    lowering down the intensity of heat.
    10 PHASES OF FIRE OPERATION :

    1) PRE -FIRE PLANNING – To know the


    problem which may be encountered and what
    to do at the fire ground in case fire starts in a

    a) Nature of fire.
    b) Tools or equipment available.

    3) RESCUE – Removal of the victim/s from
    endangered area and bring to the
    place of safety.
    Looking for victim/s.
    Extrication of victims.

    windows placing fire streams directly
    to burning building.
    5) CONFINEMENT – To prevent the
    fire from extending to the other
    portion of the burning building
    ­ Involves protection of avenues
    of extension.

    UPWARD EXTENSION – Most rapid thru


    stairways, windows and air ducks.
    SIDEWARD – thru combustible partitions
    and doors.
    DOWNWARD – Slow thru combustible
    floors, stairways, and air ducks.
    06) VENTILATION- To displace
    hot smoke, poisonous and toxic
    gases from contaminated area and
    replacing fresh air from outside.
    a)Make an opening ( forced

    b) Use of fog streams.
    c) Always consider the wind direction.
    07) EXTINGUISHMENT – To put

    a) Locating the main body of fire.
    b) Proper use and techniques of applying fire
    streams.
