The document outlines fire hazards and prevention strategies, emphasizing the importance of understanding the fire triangle: heat, fuel, and oxygen. It details different classes of fires and corresponding extinguishers, their uses, and safety precautions. Additionally, it provides do's and don'ts for managing fire situations and encourages awareness of personal responsibilities in fire safety.

4.  Any actions,materials or conditions
that might increase the size or
severity of a fire or that might cause
a fire to start are called fire hazards.
 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.

5.  To understand how to avoid firesand fire related injuries.
 To create awareness of fire deathsand injuries and their
commoncauses.
 To inform participants of theirpersonal responsibility
toward firesafety and injury prevention.

7.  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.
FIRE= Fuel + Oxyegn + Heat + Chain Reaction
If remove any componentno fire will occurred.

8. There Are Six Classes Of Fire
CLASS A – Combustible Material (Flammable Solids Ex.Wood,Paper,Rubber .
CLASS B – Flammable liquids Ex.Petrol,Diesel,Paint Etc.
CLASS C – Flammable Gases Ex.Hydrogen,Butane or Methane Etc.
CLASS D – Combustible Metals Ex.Magnesium,Aluminium or Potassium Etc.
CLASS E – Electrical Equipment Ex.Computers,Generators Etc.
CLASS F – Cooking Oil &Fat

9.  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.

10. A Fire Extinguisher is an
active fire protection
Device used to control
small fires, often in
emergency situations.
It is not intended for use
on an out-of-control fire.

12. There are 5 main types of Fire Extinguisher.
1) Water (Water mist, water Spary.)
2) Foam
3) Dry Powder. Standard (Dry powder specialist)
4) Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
5) Wet Chemical

13. Water (Water
mist, water
Spray.)
Foam
Dry Powder.
Standard (Dry
powder
specialist)
Carbon Dioxide
(CO2)
Wet Chemical
There are 5 main types of Fire Extinguisher.

14.  Overview – Water Extinguishers are the most
common fire Extinguishers type for class A fire risk.
 Label Colour – Bright Red
 Use For – Organic materials
Ex.- Paper, Wood etc
 Do not use for – Fires involving electrical
equipment
Kitchen Fires
Flammable gas and liquids

15.  Overview – Foam extinguishers are most
common type of fire extinguisher for class B
fires but also work on Class A fires as they
are water- based
 Label Colour – Cream
 Use For – Organic materials
Ex.- Paper, Cardboard Wood
 Do not use for – Kitchen Fires
Fires involving electrical
equipment
Flammable material

16.  Overview – Standard dry powder
extinguishers are also called ABC
extinguishers because they tackle class A, B
and C fires
 Label Colour – Blue
 Use For – Organic materials
Ex.- Paper, Cardboard Wood
 Do not use for – Fires involving cooking oil
Fires involving electrical
equipment over 1000 V

17.  Overview – CO2 extinguishers are predominantly
used for electrical fire risks and are usually the
main fire extinguisher type provided in Computer
server rooms.
 Label Colour – Black
 Use For – Flammable liquids
Ex.-Paint and Petrol
Electrical Fires
 Do not use for – Kitchen Fires
Combustible materials
Ex. Paper, wood or textiles.
Flammable material

18.  Overview – Wet chemical extinguishers are
designed for use on Class F fires involving
cooking oils and Fats.
 Label Colour – Yellow
 Use For – Cooking oil /Fat fires
 Do not use for – Flammable liquid or gas
fires
Electrical Fires

20. There are 4 types of Extinguishment
1) Cooling – Removal of heat from the scene of fire is
called as cooling.
By Water, Foam extinguisher.
2) Starvation - Removal of fuel from the scene of
fire is called as starvation.
By cutting fuel supply
3) Smothering - Removal of oxygen from the fire
By using CO2 fire extinguisher.
4) Chain breaking – Break the Chain
By DCP
, blanketing
If You interfere with one of the
four, the fire goes out.

21. Do’s
• Call the Fire department
• Turn off the gas valve.
• Meet at the preassigned
meeting place.
• When the Fire department
arrives, inform a firefighter
if anyone missing do not
reentered the building
yourself.
• Regularly Check electrical
equipments
• Maintain proper fire safety
equipments.
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.
