The document discusses the fire triangle, which outlines the three elements (heat, fuel, and oxygen) that are necessary for a fire to start and continue burning. It explains how firefighters work to remove one or more of these elements to extinguish fires, such as applying water to reduce heat or smothering a fire to reduce oxygen. The document also provides information on common fire causes, safety precautions, and proper emergency response procedures during a fire.
SecurAlert Fire Prevention - October 2014Chris Carney
Fires in the US resulted in over $10 billion in property damage in 2013, with over 2,800 deaths and nearly 17,000 injuries. Cooking fires were the leading cause of home fires, while smoking was the leading cause of fire deaths. Proper use of smoke detectors and having an evacuation plan can help reduce fire risks and increase safety.

Three things must be present for a fire to occur: fuel, heat, and oxygen. Fires are classified based on the type of fuel burning. The three most common types of fire extinguishers are water, carbon dioxide, and dry chemical. Water extinguishers are for Class A fires only. Carbon dioxide extinguishers are for Class B and C fires and work by removing oxygen. Dry chemical extinguishers can be used on Class A, B, or C fires and work by separating fuel from oxygen.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

What You Must Know About Fire For Prevention & Survival!
1. Fire can save your life.
It can also take your life.
What you need to know
for survival and safety.
Updated 2022
2. We rely on fire for heat, for cooking, for
signaling.
The ability to make fire is one of the
essentials of human survival.
The ability to put out a fire is of more
immediate importance in our homes and
work.
3. More Free Information
Since Slideshare no longer supports links,
I’ve put all the links to free apps, gear and web
pages on my web site at
www.bobmayer.com
Use the pop up from the following image there and
scroll through for what you want:
4. Fire is your friend in a survival situation. I know we’d all like to
use that bow and stick, but for emergencies, a lighter is much
easier.
The plasma lighter on the left is also a flashlight and
rechargeable.
I pack several lighters both electric and gas . Windproof.
Stormproof matches in a waterproof container.
Lighters and Matches
5. Since I list a rechargeable lighter on the previous page, power
becomes an issue. I used to focus on using batteries for power,
because rechargeable requires, well, charging. However, I’ve
become a fan of solar, which allows a renewable power source
from nature.
What’s neat about this particular model is it has three cords
built into the back: micro-USB, Lightning and C. Nothing worse
than having power and no cord. Links to all gear on my web
site.
Power
6. Starting a Fire
The keys to starting a fire is to gather
proper flammables in 3 piles:
-Tinder: dry, flammable material that
needs only a few sparks to ignite. Wood
shavings. Thin, fibrous plant material. Fine
steel wool.
-Kindling: slightly larger to initially feed the
fire. Dry wood chips. Twigs. Dry strips of
bark. Paper
-Firewood: thicker branches and logs.
7. Field Expedient Fire Starting
If you don’t have your lighters,
matches or magnesium fire starter:
Hand drill: labor intensive.
Mirror/Glass: requires sunlight and
parabolic mirror or lens.
8. Field Expedient Fire Starting
Hand drill: This field expedient way to build
a fire is also the most labor intensive. Use a
piece of hardwood as the fireboard. Make a
notch in it with a knife or pointed rock. You
need a two-foot-long stick whose tip fits into
the notch. Surround the notch with tinder. Roll
the stick between your palms (wear gloves if
you have them), causing friction. Enough
friction causes heat. It will start smoking and
ignite the kindling. Slowly add kindling to build
the fire.
9. Field Expedient Fire Starting
Mirror/Glass: This requires two items.
Sunlight and a parabolic mirror or lens. The
reflector of a flashlight, or the clean inside of
a soda can cut open are possibilities in a
pinch. A clear bottle filled with water can also
work. Anything that can focus the rays of the
sun. Direct the focus sunlight on the kindling.
10. Field Expedient Fire Starting
Sustaining a long term fire: keep the flames
going. If a fire burns down to embers, you use
the core of that to restart the fire, using the
same flow as starting a new fire: tinder,
kindling, firewood. Tossing firewood on
embers could disperse the embers and cause
you to start over again.
11. Field Expedient Fire Starting
The most field expedient is to be
prepared.
Have your storm proof lighters,
matches and magnesium fire starter.
If you’ve never started a fire in nature
from scratch, you should try it. It is not
as easy as most people believe.
13. In Case of Fire
If your clothes are on fire: stop-drop-roll.
If escaping a fire, close doors behind you
as you exit.
If you touch a door handle and it’s hot, or
the door itself is hot, don’t open the door.
If you have to escape through smoke, stay
low.
14. In Case of Fire
Once out of the house, don’t go back in.
Meet at your IRP.
If trapped in the house, stay in a room with
doors closed.
Place a wet towel under the door opening
to block it.
Call 911. If you have a window, open it and
signal.
15. Immediate Rally Point
The IRP is a place far enough away from
the house to not be affected by the fire, but
easily recognizable in the dark where
everyone will meet.
17. Using a Fire Extinguisher
Buy dry chemical extinguishers, rather than
water-based. Chemical are effective with grease or
electrical fires.
NEVER use a water-based with those types of
fire.
USE PASS when employing a fire extinguisher:
Pull the pin and hold facing away from you.
Aim low. Aim at the base of the fire.
Squeeze the handle.
Sweep the extinguisher from side to side.
18. Evacuating
Take a look out of all your windows. Can you get
out and to the ground safely? My wife looked out
the master bedroom in one house we were renting
and while it was on the main floor from the front, it
was three stories up from the rear. We bought an
emergency three-story ladder that you can throw
out the window.
