Why might fire spread
from where it starts?
– Delayed discovery
– Large quantities of combustible materials
– Lack of fire separation in walls & doors
– Ventilation systems
23

Prevention
• How we can limit Fuel and Ignition sources?
– Good housekeeping
– Maintenance of fixed electrical systems
– Regular inspections and testing of all portable electrical
appliances
– Personal electrical equipment prohibited
– Minimizing extension/wander cables
– Secure storage of waste and outside goods

Extinction of fires
• Fire-fighting revolves around three principles
• Remove one element or more of fire triangle,
by:
– Starving it of fuel;
– Smothering it to exclude oxygen;
– Cooling it to reduce temperature.
