3. BASIC FIRE WARDEN COURSE
Quite simply because fire COSTS!
Workplace fires are estimated to cost industry over 1 billion
each year and in extreme cases, some companies are unable
to resume business because the fire damage is so extensive.
According to the Home Office, UK fire brigades attended over 36,000
workplace fires in 1997. These resulted in the deaths of 30 people, while
over 2,600 employees were injured after they suffered burns or the effects of
smoke inhalation.
Why must we train Fire Wardens?
4. This course is designed to train staff in their duties to
act as Fire Wardens within the workplace in accordance
with the
Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005 (RRFSO).
What is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005?
The government is bringing about better regulationS, by regulating only where necessary and in a
manner that is more suited to the needs of modern business and commerce.
The Order, made under the Regulatory Reform Act 2001 replaces many of the references to fire safety in
other legislation such as the Fire Precautions Act, Licensing Act and Housing Acts with a simple, single
Order. It requires any person who exercises some level of control in premises to take reasonable steps to
reduce the risk from fire and ensure occupants can safely escape if a fire does occur.
In such premises achieving fire safety is often a matter of common sense but you will have to ensure
that sufficient time is put aside to work through the necessary steps. In more complicated premises or
those with a high life risk more expert help may be required.
BASIC FIRE WARDEN COURSE
6. BASIC FIRE WARDEN COURSE
Fire is the oxidation of a combustible material releasing
heat, light, and various reaction products such as carbon
dioxide and water. If hot enough, the gases may become
ionized to produce plasma.Depending on the substances
alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame
and the fire's intensity might vary.
Fire in its most common form can result in conflagration,
which has the potential to cause physical damage
through burning.
7. PRINCIPLE OF COMBUSTION
FIRE is a hazard that endangers life and property. There are many causes of
fire in the workplace, however, the main cause includes:
โข Malicious ignition
โข Electrical faults
โข Misuse of electrical equipment
โข Smokersโ materials
โข Oil/ gas heating equipments and portable heaters
โข Unsafe storage of materials
โข Use of flammable liquids or gases in unsuitable areas

BASIC FIRE WARDEN COURSE
12. FIRE TERMINOLOGY
FLASH POINT
The flash point of a substance or preparation is an indication of its
flammability. Capable of being ignited by an outside source of heat. The
lower the flash point, the greater the hazard.
FIRE POINT
The fire point of a fuel is the temperature at which it will continue to burn
after ignition. Sufficient gases / vapours is being given off to sustain a
flame when ignited by an outside source of heat.
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE
The auto-ignition temperature or kindling point of a substance is the lowest
temperature at which it will spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere
without an external source of ignition, such as a flame or spark.
BASIC FIRE WARDEN COURSE
13. CLASSIFICATION OF FIRES
There is NO international standard for fire classification, and classification varies
from country to country.

19. PREVENTION, PROTECTION AND PRECAUTIONS
FIRE PREVENTION
โข Is a control measure to reduce the risk of a fire from
occurring.
โข The aim of fire prevention is to keep the three sides of the
fire triangle apart i.e. oxygen, fuel and ignition sources or
heat.
โ This involves the following:
โข Elimination or reduction in the use and storage of flammable
and combustible materials.
โข Control of ignition sources
โข Keeping materials well clear of sources of ignition

