alarm is sounded
Fire is small and contained
You have safe egress route (can be reached without exposure
to fire)
Available extinguishers are rated for size and type of fire
 If in doubt, IMMEDIATE evacuate!
“DON’T ATTEMPT TO FIGHT UNLESS YOU ARE TRAINED”

24. Fires can be very dangerous and you should always be certain
that you will not endanger yourself or others when attempting
to put out a fire.
For this reason, when a fire is discovered…
RULES FOR FIGHTING FIRES.
1. Assist any person in immediate danger to safety, if it can be
accomplished without risk to yourself.
2. Call to our Security or activate the building fire alarm. The fire
alarm will notify the fire department and other building occupants
and shut off the air handling system to prevent the spread of smoke.
If the fire is small (and Only after having done these
2 things), you may attempt to use an extinguisher to
put it out.
However . .However . .
. .. .

25. . . . before deciding to fight the fire, keep these
things in mind:
1. Know what is burning. If you don’t know what’s burning, you won’t know
what kind of extinguisher to use.
2. Even if you have an ABC fire extinguisher, there may be something in the fire
that is going to explode or produce toxic fumes.
Chances are you will know what’s burning, or at
least have a pretty good idea, but if you don’t, let
the fire department handle it.
RULES FOR FIGHTING FIRES.

26. . . . before deciding to fight the fire, keep these
things in mind:
Rules for Fighting FiresRules for Fighting Fires
3. Is the fire spreading rapidly beyond the point where it
started? The time to use an extinguisher is at the beginning
stages of the fire.
4. If the fire is already spreading quickly, it is best to simply
pull the fire alarm and evacuate the building.
As you evacuate a building, close doors and windows
behind you as you leave. This will help to slow the
spread of smoke and fire.

27. Do not fight the fire if:
Rules for Fighting FiresRules for Fighting Fires
 You don’t have adequate or appropriate equipment.
If you don’t have the correct type or large enough
extinguisher, it is best not to try fighting the fire.
 You might inhale toxic smoke. When synthetic
materials such as the nylon in carpeting or foam
padding in a sofa burn, they can produce hydrogen
cyanide, acrolein, and ammonia in addition to carbon
monoxide. These gases can be fatal in very small
amounts.
 Your instincts tell you not to. If you are
uncomfortable with the situation for any reason, just
let the fire department do their job.

28. Rules for Fighting FiresRules for Fighting Fires
The final rule is to always position yourself with an exit
or means of escape at your back before you attempt to
use an extinguisher to put out a fire.
In case the extinguisher malfunctions, or something
unexpected happens, you need to be able to get out
quickly. You don’t want to become trapped.

29. Always Report the Use of aAlways Report the Use of a
Fire ExtinguisherFire Extinguisher
Report any use of a fire extinguisher to EHS as soon as
possible. The extinguisher must be inspected and
refilled to make sure it is ready for use in an emergency.
