1. Fire Definition:

• Fire is a chemical reaction between carbon and / or hydrogen and oxygen in


which heat and light energies are released.

• Three things are required before a fire can occur; they are fuel vapor or any
combustible material, oxygen and source of ignition. As soon as these three
things come together in proper proportions, fire starts immediately. This is
known as “FIRE TRIANGLE”.

• Elimination of at least one of the above three elements can control and
extinguish the fire. Most of the fires start from a small spark and most of them
are small in initial stage and may grow to any large size depending upon the
quantity of fuel or combustible material, if it is not controlled in time.

• Elimination of at least one of the above three elements is the principle of Fire
Extinguishing and control. In practical terms fire extinction can be achieved by

- Starvation or limitation of fuel :

If combustible substance is removed fire will cease e.g. stopping the supply of
fuel (close valves), transfer of fuel from burning tank etc.

- Smothering or limitation of oxygen :

If oxygen is removed or prevented from reaching the combustible substance


by blanketing or alternatively diluting by inter gas (CO2 & Nitrogen steam or
certain chemical compounds) the combustion will be slowed or stopped.
- Cooling or reducing the temperature :

The most common way to remove heat is by the use of water. Water absorbs
lot of heat specially while becoming steam and cools the fire.
• Fire extinguishing can also be achieved by interruption of the Chemical
reaction of combustion. This method is used by applying Dry. Chemicals
Powder and halogen gases (BCF – BTM etc.) to fires. Dry chemicals, powder
and halogen gases do not extinguish fires by the dilutions principle. The fact
that they interfere with the chemical combustion i.e. in the fire and not at
periphery.

2. Classification of Fire :

• CLASS “A” FIRE :


Fire involving ordinary combustible organic material like wood, paper, textiles
material, rubber, plastic etc.

• CLASS “B” FIRE :


Fire involving liquids or liquefiable solids like oil, diesel, varnishes, paints, etc.

• CLASS “C” FIRE :


Fire involving gases, all liquefied gases like Natural Gas, LPG, Acetylene,
Propane, etc.

• CLASS “D” FIRE :


Fire involving metals like magnesium, aluminum, potassium, sodium,
zirconium etc.

• ELECTRICAL FIRES :
Earlier fire involving live electrical equipments was known as class “E” fire.
But now, depending upon the material involved in electrical fire it is classified
as ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ class of fire. For example, fire of electrical cable. In this fire,
insulation material like PVC is involved in the fire, so it can be classified as
class ‘A’ fire.
Type of Fire Protection System:

• Primary fire fighting system.


• Secondary fire fighting system.
• Automatic fire fighting system.

3. Primary Fire Fighting System :

It is that which can be used by one or two persons immediately after a fire.
This can be more useful and effective when the fire is in its incipient stage.
They are
- Fire bucket with sand or water.
- Asbestos fire blanket.
- Fire extinguishers.
- Hose rill.

Type of fire extinguisher :


Five types of fire extinguisher are there.
a) Water type.
b) Foam type.
c) DCP type.
d) Carbon Dioxide type.
e) Halon type.

Considering our dealing with Natural gas, DCP type & CO2 type of fire extinguishers
are available in our company. They are placed at ARS Platform, A/C plant and at
each floor of ADM building. A list showing the details of fire extinguisher and its
location is kept in Control Room. CO2 types of fire extinguishers are suitable for fire
involving live electrical equipment, control panel and computer. Hence in our control
room, IT, DG room, and at each wing / floor, CO2 type of fire extinguishers are
placed. A DCP type of fire extinguishers is suitable for class ‘B’ & ‘C’ fire and it can
control class ‘A’ fire also.
4. DCP (Dry Chemical Powder) Type :

Use:

These are most effective fire extinguisher on flammable liquid, gas and electrical
equipment fires. It can also be used for class ‘A’ small localized fire involving solid
combustible material.

Construction:

Powder is contained in main shell and CO2 gas is held under high pressure in a
sealed cartridge.

