    FIRE PREVENTION AND SAFETY

    PROCEDURES
    What is FIRE?
    Fire is the visible effect of the process of combustion – a
    special type of chemical reaction. It occurs between oxygen in
    the air and some sort of fuel. The products from the chemical
    reaction are completely different from the starting material.
    Types of Fire
    Class A
    Class A fires are fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper,
    cloth, rubber, and many plastics.

    Class B
    Class B fires are fires in flammable liquids such as gasoline, petroleum
    greases, tars, oils, oil-based paints, solvents, alcohols. Class B fires also
    include flammable gases such as propane and butane. Class B fires do not
    include fires involving cooking oils and grease.

    Class C
    Class C fires are fires involving energized electical equipment such
    as computers, servers, motors, transformers, and appliances.
    Remove the power and the Class C fire becomes one of the other
    classes of fire.
    Types of Fire
    Class D
    Class D fires are fires in combustible metals such as magnesium,
    titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium, and potassium.

    Class K
    Class K fires are fires in cooking oils and greases such
    as animal and vegetable fats.
    EQUIPMENTS USED
    IN DEALING WITH
    FIRE
    FIRE EXTINGUISHER

    A fire extinguisher is
    an active fire
    protection device
    used to extinguish or
    control small fires,
    often in emergency
    situations.
    TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
    How to operate a fire extinguisher
    The acronym PASS is used to describe these four basic steps.
    1. Pull (Pin)
    Pull pin at the top of the extinguisher, breaking the seal.
    2. Aim
    Approach the fire standing at a safe distance. Aim the nozzle
    or outlet towards the base of the fire.
    3. Squeeze
    Squeeze the handles together to discharge the extinguishing
    agent inside. To stop discharge, release the handles.
    4. Sweep
    Sweep the nozzle from side to side as you approach the fire,
    directing the extinguishing agent at the base of the flames.
    FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
    • A fire alarm system has a number of devices working
    together to detect and warn people through visual
    and audio appliances when smoke, fire, carbon
    monoxide or other emergencies are present. 

    •  These alarms may be


    activated automatically
    from smoke detectors,
    and heat detectors or may
    also be activated via manual
    fire alarm activation devices
    such as manual call points or
    pull stations.