FUEL CLASSIFICATION
โข Fires are classified according to the type of fuel
that is burning.
โข If you use the wrong type of fire extinguisher on
the wrong class of fire, you might make matters
worse.
โข Its very important to understand the four
different fire (fuel) classificationsโฆ
25. FIRE CLASSIFICATION
Most fire extinguishers will have a pictograph label telling
you which types of fire the extinguisher is designed to
fight.
For example, a simple water extinguisher might have a
label like thisโฆ
โฆwhich means it should only be used on Class A fires.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
26. TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Different types of fire extinguishers are designed to fight
different classes of fire.
The 3 most common types of fire extinguishers are:
1. Water (APW)
2. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
3. Dry Chemical (ABC, BC, DC)
4. Foam
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
27. TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERTYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER
1.1. Water (APW) Fire Extinguishers
Large silver fire
extinguishers that stand
about 2 feet tall and
weigh about 25 pounds
when full.
APW stands for โAir-
Pressurized Water.โ
Filled with ordinary tap
water and pressurized
air, they are essentially
large squirt guns.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
28. Water (APW) Fire Extinguishers
APWโs
extinguish fire
by taking away
the โheatโ
element of the
Fire Triangle.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
29. Water (APW) Fire Extinguishers
APWโs are designed for Class A fires only:
Wood, paper, cloth.
Using water on a flammable liquid fire could cause
the fire to spread.
Using water on an electrical fire increases the risk of
electrocution. If you have no choice but to use an
APW on an electrical fire, make sure the electrical
equipment is un-plugged or de-energized.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
30. Water (APW) Fire Extinguishers
APWs will be found in older buildings, particularly in public
hallways, as well as in Residence Halls.
They will also be found in computer
laboratories. It is important to remember,
however, that computer equipment must be
disconnected from its electrical source before
using a water extinguisher on it.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
31. 2. Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishers
CO2 cylinders most commonly are colored black. They range in
size from 5 lbs to 100 lbs or larger. On larger sizes, the horn will
be at the end of a long, flexible hose.
The pressure in
a CO2
extinguisher is
so great, bits of
dry ice may
shoot out of the
horn!
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
32. Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishers
CO2s will frequently be found in laboratories, mechanical
rooms, kitchens, and flammable liquid storage areas.
CO2โs are designed for Class B and C
(Flammable Liquids and Electrical Sources)
fires only!
In accordance with NFPA regulations (and manufacturersโ
recommendations), all CO2 extinguishers must undergo
hydrostatic testing and recharge every 5 years.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
33. Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishers
CO2 is very cold as it
comes out of the
extinguisher, so it
cools the fuel as
well.
Carbon dioxide is a
non-flammable gas
that takes away the
oxygen element of
the fire triangle.
Without oxygen,
there is no fire.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
34. Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishers
Class A materials may also smolder and
re-ignite.
A CO2 may be ineffective in
extinguishing a Class A fire because it
may not be able to displace enough
oxygen to successfully put the fire
out.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
35. Dry Chemical (ABC) Fire Extinguishers
โABCโ fire extinguishers are filled with a fine yellow
powder. The greatest portion of this powder is composed
of monoammonium phosphate. The extinguishers are
pressurized with nitrogen.
ABC extinguishers are
red. On campus, they
range in size from 5
to 20 lbs.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
36. Dry Chemical (ABC) Fire Extinguishers
You may see them labeled:
โข DC (for โDry Chemicalโ)
โข ABC (can be used on Class A, B, or C fires)
โข BC (designed for use on Class B and C fires)
Dry chemical
extinguishers come in
a variety of typesโฆ
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
37. 3.3. Dry Chemical (ABC) Fire Extinguishers
The powder also
works to interrupt
the chemical
reaction of fire.
These extinguishers
are very effective at
putting out fire.
Dry chemical
extinguishers put out
fire by coating the fuel
with a thin layer of
dust. This separates
the fuel from the
oxygen in the air.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
38. Dry Chemical (ABC) Fire Extinguishers
An โABCโ extinguisher will have a label
like this, indicating it may be used on
Class A, B and C fires.
It is extremely important to identify which types of dry
chemical extinguishers are located in your area!
You donโt want to mistakenly use a โBCโ extinguisher on a
Class A fire thinking that it was an โABCโ extinguisher.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
39. Dry Chemical (ABC) Fire Extinguishers1
Dry chemical extinguishers with
powder designed for Class B and C fires
(โBCโ extinguishers) may be located in
places such as commercial kitchens
and areas with flammable liquids.
On campus, you will find ABCโs in public hallways of new
buildings, in laboratories, break rooms, offices, chemical
storage areas, mechanical rooms, University vehicles, etc.

40. 4. Foam Extinguisher. (AFFF)
Fires involving solids. Liquids such as
grease, fats, oil, paint, petrol,etc but not
on domestic chip or fat pan fires. Can
be used on class A fires but not
recommended.
Danger
Do not use on domestic chip or fat pan
fires.

41. Foam Extinguisher. (AFFF)
How to Use
For fires involving solids, point the jet at the base
of the flames and keep it moving across the area
of the fire. Ensure that all areas of the fire are out.
For fire involving liquids, do not aim the jet
straight into the liquid. Where the liquid on fire is
in a container, point the jet at the inside edge of
the container or on a nearby surface above the
burning liquid. Allow the foam to build up and flow
across the liquid.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE EXTINGUISHER
42. Foam Extinguisher. (AFFF)
How it Works
They are mainly water based,
with a foaming agent so that
the foam can float on top of
the burning liquid and break
the interaction between the
flames and the fuel surface.

48. Rules for Fighting FiresRules for Fighting Fires
Fires can be very dangerous and you should always be certain
that you will not endanger yourself or others when attempting
to put out a fire.
For this reason, when a fire is discoveredโฆ
1. Assist any person in immediate danger to safety, if it
can be accomplished without risk to yourself.
2. Call 997 or activate the building fire alarm. The fire
alarm will notify the fire department and other building
occupants and shut off the air handling system to
prevent the spread of smoke.
If the fire is small (and Only after having done these
2 things), you may attempt to use an extinguisher to
put it out. However . . . .However . . . .

. . . before deciding to fight the fire, keep these
things in mind:
1. Know what is burning. If you donโt know whatโs
burning, you wonโt know what kind of extinguisher to
use.
2. Even if you have an ABC fire extinguisher, there may be
something in the fire that is going to explode or
produce toxic fumes.
Chances are you will know whatโs burning, or at
least have a pretty good idea, but if you donโt, let
the fire department handle it.

. . . before deciding to fight the fire, keep these
things in mind:
3. Is the fire spreading rapidly beyond the point where it
started? The time to use an extinguisher is at the
beginning stages of the fire.
4. If the fire is already spreading quickly, it is best to
simply evacuate the building.
As you evacuate a building, close doors and windows
behind you as you leave. This will help to slow the
spread of smoke and fire.

Do not fight the fire if:
๏ผ You donโt have adequate or appropriate equipment.
If you donโt have the correct type or large enough
extinguisher, it is best not to try fighting the fire.
๏ผ You might inhale toxic smoke. When synthetic
materials such as the nylon in carpeting or foam
padding in a sofa burn, they can produce hydrogen
cyanide, acrolein, and ammonia in addition to carbon
monoxide. These gases can be fatal in very small
amounts.

uncomfortable with the situation for any reason, just
let the fire department do their job.

The final rule is to always position yourself with an exit
or means of escape at your back before you attempt to
use an extinguisher to put out a fire.
In case the extinguisher malfunctions, or something
unexpected happens, you need to be able to get out
quickly. You donโt want to become trapped.
