1.To have a division of labor.
2.To build up better teamwork

-Is the active principle of burning


characterized by the heat and
light of combustion.
-Is a chemical reaction that takes
place between fuel, heat
and oxygen in the form of light and
noticeable heat.
- It is an oxidation taking place with
a rate rapid enough to produce heat
and light.

ELEMENTS OF FIRE
A. Form of energy that raises temperature, measured in
degrees to signify its intensity.
B. Solid or liquid remain in their respective conditions
until
their temperature are raised to a point where fuel vapors
are given off.
A. Any material that is capable of producing vapors and burns.
B. There are three (3) kinds of fuel: Solid, liquid and gaseous
fuels.
A. All substance need oxygen to burn.
B. Twenty one percent (21%) of our atmosphere is composed
of Oxygen.

The Fire Tetrahedron

Fires are classified according to type of material which is


involved in the fire.

Fires involving ordinary combustible material.


example: wood, paper, cloth, plastics, rubber

Fires involving flammable liquids


example: gasoline, kerosene, all petroleum products
Fires involving energized electrical equipment
example: electric motor, flat iron
Fires involving ordinary combustible metals.
example: magnesium, potassium, zinc, sodium,
titanium

-Initiate heat, convection took place (air rises as they become heated)

-Accumulate heat. After convection, the heated gas spread laterally


from the top downward, forcing the cooler air to seek lower level.
NOTE: Sufficient supply of oxygen/air will cause rapid burning.

-The temperature throughout is very hot.


-Sufficient supply of oxygen/air will cause back draft.

Heat tends to move


from a hot substance
to a cold substance.

Bringing of manpower, tools

extinguishment.

1.Pre-fire planning- to know and to prepare on


what to do in case fire occurs in particular area,
building or structure
2. Size- up- an estimate of the situation to the fire
scene
3. Rescue- bringing of person from place of danger
to a safer place.
4. Cover Exposure- preventing the fire to extend
to an adjacent building or structure

Wind direction

5. Confinement- preventing the fire to extend to an


adjacent room

6. Ventilation- making holes, either horizontally or


vertically for free circulation of air

7. Extinguishment- the actual fighting or combating the


fire

8. Salvage- removal of things with value to prevent from


burning and water damage

9. Overhauling-completely extinguishing the small and


hidden fire to prevent rekindling.

10. Post-fire analysis- a critic to the operation done to


the fire scene

THE FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT THEORY


The principles of fire extinction consist of
the elimination or removal of one or more of
the four elements. These principles are:
COOLING
By

using Water as it
absorbs heat from the
fire and cools the fuel
to a temperature where
it no longer produces
flammable vapors.
SMOTHERING
By excluding the
oxygen in the
surrounding
atmosphere, the
fire will be
extinguished.

STARVATION
By

removal of the fuel burning in


the fire. Sometimes combustible
material can be removed such as
by shutting off gas valves or fuel
flows.
CHEMICAL FLAME
INHIBITION
By using extinguishing
agent like DRY
