Fuel - Any combustible material: solid, liquid or gas.
Oxygen - The air we breathe is about 21 percent oxygen.
Fire only needs an atmosphere with at least
16 percent oxygen.
Heat - Heat is the energy necessary to increase the
temperature of the fuel to a point where sufficient
vapors are given off for ignition to occur.
Chemical Reaction - A chain reaction can occur when the other
three elements are present in the proper
conditions and proportions.

Preventive Measures
Look for old wiring, worn insulation, broken and
loose electrical fittings.
Prevent motors from overheating by keeping
them clean and in good working order.
Utility lights should always have some type of
wire guard over them. Heat from an uncovered
light bulb can easily ignite ordinary
combustibles.
Never install a fuse rated higher than specified
for the circuit.
Investigate any appliance or electrical
equipment that smells strange. Unusual odors
can be the first sign of electrical fire.
Don't overload wall outlets. Two outlets should
have no more than two plugs.
Good maintenance program of all electrical
appliances

Remember how to R A C E during a fire
R – rescue personnel in immediate danger
A – alert others; yell out “fire, fire!” or activate fire
alarm
C – contain; close doors, windows (don’t lock)
E – extinguish / evacuate; extinguish manageable

Your instinct tells you not to do so
You don’t know what is burning
You suspect toxic fumes that you might inhale
There is no sure “way out” behind you
Your escape route is obstructed

Stop - where you are
Drop - to the floor or ground
Roll - around on the floor or ground
STOP, DROP and ROLL …This will smother the flames,
possibly saving your life.
If a co-worker catches on fire, smother the flames by
grabbing a blanket or rug and wrapping him up in it. That
could save him from serious burns or even death.

2) Alert others, activate fire alarm
3) Shut doors & windows (but don’t lock).
4) If manageable, extinguish fire with hand held fire extinguisher. Apply ' PASS '

5) Leave the area via nearest exit (never use elevator). If trapped in an enclosed
area or building:
never open a closed door without feeling it first. If the door is hot, try another exit.
get to your hands and knees and crawl. The possibility of inhaling smoke is less near
the floor.
Make use of any available shield such as blankets or tarps - these will help you get out
of the area with less risk of injury. Wet handkerchief or clothes over your nose will
also help cut down the smoke intake.
