A fire hazard is any condition that can cause a fire or make a fire burn more intensely. The three elements needed for a fire are heat, fuel, and oxygen. Fires are classified into different categories based on the type of fuel involved. Common fire hazards include electrical issues, lightning strikes, flammable gases or liquids, and hot surfaces. Smoke detectors, heat detectors, and flame detectors can help detect fires. It's important to only fight small fires if it's safe to do so and know how to properly use a fire extinguisher; otherwise call the fire department and evacuate the area.

HAZARDS

2. What is a fire hazard?
• Conditions that favor fire development or growth
• Oxygen, fuel, and heat
• Fire hazards usually involve the mishandling of fuel
or heat
• Fire or combustion is a chemical reaction between
oxygen and a combustible fuel
• Source of ignition= Spark, flame and high
temperature are needed

3. Fire Triangle
• The triangle illustrates the
three elements a fire
needs to ignite: heat, fuel,
and an oxygen
• The fire extinguishes by
removing any one of the
elements in the fire
triangle

19. Fire Detection Devices
Smoke detectors
•require a flow of air in order to work well
Heat detectors
•detect fires where there is no smoke
activated by the significant increase of
temperature associated with fire
Flame detectors
• react to the movement of flames.

21. DON’TS
•The smoke is extremely thick.
•The fire is too hot for you to get close enough to fight
it effectively.
•The fire is greater than 3 feet across.
•There are potentially hazardous substances near the
fire.
•You do not have the correct type of fire extinguisher
for the fire at hand.
•You do not know how to use the fire extinguisher.

22. DO’s
• Call the fire department.
• Begin evacuating others.
• Turn off the gas valve to prevent escalation
• Meet at the preassigned meeting place.
• Make sure that all persons have safely escaped.
• When the fire department arrives, inform a
firefighter if anyone is missing; do not reenter
the building yourself.

23. DO’s
• Regularly check electrical equipment
• Maintain proper fire safety
equipment
• Follow correct steps to put out fires
and evacuate the building

24. ACTIVITY
• Search for fire and emergency plan
symbols
• Draw a floor plan/blue print of your
home
• Make a fire escape plan for your home
