What is It
FIRE HAZARDS
Characteristics of Fire
• Fire is a living, breathing process that is commonly referred to as the
process of combustion. Combustion is the self-sustaining process of
rapid oxidation of a fuel, which produces light and heat.
• Fire is the result of this rapid combustion reaction. Fire needs 3 items
to survive and sustain combustion: fuel, heat and oxygen. These
three things combined create the chemical chain reaction that causes
combustion; the result is fire. Remove any 1 of these three items and
the chain of combustion is broken and the fire is extinguished.
• Removal of Fuel example: Turning the source off (natural gas) from a
BBQ fire will cease the fire.
• Removal of Heat example: Turning the element off on a stove with a
pot of grease on it will decrease the extent of the fire and if given time
will extinguish itself.
• Removal of Oxygen example: Putting a lid on the same pot of grease
will smother the fire and remove the oxygen, thus extinguishing the fire.
