19. Princess is cooking when the oil blazed a fire. She wet a blanket and covered the pan
on fire with it until the flame was put out. What extinguishing method was used?
A. Quenching B. Separation
C. Cooling D. Smothering
METHODS OF EXTINGUISHMENT
1. COOLING – heat absorption.
2. SEPARATION – the removal of the fuel.
3. SMOTHERING – by expelling oxygen
4. Inhibition or the interruption of chemical chain reaction
METHODS OF EXTINGUISHMENT
1. Cooling
One of the most effective approaches in fire extinction is removing the heat. Thus, cooling
with water is one of the most popular methods. The heat generated by th fire is absorbed
by the water. This remains effective as long as the water can still absorb the heat.
However, it is important to know that water should never be used in fires involving
electricity, cooking oils/fat, grease and other flammable liquids.
2. Starving
Starving the fire from its fuel source is a different approach. When fire runs out of
flammable materials, it will eventually burn out itself. For example, a bonfire in the open
when it is not in contact with any other wood or dry grass will ultimately lose its blaze. In
a gas fire, it will immediately extinguish if the gas supply is cut off. The same method is
applied to your gas stove or bunsen burner.
3. Smothering
The third approach involves the last element in the triangle, oxygen. Smothering is a technique
where oxygen is removed from the equation. An example of this is using a fire blanket in a
frying pan blaze to reduce the oxygen level below 16%. Covering a candle with a glass is also
an example. The fire burns out all the oxygen inside the glass creating a vacuum.
This approach is commonly applied to solid fuel fires. However, some materials may contain
enough oxygen within their own chemical makeup to continue burning.
4. Inhibition
Fire is extinguished by inhibition by chemically deactivating the intermediate free radicals and
by physical deactivation by placing molecules of the extinguishing agent in between the
reactive species. Both effects produce the non-continuation of the chain reaction.
THREE (3) PHASES OF FIRE
1. Incipient Phase
2. Free Burning Phase
3. Smoldering
1. INCIPIENT STAGE (Ignition) - initial stage of fire
Characteristics
● normal room temperature

presence of adequate oxygen
Characteristics
● fire has involved more fuel
● oxygen supply has depleted
● heat accumulates at upper area
● temperature exceeds 1,330 Degree Farenheit
● area is fully involved
3. SMOLDERING PHASE (Decay) - final phase of burning where in flame ceases but dense smoke and heat completely fill
the confined room

protection from it. Walls may be required to provide a barrier to the spread of fire or
perform structurally when exposed to fire, or both.

2. Sizing Up (Ground Commander - the decision-maker of what course of action to be taken)
3. Rescue - the removal of person or occupants from the fire hazard
4. Cover Exposure - to prevent fire into spreading to other uninvolved buildings.
5. Confinement - to prevent fire from extending to the other portion of the burning building.
a. Upward extension - most rapid, through stairways, windows and air ducts.
b. Sideward extension - thru combustible partitions and doors.
c. Downward extension - slow, through floors, stairways, and air ducts.

b. Indirect attack
c. Combination
