Fire safety
The document discusses fire safety in schools, including the chemistry and growth of fires, fire classifications, fire extinguishers, and rescue procedures. It explains that fire is a chemical reaction that requires fuel, oxygen, and heat. Fires progress through incipient, smoking, flame, and heat stages as they grow. Methods to extinguish fires include starvation, blanketing, and cooling. Portable fire extinguishers use various media like water, foam, dry chemical powder, and carbon dioxide. Proper fire extinguisher use follows the PASS method of pull, aim, squeeze, sweep. Precautions after escaping a fire include sealing cracks and covering vents. Rescue procedures involve feeling doors and openings for heat before entering
How to be safe in a fire
Smoke alarms save lives and should be tested monthly. Have an escape plan with two ways out of every room and a meeting place. If there is a fire, crawl low and feel doors for heat before opening. Call 911 once safely outside.
Fire Training
The document discusses the importance of fire safety and prevention. It states that fire can be a good servant but a bad master, so it is crucial to always keep fire under control to avoid disasters. Calamities occur without warning, so people must be prepared at all times. Practicing prevention is better than dealing with the consequences of a fire. The document also provides information on the components needed for a fire, classifications of fires, and fire safety procedures.
Fire safety-program 1122
This document provides information on fire safety. It discusses the three elements of fire (heat, fuel, and oxygen), how fire spreads through conduction, convection and radiation, and different classes of fire. It emphasizes the importance of having an escape plan in case of a fire and provides tips on fire safety in the home such as installing smoke alarms and sprinklers, keeping matches and lighters out of reach of children, and cooking safely. The document stresses staying low in smoke and calling for help if trapped in a fire.
What to do in case of fire
1) In case of a fire, stay calm and follow evacuation procedures. Find the two closest exits, know where fire alarms and extinguishers are located, and be familiar with your building's evacuation plan.
2) If you discover a small fire, use a fire extinguisher by pulling the pin, aiming at the base of the fire, squeezing the handle, and sweeping side to side. For larger fires, close doors and activate the fire alarm to warn others before evacuating.
3) If trapped, seal doors and vents with wet cloth to hold back smoke, keep low where the air is cleaner, and signal for help from a window. Your safety during a fire depends on being
A trip to the firehouse
The chief told the firemen to quickly descend the pole to respond to the emergency. It is important for families to have a designated meeting place in case of a fire. Firefighters bravely do their job of putting out fires using equipment like gear and trucks, getting to locations via routes and messages dispatched. Safety practices include having secondary escape routes and fire drills, while devices like smoke detectors can detect risks.
Firedrill exercise
The document provides instructions for what to do during a fire drill exercise, including closing windows, turning off lights, lining up quietly, using listening ears, following the teacher and walking nicely, and waiting until the alarm bell stops or firefighters arrive.
Chemistry and behavior of fire
This document defines key terms related to fire chemistry and behavior. It explains that the three necessary elements for a fire are heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen from air). Fires start when these elements come together in the proper proportions. Fuels must be in gaseous form to burn, requiring solids and liquids to undergo pyrolysis or vaporization first when heated. Heat is then transferred between objects via conduction, convection or radiation to allow the fire to spread.

Fire is caused by an oxidation reaction called combustion, which requires fuel, heat, oxygen, and a chain reaction. These four components make up the fire tetrahedron. To start a fire, the fuel and oxygen must be present and heated to their kindling temperatures to start the chain reaction. Once started, a fire can be extinguished by removing any part of the tetrahedron, or intensified by adding a catalyst to increase the combustion reaction rate. While fire can be dangerous, it also provides benefits like light, heat, and uses in certain ecosystems.

Fire safety
There are four requirements for a fire: oxygen, heat, fuel, and a chemical reaction. Fires can be extinguished by removing any one of these requirements, such as oxygen, heat, or fuel. Proper use of a fire extinguisher involves pulling the pin, aiming at the base of the fire, squeezing the handle, and sweeping from side to side. Different types of extinguishers are used for different fuel types, and it is important to only fight small, incipient fires if possible to evacuate otherwise. Employee safety is the top priority in any fire emergency.
Fire Extinguisher Presentation Trc
When a fire alarm sounds or a fire is discovered, employees should immediately evacuate the building. Employees should only attempt to use a fire extinguisher if they have been trained on its proper use and the fire is very small and just starting, such as in a waste basket. Otherwise, employees should pull the fire alarm and exit the building, not trying to fight larger fires. When using an extinguisher, employees should follow the PASS method of pulling the pin, aiming at the base of the fire from 8 feet away, squeezing the handle, and sweeping from side to side until the fire is completely out.
