FIRE CHEMISTERY

DEFINITION OF FIRE :-COMBUSTION REACTION WITH EVOLUTION OF HEAT AND FLAME

FIRE = FLAMMABLE VAPOUR OR GAS+ AIR IN CORRECT PROPORTION + SOURSE OF IGNITION + UNINHIBITED CHAIN REACTION

FIRE CHEMISTERY
FIRE TRIANGLE
Fuel

FUEL: VAPOUR STAGE AIR: FUEL+AIR MIXTURE(PROPER PROPORTION) HEAT: NAKED OR EXCESS TEM.

FIRE IS A CHEMICAL REACTION

FUEL + O2

Heat

CO2 + CO

GROWTH OF FIRE
INCIPIENT STAGE - NO VISIBLE SMOKE SMOKING STAGE- VISIBLE SMOKE FLAME STAGE FLAMESTARTS,SMOKE INCREASES HEAT STAGEUNCONTROLELABLE HEAT, LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE ETC.

CLASSES OF FIRE

FIRE INVOLVING ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS SUCH AS *PAPER, *WOOD, *PLASTICS ETC.

FIRE INVOLVING * OIL

*
*

PETROLEUM
SOLVENTS

*
*

GREASE
PAINTS

FIRE INVOLVING

L.P.G

*
*

D.A
GASEOUS SUBSTANCE UNDER PRESSURE

FIRE INVOLVING

SODIUM

*
*

POTASSIUM
FLAMMABLE METALS

ELECTRICAL FIRES ARE COMING UNDER DIFFERENT GROUPS DEPENDING UPON THE SOURSES OF FUEL, AS THE ELECTRICITY IS THE SOURSE OF IGNITION RATHER THAN THE MATERIAL BURNING.

METHODS OF EXTINGUISHING

STARVATION

*
*

REMOVE FUEL
VACATE PEOPLE

STARVATION

BLANKETING

* *

CLOSE THE AIR ENTRANCE TRAP THE SMOKE

MAINTAIN THE SAME FOR SOME TIME

COOLING
* CONTROL THE FLOW OF HEAT & THE CHAIN REACTION BY POURING WATER OR ANY OTHER COOLING MEDIUM

COOLING

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
CLASS A (PAPER ,WOOD)- WATER CLASS B (OIL) - FOAM

CLASS C (GASES) - WATER ,DCP,CO2,HALLONS CLASS D (METAL) - SPECIAL POWDER

HOW TO EXTINGUISH FIRE?

*STAND OPP.DIRECTION OF THE AIR (facing the back)

*Attack on the Base of fire.

*Keep sufficient distances from fire.

Dos
INFORM TIME OFFICE OR SECURTY OR SITE SAFETY PERSONNEL IN CASE OF ANY FIRE. CALL ON 07759-216205. KNOW THE USE OF DIFF. TYPE OF EXTINGUISHERS. NEVER USE WATER ON AN ELECTRICAL OR OIL FIRE. STORE INFLAMMABLE MATERIALS CLOSED & IN ITS ASSIGNED PLACE. CLEAN IMMEDIATELY ANY SPILLAGE OF INFLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. REMOVE UNWANTED WASTE MATERIALS

Don'ts
SMOKE IN PROHIBITED AREAS. STORE INFLAMMABLES NEAR ANY ELECTRICAL SWITCH BOARDS. OBSTRUCT THE PATH LEADING TO FIRE EXTINGUISHERS OR EMERGENCY DOORS WHEREVER PROVIDED. THROW COTTON WASTE SOAKED WITH INFLAMMABLE LIQUIDS IN THE DRAINS OR ROOM CORNERS.
