6.0 FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT AND SELECTION

Al Fanary Est. has on obligation to provide and maintain adequate, easily accessible fire
extinguisher on the job site should consult with the Royal Commission Fire Protection Dept. for
advice on selection of such equipment.
There are three types of fire extinguisher normally found on construction sites: water, carbon
dioxide and dry chemical types. Contractor personnel should be aware of the firefighting
equipment available on site and be familiar with its use.

6.1) Potable Water Equipment


Since most fires at construction sites involved Class "A" materials, they can be fought
with water. Charged water hoses, ready for use, are a necessity. If there is no permanent
system installed at a particular location, a water tanker and portablewater extinguisher
will have to be supplied in order to take care of any Class "A" fires.

6.2) Foam Extinguisher


A firefighting foam is simply stable mass of small air-filled bubbles, which have a
lower densitythan oil, gasoline or water. Foam is made up of three ingredients - water,
foam concentrate and air. When mixed in the correct proportions, these three
ingredients form a homogeneous foam blanket.
Most foam fire extinguisher are used for the same or similar purposes, that is
extinguigher Class A and B fires, so it is not necessary to know the different types.
There are sublte differences in chemical composition between foam fire extinguisher,
however and these are denoted by a code on the side of the canister. Aqueous film
forming foam (AFFF) is the most commonly used type of foam fire extinguisher.
Alcohol-resistant aqueous film forming foams (AR-AFFF) are specially designed for
fires started by alcohol. Film forming fluoroprotein (FFF) contains naturally occurring
animal proteins in the foam and can cope with higher temperatures. The compressed air
foam system (CAFS) is used to fight forest fires, and arctic fire, as mentioned, is
designed to fight industrial Class D fires.

6.3) Carbon Dioxide Type Extinguisher


The carbon dioxide (CO2) type extinguisher is normally used for controlling electrical
fires. These fires take place in motors, switch-gear and so forth and are usually very
easily controlled by de-energizing the circuits that suppply the power. The advantage of

using CO2 in this particular instance is that it leaves no residue in the mechanisms of the
electrical equipment and therefore does not further to the damage.
6.3.1 CAUTION
A CO2 extinguisher should never be used in enclosed areas where people are
present, because the gas displaces oxygen from the immediate environment.
When the oxygen level in the environment is reduced sufficiently to put out a
fire, the oxygen level is also incapable supporting human life.

6.4) Powder Fire Extinguisher


A powder chemical type extinguisher is normally used in controlling Class “A”, “B”
and “C” fires. This multipurpose ABC powder given this particular fire extinguisher a
good chance of controlling any type of fire involving a wood, a petroleum liquid or
electrical equipment.

6.5) How to Operate Fire Extinguisher


THE FIRE TRIANGLE
In order to understand how fire extinguisher work, we first need to know a little bit
about fire.
Four things must be present at the same time in order to produce fire:
1. Enough oxygen to sustain combustionl
2. Enough heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature
3. Some sort of fuel or combustible material and
4. The chemical, exothermic reaction that is fire.

Oxygen, heat and fuel are frequently referred to as the “fire triangle”. Add in the fourth
element, the chemical reaction, and you actully have a fire “tetrahdron”. The important thing is
to remember is: take any of these four things away, and you will not have a fire or the fire
will be extinguished. Essentially, fire extinguisher put out fire by taking away one or more
elements of the fire triangle/tetrahedron.
Fire safety, at its most basic, is based upon the principal of keeping fuel sources and ignition
sources separate. It’s easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher if you can remember the
acronym PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep.
1. Pull the pin.
This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher.
2. Aim at the base of the fire.
If you aim the at the flames (which is frequently the temptation), the extinguishing
agent will fly right through and do no good. You want to hit the fuel.
3. Squeeze the top handle or lever.
This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent in the
extinguisher.
4. Sweep from side to side
Until the fire is completely out. Start using the extinguisher from a safe distance away,
then move forward. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it re-ignites.

Note: Not all fires are the same and they are classified according to the type of fuel that is burning. If
you use the wrong type of fire extinguisher on the wrong class of fire, you can, in fact, make matterrs
worse. It is therefore very important to understand the four different fire classifications.
Class A- Wood, paper, cloth, trash, plastics
Solid combustible materials that are not metals. (Class A fire generally leaves an ash).
Class B- Flammable liquids: gasoline, oil, grease, acetone
Any non-metal in a liquid state, on fire. This classification also includes flammable
gases. (Class B fire generally involve materials that Boil or Bubble).
Cass C- Electrical: energized electrical equipment
As long as it’s “plugged in”, it would be considered a class C fire. (Class C fire
generally deal with electrical current)

Cass D- Metals: potassium, sodium, aluminum, magnesium


Unless you work in a laboratory or in an industry that uses these materials, it is unlikely
you will have to deal with a class D fire. It takes special extinguishing to fight such a
fire.

6.6) End-of-Shift Checks


A routine inspection shall be made at the end of the working day to see that everything
is left in a safe condition. The following itemized checklist shall be followed:
 Clean up and removal of rubbish and waste materials.
 Switch off electrical equipment at the mains. Separate circuits should be provided
for security lights and other equipment that has to be left turned on.
 Cover valuable equipment to protect it against dirt and against the effects of water
that might be used in an emergency.
 Make a special check of smoking areas, hot equipment, welding areas etc. to be
sure there is no possibility of delayed ignition resulting in a fire.
 Return flammable liquids and gas cylinders to designated storage areas.

7.0 EVACUATION AND FIRE PROCEDURE
