    This research paper evaluates the performance of an alternative fire extinguisher made from baking soda, water, vinegar, salt, and soap. The researchers aim to determine if this mixture is effective and convenient for extinguishing fires like a standard extinguisher. If proven effective, this alternative could benefit high-risk communities that cannot easily access fire vehicles. The study is focused on families in Iligan City and will cover how the vinegar and baking soda mixture works to extinguish fires.

    CHAPTER 1

      THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

    Background of the Study

    Fires are now rising heavily these past few years. Most of the Filipinos, especially

    those in the rural areas, constantly hear fire truck sirens from morning until midnight. The

    reasons of the possible rise of fire include: the materials of the houses built in Metro

    Manila are light and combustible, the incautious actions of people around flammable

    objects, the faulty wiring in our electrical appliances, and of course, the lack of fire

    extinguishers in our houses and buildings. According to Britannica(2017) , a fire

    extinguisher is a portable or movable apparatus used to put out a small fire by directing

    onto it a substance that cools the burning material, deprives the flame of oxygen, or

    interferes with the chemical reactions occurring in the flame. Unlike water itself, a fire

    extinguisher is a more effective tool in putting out a fire because it has certain chemicals

    that can not only put out house fires, but electrical and kitchen fires at the same time. In

    most buildings, specifically schools, offices, condominiums, and apartments, there are

    fire extinguishers in almost every area in the place; however, there are some places and

    instances where there are no fire extinguishers around. The lack of these canisters in

    some buildings can either be due to the minimum wage of some Filipino workers, due to

    our culture where it is not common to have a fire extinguisher at home, or due to the fact

    where it is not required by law to have one of these at home individually. The only

    problem is that what if there's suddenly a fire at home and a bucket of water is not

    enough to put it out? That is why in this research, the researchers plan to create an

    alternative mixture for a fire extinguisher that is entirely made out of baking soda

    (sodium bicarbonate), water (Dihydrogen Monoxide), vinegar (acetic acid), salt (sodium
    chloride), and soap (sodium hydroxide). This product is beneficial to all of the Filipinos,

    especially those who are living in the rural areas, because the materials used in this

    product are guaranteed to put out fire and at the same time, this only costs in an

    affordable price for all of the Filipino workers, even if they have minimum wage. This can

    stand against the fire extinguisher we have today because unlike the red canister, this

    product of theirs is made from reasonable priced materials and at the same time the

    materials given can put out a certain fire individually. In this chapter, the researchers will

    show the background of the study, statement of the problem, its significance, coverage,

    and outcome.

    Statement of the Problem

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of an alternative fire

    extinguisher. Will the substitute fire extinguisher solution, consisting of baking soda,

    water, vinegar, salt, and soap, be efficient in terms of:

    A. Effectiveness; and

    B. Convenience?

    Researchers must determine whether the components of the alternative

    combinations work well together and can quickly put out fires, similar to the standard fire

    extinguisher used today.


    Scope and Delimitations of the Study

    This study will cover the useful effect and advantages of vinegar mixed with baking

    soda as an alternative fire extinguisher. The consistency of this mixture will not be

    included in this study because it cannot be measured without a particular instrument.

    In this research, define to include the families who are living in Iligan City. The

    people who are at high risk of having a fire at home and those people who commonly

    have fires in their area.

    Significance of the Study

    The significance of this study is to have an alternative fire extinguisher that is easy

    to use and very affordable especially to those people who are commonly prone from fire.

    The Students. They will know how to properly make and generate the alternative fire

    extinguisher simply by discovering this study.

    The community. This study will be very beneficial to the communities who have a high

    risk in experiencing fire, peculiarly to those locations that will be challenging for fire

    vehicles to enter.

    The future researchers. This research will be helpful for them as it will serve as their

    reference if they plan to make any related study in making alternative mixture of fire

    extinguisher.
