- Fires can start from a combination of oxygen, heat, and fuel. They spread rapidly through chemical reactions.
- Over 2.8 million fires occur in the UK each year, but only 1 in 5 are reported. Fires cause hundreds of deaths annually.
- New legislation was introduced after deadly fires at Woolworths in 1979 and Bradford City Football Club in 1985 to improve fire safety standards.
- Proper fire safety procedures include knowing fire classifications, what to do upon discovery of a fire or hearing an alarm, evacuation routes, and extinguisher use. Training staff and having emergency plans are important.

Understand why it is essential that fire emergency procedures are implemented and monitored on a daily basis
Distinguish between the different types of extinguishers and their limitations and the fires for which they are suited.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

7. Fire is a chemical reaction involving rapid oxidation or
burning of a fuel. It needs three elements to occur:
OXYGEN - The air we breathe is about 21 percent
oxygen. fire only needs an atmosphere with at least
16 percent oxygen.
FUEL - Fuel can be any combustible material - solid,
liquid or gas. Most solids and liquids become a vapor
or gas before they will burn.
HEAT - Heat is the energy necessary to increase the
temperature of the fuel to a point where sufficient
vapors are given off for ignition to occur.
CHEMICAL REACTION - A chain reaction can occur when the three elements of fire
are present in the proper conditions and proportions. Fire occurs when this
rapid oxidation, or burning takes place.
Take any one of these factors away, and the fire cannot occur or will be extinguished if
it was already burning.

power tools. These metals burn at high
temperatures and give off
sufficient oxygen to
support combustion. They
may react violently with
water or other chemicals,
and must be handled with
care.
9. Sound the alarm

– it is safe to do so
– you have been trained to use it
Fire extinguishers should be tested in
a safe place, before using it on a fire

1) A copy of the main gate key
2) A copy of the school “Crisis Management Policy” (This
contains all the emergency services’ numbers.)
3) Contact numbers for every parent of every pupil in school.

IF NO OTHER OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE.
Ensure complete evacuation of your “Fire Zone”
To ensure that fire procedures are carried out correctly and safely.
Report / hand over “Fire Baton” to person in charge

16. • Extinguishers should be tested each year by a competent
person. (Chubb)
• Extinguishers should be visually examined by a competent
person on a monthly basis to ensure they are still serviceable.
• They should be on a wall bracket or in a stand.
• Extinguishers should not be used to hold open a fire door.
To do so is a criminal offence
Staff do not have to tackle any fire if they do not wish to do so, but
should know the location of their nearest extinguisher and the
type of extinguisher, to assist fellow members of staff.

Take a second extinguisher (of the appropriate type) if readily
available
Always test the extinguisher away from the fire before use
Keep low
Always have a way out (keep your back to the exit door)
Leave immediately if the fire begins to get out of control
If any amount is used or safety pin is missing, consider it empty
and get it serviced ASAP.
23. To prevent/delay the spread of smoke and fire
Fire doors should have the following features:
