5
 FIRE FIGHTING MEDIAS
• Fire fighting medias are those materials which used to
extinguish the fire which are as under

WATER AFFF

DCP CO2

• Fire fighting foams are of many types Sand

• Dry chemical powders are of many types
• Fire extinguishing gases are of many types 6
 FIRE FIGHTING MEDIAS
• Every media has its own specific effects on fire with regard
to extinguish the fire
• These medias eliminates the fire triangle

Cooling agent, reduce the temperature, cheapest

WATER media, easily available. composition hydrogen
and oxygen

Aqueous film forming foam, florosyenthic wetting

AFFF agent. Removes the oxygen by making a layer on
surface of B class fire

Monoammonium phosphate powder. ABC dry

DCP chemical is usually a mix of monoammonium
phosphate and ammonium sulfate,

CO2 Cooling and smothering agent, use for electronics

and electrical equipment fire 7

PRINCIPLES OF FIRE EXTINCTION

COOLING

STARVING
If any of fire elements
( fuel, heat, oxygen) is
removed fire will be
out, these principles SMOTHERING
are by using

INHIBITION
9
PRINCIPLES OF FIRE EXTINCTION

Now discuss one by one 10

 PRINCIPLES OF FIRE EXTINCTION

Done by water which lowers the

COOLING
temperature below the ignition
temperature of fuel,

11
PRINCIPLES OF FIRE EXTINCTION

STARVING • removal of unburned material from the

scene of fire, closing down of supply valve
of liquid or gas or by draining/ shifting
liquid from tank

12
 PRINCIPLES OF FIRE EXTINCTION

• Removal of oxygen from burning

SMOTHERING process, done by AFFF, CO2 or steam

13
 PRINCIPLES OF FIRE EXTINCTION

By breaking chemical reaction of the

INHIBITION burning process, done by using Halon gas
(BCF/ BTM) or DCP
