The document discusses fire fighting procedures for a derrick barge undergoing refurbishment. It defines fire as a chemical reaction called combustion that occurs when oxygen, heat, and a fuel source are present. Fires are classified into different types based on the material burning. The key elements that allow a fire to burn are defined as the combustible fuel, oxygen, and the temperature of ignition. Methods for fighting fires are described as reducing these elements like temperature, fuel, or oxygen through techniques such as using water, foam, or dry chemicals. Personal protective equipment for firefighting is also outlined.

FIRE FIGHTING
Definition of the FIRE:
• Is the development of a chemical reaction,
also called combustion, that happens
when the three elements of the triangle
(oxygen, temperature and combustible)
are combined together.

FIRE FIGHTING
Definitions:
• COMBUSTIBLE
Is the substance that can burn.
• OXYGEN (THE COMBURENT)
Is the substance that let the combustible to burn.
• TEMPERATURE OF INFLAMMABILITY
Is the lowest temperature of the combustible material
that take part at the chemical reaction, as gas
releaser, when vapors are released into the
atmosphere in enough quantity for the reaction with
the comburent.

The main products of combustion are:
• The FIRE, as primary product.
• Secondary products, such as carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, ash, vapors.

If a Fire breaks out, always try to isolate at
least one of the three elements that contribute
to a Fire keeping up !
Always use the proper Fire Fighting System
and Extinguishing Agent for a Fire extinction !
Always wear and use properly your Personal
Protective Equipment !
Never forget :
SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU, TOO !!!
