Electrical, man-made, and forest fires are three common types of fire disasters. Electrical fires are often caused by faulty outlets, outdated appliances, light bulbs that are too high wattage for fixtures, and too many connections overloading extension boxes. Man-made fires frequently start from unextinguished cigarettes, fireworks that spark dry leaves, leaking fuel from cars, and transporting gas cylinders or kerosene stoves unsafely. Forest fires usually begin from lightning strikes but sometimes from spontaneous combustion of dry materials like sawdust and leaves, and can be either natural or human-caused.

Lightning
Lightning is caused when liquid and ice particles in clouds build up an electrical charge through collisions, which is then discharged as a lightning bolt that can reach temperatures over 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. While lightning strikes are very brief, they can ignite fires on impacted objects. The states most prone to lightning strikes are Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Colorado based on national lightning data.

Declining global temperatures between 1000-1900 have been linked to deforestation by scientists at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Using computer models, researchers found areas that experienced the most cooling had faced the heaviest deforestation. This challenges arguments that planting trees can effectively offset global warming caused by greenhouse gases.
Energy
Energy exists in different forms including mechanical, sound, chemical, thermal, electromagnetic, and nuclear. Energy can change forms but is never created or destroyed according to the law of conservation of energy. Technology has improved energy efficiency by reducing unwanted energy forms like heat and increasing the amount of useful energy from sources.
Forest fires by pascal
Forest fires can occur naturally through dry conditions or be caused by human activities like arson, carelessness, and agriculture. Natural fires provide some benefits like regulating plant succession and returning nutrients to soil, but can also cause erosion and monocultures. Human-caused forest fires burn around 800,000 hectares per year in central Europe, with Germany having the second highest rate. Globalization may also contribute to increased burning, and solutions include using robots to help prevent and fight fires.

fire fighting.pptx
Fire is a rapid oxidation reaction that releases heat and light. It requires fuel, oxygen, and heat in a self-sustaining chain reaction known as the fire tetrahedron. There are different stages of a fire from ignition to growth to decay. Fires can be classified based on the type of fuel, such as class A for ordinary combustibles, class B for flammable liquids, and class C for energized electrical equipment. Each class requires specific extinguishing agents to safely put out the fire.
Introduction to Power Plants.pdf

The course aims to help students understand different power generation sources and apply concepts to measure performance. Key topics include thermal, hydroelectric, gas turbine, nuclear, solar, geothermal, wind, and tidal power plants, as well as electrical systems and economics.
0ur fire project..
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material that releases heat, light, and various reaction products through the process of combustion. The flame is the visible portion of the fire and consists of hot gases that may become ionized to produce plasma depending on the substances and impurities involved. Fire can result in conflagration, with the potential for physical damage, but it also supports various ecological systems through processes like stimulating growth. While fire benefits ecosystems and human uses, it also presents hazards like decreased water quality and increased atmospheric pollution.
Chemistry of combustion
Three key elements are needed for a fire: fuel, air, and heat. Heat can transfer through conduction, convection, or radiation. The temperature and color of a fire's flames provide information about how hot it is, with blue/violet flames being the hottest. A fire burns as air flows in, is heated, and rises, pulling more air in behind it. Fires can be extinguished by removing fuel, oxygen, or heat, or by using fire suppression methods like cooling, smothering, or starvation. Proper precautions and fire safety practices can help prevent fires.
Inquiry Project 3 & 4
Fire alarms are triggered by smoke or heat. Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of the home and batteries replaced yearly. Fires start when a fuel source is heated to its ignition point in the presence of oxygen. The fire tetrahedron shows that a fire requires heat, fuel, oxygen and a chain reaction to burn. After a fire, homeowners should contact their insurance, utility companies and local disaster relief services for assistance.
Heating effect of electric current, Physics, Electricity
The document discusses the heating effect of electricity, which is one of the most common effects. It explains that when electric current passes through a conductor, the electrons collide with atoms and transfer their kinetic energy, producing heat. The amount of heat generated depends on the current, resistance of the material, and duration of current flow, as defined by Joule's law. Common applications that use this heating effect include electric irons, heaters, stoves, and light bulbs. Nichrome is often used as the heating element due to its high melting point and resistance.
Chapter 09
This document describes various potential sources of ignition that could start a fire. It discusses natural sources like lightning and geological events. It also examines human-related sources such as smoking materials, matches, lighters, appliances, chimneys and more. The key is that an ignition source must be able to produce enough sustained heat to ignite the first fuel. Proper identification of the ignition source requires a scientific investigation to determine what was the competent heat source in any given fire.
SHEQ FOUNDATION Fire safety
Fire safety is important to prevent devastating fires. Fires are most common in homes, often while people are asleep. The main causes of residential fires are careless smoking, cooking, electrical issues, and gas leaks. To prevent fires, fuels and ignition sources must be kept separate. If a fire does occur, it is essential to isolate the fuel source, remove oxygen, or reduce heat to put it out. Proper fire safety includes prevention through education and protection systems, as well as suppression techniques.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

- 1. Fire Related Disasters Presented by: Rachel Moses VIII ‘A’
- 2. What is a Fire? • Fire is a high-temperature chemical reaction in which a fuel rapidly reacts with an oxidizing agent to generate heat, light, and a variety of products.
- 3. Types of Fire Disasters • Electrical • Man made • Forest
- 4. Causes for Electrical fires • Most electrical fires are caused by faulty electrical outlets and old, outdated appliances. • Installing a bulb with a wattage that is too high for the lamps and light fixtures is a leading cause of electrical fires. • Outdated wiring often causes electrical fires. • Too many conections for one extension box. •
- 5. Causes for Man made fire • Most fires are caused when cigarettes are not put out correctly. • Fireworks can start a fire if a spark touches a dry leaf and fires can spread quickly. • Fuel leakage from cars • Carrying gas cylinders and kerosene stoves in trains or busses.
- 6. Causes for Forest Fires • Forest fires are generally started by lightning, with a very small percentage started by spontaneous combustion of dry fuel such as sawdust and leaves. • There are two types of forest fires they are • 1. Natural • 2. Human