Method of operation:

o Take the extinguisher to the site of fire and remove safety clip / pin.
o Keep the position at upwind direction. If not possible,
o Keep the position perpendicular to wind direction.
o Firmly hold the discharge nozzle.
o Strike the jet with sweeping action on the base of flame, in such a way that
the whole flame gets enveloped with the powder cloud.
Disadvantages:

It leaves residue after extinguishment which may damage the sophisticated


equipments / items. Hence, wherever possible it should not be used on a fire
involving computers, electrical panel, etc.

5. Carbon Dioxide Type :

Construction:

CO2 is stored under pressure in liquid form to a pressure upto 60 KG / CM2 in a


cylinder.
Method of operation:

o Carry the extinguisher to the place of fire and remove the safety pin from
valve.
o Take the position at upwind direction and if not possible, take the position,
perpendicular to wind direction.
o Properly hold the discharge horn and open the valve.
o The gas at the time of discharge makes considerable noise. The user should
therefore be well known with its operation to prevent the jet from being
misdirected during the first few vital seconds.

Advantages:

It leaves no residue after extinguishment hence they are very suitable for
sophisticated instruments, equipments.

Non – Conductor of electricity hence suitable for electrical fire and confined space
fires.

Disadvantage:

Less effective in open atmosphere fire.


6. Secondary Fire Fighting System :

This system can be operated by a crew or a group of men. They are:

™ Mobile fire tender.


™ Fire hydrant system.

A well arranged and efficient, Fire Hydrant System is a must for any factory, plant or
office building to contain fire in case of big fire which could not be curbed with
primary firefighting equipment like fire extinguisher, sand etc. Fire Hydrant piping are
laid generally around the plants or offices with risers upto the top floor. On these
piping, tapping valves are provided at key locations with fire water hoses.

The capacity of the fire water pump is to be selected as per the height of the
buildings and the areas to be covered. The pressure of the water should be such that
it would be possible to handle the fire hose with nozzle safely by a trained operator.
It is safe to keep the fire water pressure between 6 to 7 Kg/cm2.

The fire water pump should have alternate sources of power, so that it could be
operated even in absence of main power supply. For this the fire water pump are
normally connected with a D.G. set. The pump operating switches are to be placed
at key locations for immediate operations in case of fire.

Fire Hydrant Pipeline can be kept pressurized with water by auto operated pumps
using pressure switches, so that the pump will start automatically if the water
pressure in the pipeline goes below a set pressure. The advantage is that, in case of
fire it would not require to start the pump: instead the valves to be opened for
firefighting.
Fire Hydrant system essentially consist of following:
⇒ Water storage (fire water Sump).
⇒ Water Pumps.
⇒ Network of Underground / Above Ground Piping.
⇒ Hydrant valves and its stand posts.
⇒ Hose pipes with Hose Boxes.
⇒ Breach pipes with Nozzle.

7. In case of Fire on Gas Network :

• In case of small fire, put off fire by using DCP / CO2 type fire extinguishers as
appropriate.
• If the fire is on gas network, affected section can be isolated.
• Cordon the affected area and evacuate the area quickly
• Always first slowly isolate upstream isolation valve, allow gas of pipeline to burn
and then when flame is very low or extinguished, isolate downstream valve
• Never extinguish the fire on gas network, if it is not affected the surrounding area.
Allow cooling of surrounding area using water. Note that raw gas is more danger
then fire as it can accumulate in houses / premises and can explode when get the
spark.
• In case of big fire / possibility of abnormal situation, decision to be taken for plant
shutdown in consultation with Main In charge and evacuate the premises, area in
the vicinity as appropriate. Inform GSPC Gas for the same.
• Call the fire brigade, if required.
• Personnel without any specific duties should assemble at the nominated place.
• Arrange for medical treatment in case of injury.
• Arrange to inform customer about stoppage / alternative arrangement for
refueling.
8. Fire In Premises / Office :

• As soon as a fire is seen in our premises or office, break the glass of manual
call point (MCP), that will give fire alarm in control room & security office. OR
As soon as a fire is seen in our premises or office, immediately inform to
Control Room in – charge or Safety Department to take action.

• Information should be short, simple and effective.

• He should start with :

- His name and that he is speaking from.


- Location of fire.
- Material involved in fire.
- Request to take urgent action.

• Immediately isolate electrical supply of area near to fire.

• Use portable fire extinguisher depending upon the material involved in the fire.

