  1. FIRE assembled by Herb Krelle Supplementary resources collected from the World Wide Web thanks to the many providers.

  2. The Fire Triangle In order to understand how fire extinguishers work, you first need to know a little bit about fire.

  3. The Fire Triangle In order to understand how fire extinguishers work, you first need to know a little bit about fire. Fire is a chemical reaction involving rapid oxidation (burning) of a fuel.

  4. The Fire Triangle Four things must be present at the same time in order to produce fire:

  5. FUEL - any combustible material - solid, liquid or gas. Most solids and liquids must vaporize before they will burn. The Fire Triangle

  6. FUEL - any combustible material - solid, liquid or gas. Most solids and liquids must vaporize before they will burn. OXYGEN - Sufficient oxygen must be present in the atmosphere surrounding the fuel for fire to burn. The Fire Triangle

  7. FUEL - any combustible material - solid, liquid or gas. Most solids and liquids must vaporize before they will burn. OXYGEN - Sufficient oxygen must be present in the atmosphere surrounding the fuel for fire to burn. HEAT- Sufficient heat energy must be applied to raise the fuel to it's ignition temperature The Fire Triangle

  8. FUEL - any combustible material - solid, liquid or gas. Most solids and liquids must vaporize before they will burn. • OXYGEN - Sufficient oxygen must be present in the atmosphere surrounding the fuel for fire to burn. • HEAT- Sufficient heat energy must be applied to raise the fuel to it's ignition temperature • Chemical, exothermic reaction - This reaction can occur when all three of the above elements are present in the proper conditions and proportions. Fire (rapid oxidisation) is the result of this chemical reaction. The Fire Triangle

  10. FUEL- any combustible material - solid, liquid or gas. Most solids and liquids must vaporize before they will burn. • OXYGEN- Sufficient oxygen must be present in the atmosphere surrounding the fuel for fire to burn. • HEAT- Sufficient heat energy must be applied to raise the fuel to it's ignition temperature • Chemical, exothermic reaction- This reaction can occur when all three of the above elements are present in the proper conditions and proportions. Fire (rapid oxidisation) is the result of this chemical reaction. The Fire Triangle Fire extinguishers put out fire by taking away one or more elements of the fire triangle/tetrahedron.

  11. Classes of fires Fires are categorized into classes according to the type of fuel or the dangers present.

  12. Class A Extinguishers will put out fires in ordinary combustibles, such as wood and paper. Class B Extinguishers should be used on fires involving flammable liquids, such as grease, gasoline, oil, etc. Class C Extinguishers should be used on fires involving flammable gas. Class D Extinguishers are designed for use on flammable metals and are often specific for the type of metal in question. Class E Extinguishers are suitable for use when electricity is present. Class F Extinguishers are suitable for cooking oils and fats. Classes of fires

  27. Hose reals are a familiar feature in public places. Hose reals should only be used when there is no other way out, the first option in any fire situation is to get out and call 000 Hose reels
