Fire is a chemical reaction that requires heat, fuel, and oxygen. There are various ways fires can spread through convection, conduction, and radiation. Fires are classified based on the type of fuel as Class A (solid fuels), Class B (liquid fuels), Class C (gas fuels), Class D (metal fires), and Class E (electrical fires). Fires can be extinguished through starvation, smothering, or cooling. Different types of fire extinguishers include water, powder, foam, and CO2 extinguishers. Personal protective equipment is required for fire safety training and responding to fires.
1. What is Fire
Fire is a chemical reaction among
heat, fuel and oxygen with
considering of flash point.
2. What is Fire Training
• It is a training process to know to
know how to fight against fire
hazards in house or industries.
3. What are the Ways of
Fire Spread
• Convection: Transmission of heat with
liquid / gas.
• Conduction: Transmission of heat through
materials.
• Radiation: Transmission of heat by waves
traveling.
• Direct Burning: Direct Ignition
4. Classification of Fire
There are two types of fire
• Class A Fire: Generate from solid
substances like paper , wood, clothes
etc
• Class B Fire : Generate from liquids
like oil, grease, paint etc
5. Classification of Fire
• Class D Fire : Metal fires like sodium,
potassium etc
• Class E Fire : Fire from electrical
equipments
6. How to Extinguish Fire
• Starvation : Removal of Fuel
• Smothering: Removal of Oxygen
• Cooling : Removal of Heat
8. Water Type Extinguisher
A ring or pin on the handle stops the fire
extinguisher from being set off by accident. It
also acts as a tamper-proof seal: if the ring is
broken or missing, you know the extinguisher
needs to be checked.
Inside the sturdy steel case, there's a canister
containing high- pressure gas (orange with blue
hashing).
Most of the extinguisher is filled with water
(blue).
A tube runs right up the inside of the tube to a
nozzle outside (gray).
The nozzle often ends in a piece of bendy plastic
so you can easily
• direct it toward the base of a fire.
To operate the extinguisher, you pull the ring and
press the handle.
Pressing the handle opens a valve (shown here
as a green arrow) that releases the pressurized
gas from the canister.
The gas immediately expands and fills the inside
of the
• extinguisher, pushing the water downward
As the water is pushed down, it rises up the tube
A jet of water emerges from the nozzle.
12. CO2 Extinguisher
These consist basically of a pressure
cylinder with a valve for releasing the
gas and a discharge horn. The gas is
maintained in liquid form at a
pressure of 50 bars (750 psi).
The discharge horn allows the gas to
expand at a ratio of 450:1 and when it
is directed into the fire, prevents air
from being pulled along entrainment
by reducing the velocity of gas.
The average discharge time is 16 – 30
seconds.
13. Advantages
• Rapid in action, independent of atmospheric
temperature.
• It is an inert gas which quickly disperses,
leaving no trace.
• It is a non-conductor of electricity.
• Can be used in the incipient (first)
stage of highly flammable liquid
fires.
• Penetrates inaccessible places
14. Disadvantages
i. The total weight in relation to the contents is
considerable
ii. There is no visible way to check the contents
16. What is PPE?
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
It is refers to protective clothing, helmets,
goggles, or other garments or equipment
designed to protect the wearer's body
from injury or infection. The hazards
addressed by protective equipment
include physical, electrical, heat,
chemicals, biohazards, and airborne
particulate matter.
17. Safety Gadgets
• CCTV Cameras :
For surveillance of movement/footages
of incidents and accidents
• SMOKE DETECTOR :
Is used to detect the smoke and alarm
goes on
19. Safety Gadgets
• FIRE ALARM PANEL BOARD :
To monitor breakup of fire and
know the exact location of fire
20. Safety Gadgets
Fire sprinkler system
A fire sprinkler system is an active fire
protection measure, consisting of water
supply system, providing adequate
pressure and flow rate to a water
distribution piping system, A glass bulb
type sprinkler head will spray water into
the room if sufficient heat reaches the
bulb and causes it to shatter. Sprinkler
heads operate individually. Note the red
liquid alcohol in the glass bulb.
32. Fire Prevention Methods
Keep heating equipment in safe place- eg.
Soldering iron on proper stand, switch off the
solder when not in use, even for short periods
33. Fire Prevention Methods
• Do not store combustible
material close to electrical wiring
• Switch off the electrical lights
and appliances during silent
hours
• Have the main electrical switch
outside the godown/
warehouse/ stores
37. Portable Fire
Extinguishers
The Right Equipment
for the Job
Combustible Solids : Water CO2
Spilled Flammable Liquids : Foam, DCP,
CO2
Contained Flammable Liquids :
Foam
Flammable Gases/
Vapors : CO2, DCP
Electrical Equipment : CO2, DCP,
Water after
switching
off
48. Crawling on Smoke
• In case of Fire there will be enormous smoke
which will fade our vision , to over come that
we have to crawl down to save our life . Always
remember Fire kills slowly but …. “Smoke will
kill Immediately & Instantly”
51. Assembly Point at Our Hospital
• Car parking are in front of time
office.
• Two wheeler parking in between “A”
& “B” block.
• Near out gate.
• In front of OP Pharmacy in ground
floor.