• Do not use DCP type fire extinguisher on computer fire, use co2 type of fire
extinguisher in this case.

• Follow all instruction of fire warden or office in charge.

• In case of big fire immediately ring the Fire Brigade – 101.


9. General Guidelines For Emergency :

ƒ Do not get panicky.


ƒ Do not spread non – authentic information.
ƒ Do not approach a scene as a spectator.
ƒ Do not engage communication channels like Telephone, Wireless.

1. General Principles

• First Aid is the immediate treatment given to the victim of an accident or sudden
illness. Before medical help is obtained.
• The five main conditions likely to be met which can kill are:

1. Asphyxia.
2. Heart Stoppage.
3. Bleeding
4. Shock
5. Unconsciousness.

• The Aim of First Aid is

1. To preserve life.
2. To promote recovery
3. To prevent worsening of the casualty’s condition.
4. Arrange transportation to hospital. ( If necessary)

First aid is base on scientific medicine and surgery: it is skilled assistance. But the
first aider is not a doctor. After the doctor takes charge the first aider’s responsibility
ends. He can then stand by to help the doctor.

Rates of the first aider:

Be: Calm and confident.


Try to: Compose and comfort casualty.
Decide: Correct action and do it in correct order.
2. Sequence of Action On Arrival At Scene :

• Assess.
• Diagnose.
• Treatment.
• Evaluate.
• Organization and control.
• Disposal

Assess the situation:

Is it safe to approach the casualty?

Determine need to Remove casualty from danger.


Remove danger from casualty.
Is the casualty trapped?

Assess the casualty:

Determine priorities of life support- make a rapid examination.

• Is the casualty conscious of unconscious?


• If unconscious, check:
Air way.
Breathing.
Circulation.
• Look for serious bleeding.
• Give immediate treatment if required.
Assess casualty more full:

• Obtain history: From casualty if possible.


From witness.
• Physical examination From specific to general.
• Physical examination If casualty unconscious.
• Evaluate vital signs: Adult, Child, Infant
Pulse ( Normal ) 60-80 80-100 100-140
(Beats per minute.)
Respiration (Normal) 10-20 20-30 30-40
(Beats per minute)
• Conscious levels Oriented to time, place, person
Use of stimuli-response to pain.
Movement of limbs – voluntary of
involuntary.
• Skin signs colour, temperature, rash, wound

Assess pain if present

P Provokes What makes pain worse ?


Q Quality What does it feel like?
R Radiation Where does it spread to?
S Severity On a scale of 1-5, how painful?
(relate to previous experience of pain)?
T Time When did it star? How long did it last?
Diagnosis:
Determine casualties problems Use all senses
Interpret data
Plan care
Treatment:
• Determine priority order.
• Specific treatment of injury / Illness.
• General supportive measures.
• General handling.
• Do not remove more clothing than is necessary.
• Determining factors for giving fluids by mouth
• Reassurance.
• Determine need for medical help.
• Protect casualty at all times

Evaluation of Treatment:
Ongoing assessment: Vital signs
General conditions
Improvement
Deterioration
Results of treatment

Organization and control:


• Casualty.
• Use of bystanders.
• Equipment / materials.
• Protection of scene of accident.
• Improvisation.
• Care of valuables belongings.
Communication and reporting:

• Summoning help- points to note Number of casualties


Number of injuries.
What help required.
Scene: Place.
Time of accident.
Give a telephone number if possible.
• Verbal / written
• Recording information Assessment.
Treatment.
Effect of treatment.

Disposal transportation

The earlier the doctor takes charge the greater the chances or recovery.
First take the casualty ot the nearest shelter. The best, of course, is the hospital. Or
it can be his house or the nearest clinic. The quickest means of transport should be
made use of A carefully worded message to the relatives, as to his condition and
also to what place he is being taken, must be sent. Someone in the crowd will
generally help in this. It is of course the duty of police and they are most reliable.
3. Rules of First Aid:

• The best advice to the first aider is “Make Hake slowly”.


