4. PROGRAMS OF THE BUREAU OF FIRE PROTECTION
1. PREVENTION PROGRAM
2. PROTECTION PROGRAM
3. SUPPRESSION PROGRAM

5. Targets and Objectives
1. To prevent (zero) fire incident;
2. To decrease and minimize the occurrence
of fire incidents and/or its damages;
3. Zero Casualty/Injury

6. WHAT IS FIRE?

7. Chemistry of Fire
Fire requires:
Fuel
Oxidizing substance–
usually oxygen in the
atmosphere
Ignition source–heat or
spark

8. FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT
THEORY
The principles of fire extinction consist of the elimination or
removal of one or more of the elements.
COOLING
SMOTHERING
STARVATION
STOP
CHAIN REACTION

10. 10
Radiation
Radiation is the transmission of heat
energy through electromagnetic wave.

11. 11
Convection
Convection is the transfer of heat energy
by the movement of heated fluids.

Heat Transfer by Conduction. It is the transmission of
heat from one body to another. It is the transfer of heat
from one molecule to another molecule

13. Four Stages of a Fire

14. Fires are classified into different classes
for purposes of identification
 CLASS A fires:
 These are fires involving all types of solid fuel such as:
trash, wood, paper, clothing, plastics, styrophomes, etc.
 WATER is the most effective
means of extinguishing Class A
fires.

15.  CLASS B fires:
 These are fires involving all types of Liquid and Gaseous
fuels: Kerosene, Gasoline, Diesel, Paints, Oil, LPGas, etc.
 WATER is not an effective means of
extinguishing Class B fires.
Best extinguishing agents:
 Dry Chemical type fire
extinguishers
 Carbon Dioxide or CO2
 AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming
Foam
 Sand

16.  CLASS C fires:
 These are fires involving energized Electrical Equipment:
 All types of electrical appliances, chords, sockets, power generators, etc.
 Never use WATER in extinguishing
Class C fires. Shut off first the source of
power before attempting to extinguish the fire.
Best extinguishers are:
 Dry Chemical type fire extinguishers
(Non-conductive extinguishing agents)
 Carbon Dioxide or CO2 (in normal conditions)
 When electrical equipment is de-energized,
extinguishers for Class A or B may be used.

17.  CLASS D fires:
 These are fires involving combustible Metals, such as:
Magnesium, Zirconium, Titanium, Sodium, Lithium,
Potassium, etc.
 Extinguishments of Class D fires requires:
 heat-absorbing medium that does not
react with the burning materials.
Best extinguishant are:
 Dry Powder by crusting, smothering or
heat-transfer.
 MET-L-X Powder in extinguisher form.

18.  CLASS K fires:
 Involves Combustible Cooking Media, such as:
Vegetable or Animal Oils and Fats.
 Extinguishments of Class K fires requires:
 use of Wet Chemical Base
extinguishing agents
AFFF or FFFP (Film Forming
Flouro-Protein)
 Dry Chemical Base extinguishing
agents,
such as: “PURPLE K”