• Reach the accident spot quickly. These will help to save life.
• Be calm, methodical and quick. By doing so you can lessen the pain and the
effects of the injuries which may save life. Handling the casualty clumsily will
only make the final recovery difficult.
• Look for the following.
- Is there failure of breathing?
- Is there severe bleeding?
- Is the shock light or servers?
- Attend to these and then treat easily observable injuries.
- Start artificial respiration, if the casualty is not breathing, it must be begin
at once as every second gained is helpful.
- Stop bleeding by pressing on the pressure point and press firmly on the
bleeding area with a pad, and keep up pressure on the bleeding area for at
least a few minutes (minimum 3 minutes) by watch. Take help, if needed.
- Treat for shock.
- Avoid handling the casualty unnecessarily.

• Use the first aid equipment, if available:


• Inspect the area. Take the casualty away from live wires, fallen walls beams,
fire, broken gas chambers, moving machinery etc… to a safer place.
• Clear the crowd with nice words. Do not allow people to crowd around the
casualty. The casualty needs fresh air. If a doctor is present. He will guide you
any other first aider must be asked to help. If otherwise take the assistance of
bystanders giving them correct instructions.
4. First Aid for Wound & Bleeding

Put on gloves. Remember not to put your unclean hands on to wound.


Clean wound if dirty with sterilized cotton, wound is slight and blood is well controlled
then, put the affected part under running tap water & clean surrounding skin

If bleeding is below elbow or the knee it can be stopped by bending the limb at the
joint.

Apply direct pressure to the wound in direct pressure points. 1 Brahial Hand 2.
Fermoral-leg

If bleeding is more, then lie the victim down and raise his legs and put that part
above heart.

Bleeding from scalp can be controlled by compressing in front of ear with thumb and
with four fingers behind the ear or direct pressure on the wound with clean dressing
gauges.
Get the medical help urgently

Application of dressing
If injury is on limb, raise the limb above hand level
If seepage occurs, apply 2nd dressing on the top of it without removing first one.
Do not remove foreign body from deep wounds it may precipitate heavy bleeding
Advise the casualty to see a doctor if there is a special risk of infection for example
the wound was caused by an animal bite.
Seek medical aid
5. First Aid for Inhaled Natural Gas / Gas Poisoning

Move away from the leakage area and take him to fresh air
Go in upwind direction of air
Loosen the clothes around neck and chest
Use extreme caution if victim is in enclosed space or a low point in the ground. Do
not put your life in danger.
Be as low as possible on the ground
Cover your face by wet cloth during movement
Seek medical aid

6. First Aid for Fire on Cloths

Stop victim panicking or running, any movement or breeze. It will further spread the
fire
Drop the victim to the ground and ask him to roll / turn on ground with pressure
which will extinguish fire on cloth
If possible wrap the victim tightly in a blanket or curtain preferable of wool or cotton.
Do not use nylon curtain or cloths
Roll the casualty along the ground until the flames have been smothered
Seek medical aid

7. First Aid for Burn


Take the victim below water shower and keep him below clean cool water for at least
15 minutes.
In case of burn on part of body, allow free flow of clean cool water on the burnt part
of body at least for 15 minuets
If possible keep ice on burnt part. Please do allow to rub with pressure.
Do not use lotions, creams or adhesive dressing
Do not break the blisters. Seek medical aid

Make him seat in the chair
Instruct him not to rub the eye
Wait for some times as the foreign body may be washed out by tears
Wash the eye in an eye-cup full of water by opening & closing the eyelid in the water
Do not attempt to remove foreign body lodged in the eyeball, especially on the
cornea.
Seek medical aid

9. Foreign Body in Ear

Put the warm oil in the ear to float out an insect


Do not attempt to remove any other form of foreign body as the tympanic membrane
may be damaged during such attempts.
Do not attempt to remove it with a pin or a hook
Seek medical aid

10. First Aid for Snake / Scorpion Bite

Immobilize the affected part and keep it below the heart level.

3.27 Self Air Breathing Apparatus

Self-Contained breathing apparatus :

Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is respiratory equipment, regarded as


emergency equipment. When a man must work in an atmosphere of high
concentrations of poisonous gases and atmosphere deficient from the source of
fresh air, the self contained breathing apparatus must be used.

In an environment that contains substance which is dangerously irritant, corrosive or


has contained, breathing apparatus must be supplemented by impervious clothing.

To meet such eventuality, the following type of apparatus is available.

Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus (20 to 45 minutes type):

It is an open circuit apparatus and consists of a high pressure cylinder of air, with
cylinder valves, a demand regulator, pressure gauge, and face-piece with tube
assembly along with inhalation and exhalation valves. In use, the wearer opens the
cylinder valve, after carefully putting on the face piece. This type of apparatus does
not provide positive pressure at the face piece and therefore, perfect fitting of face
piece is important to prevent inward leakage of surrounding noxious atmosphere.

The apparatus offers protection for 20 to 45 minutes of time (depending upon the
capacity of cylinder) by providing a portable air supply. The wearer of a self-
contained breathing apparatus is independent of the surrounding atmosphere;
therefore, this kind of respiratory protective equipment must be used in environments
where air contaminants are immediately harmful to the life. This equipment is
normally used for urgent job of short duration like, closing of gas isolation valve in
gas rich atmosphere, rescue work and in firefighting. Because of the extreme
hazard, no one wearing self-contained breathing apparatus should work in an
oxygen-deficient atmosphere, unless other people similarly equipped are standing
by, ready to give help.
To ensure the ever readiness of the apparatus, a procedure should be established
for regular inspection, weather protection security and prevention of tempering by
employees. The inspection should cover checking, mainly the air pressure and
condition of all parts.

Regular training should be arranged for the concerned employees. The training
should cover theory, by class room training and practical training in field by
simulating the emergency job scenario. The cylinder should be refilled immediately,
after use for emergency handling or training purpose.

Note:-

While using self contained compressed air breathing apparatus, it is most important
that user must withdraw when gets exhausted. The user should occasionally check
the pressure gauges to see the pressure of the gas in the cylinder, there is a warning
bell too. The user should ensure that during emergency handling, the cylinder valve
does not get closed due to coming in physical contact with piping, equipment.
3.28 Maintenance Van

General Information :

For handling emergency calls and carrying out various planned operation and
maintenance activities, of the city gas distribution system, availability of well
equipped vehicle called normally as maintenance van is very important.

Standard reasonable load carrying vehicle, with open truck type body and good
maneuverability is converted into maintenance van, after building customized body
for storage and security of various tools tackles, pipes and fittings, fire extinguishers
etc. generally required for handling gas leak / escape emergencies and routine and
break down maintenance of network and installations, from city gate station to
customer connections, located near and far.

For highlighting the company identity, the van is painted with company logo, name,
and contact telephone numbers in special color and pictures, beautifying it with
aesthetic look.

Maintenance van is also fitted with public announcement system and wireless
equipment. The public announcement system is required for making announcement
for stoppage and resumption of gas supply, during pipe line damage / gas escape, or
equipment failure and for festival safety. The VHF wireless equipment is for contact
with control room from remote areas.

As stated above, ever readiness of maintenance van with all required items is very
important, and hence should be operated and maintained with utmost care. The van
should be used only for intended purpose. Ensure diving of the van with lawful and
traffic safety, taking care of the damaging bumps on the road. The regular checks
and inspection procedure should be established, assigning responsibility to particular
shift engineer. The vehicle should be checked daily in the morning, as per the check
list, having checks for, tire pressure, engine oil, fuel level, other abnormalities like
over temperature, vibration, noise etc. including announcement and wireless system.
The vehicle should be regularly serviced in a good equipped garage. Similarly the
tools tackles should be checked every month end to ensure the availability and
working condition of each item. The effective material reconciliation procedure and
check list should be prepared to ensure the availability of pipes and fittings and
replacements for the consumed pipes and fittings. The replacement for the use / lost
items should be done immediately otherwise there are chances of forgetting the
replacement. The fire extinguisher and pressure gauges, torches, stored in the van,
should be periodical checked and calibrated for their working. For overall security of
all items, the van should always be locked and guarded, when not in use.

At site van should be parked at safe and secured place, keeping watch. Take out the
required items only, do not remove / take out unwanted items, from the van. Return
back the items in van immediately after completion of job. Ensure that all items are
collected and returned back in the van to their respective place, after repeatedly
looking outside, here and there.
