2. Fire is a exothermic reaction .
fire is rapid burning of material giving heat and light .
Fire Triangle:
There are three element in fire :
Oxygen, heat, and fuel are needed to create a fire.
When you can remove one part, the fire cannot spread.
Fire triangle is useful for two reason :
Fire prevention
Fire frightening
3. • Oxygen
Can be in the air. Chemicals like fertilizer or bleach produce oxygen. Also open
doors and windows let in oxygen which can feed a fire.
• Heat
Machines, matches, and heaters get hot and can be dangerous. Also, heat from
processes like cooking while not being controlled can cause a much more dangerous
fire to spread.
• Fuel
Paper, flammable liquids, gases, coal, wood and plastic are all potential fuels for
fires.
4. UK Standard
Class A - Non metal
Class B - Flammable liquids
Class C - Flammable gases

Class E - Electrical Fires
Class F - Cooking oil fires
AMERICAN STANDARD
Class A - non metal
Class B - Flammable liquids

Class D - Metal fires
Class F - Cooking oil fires
5. Non Metal :
such a metal that leave ash like wood, paper, carton, textile, and PVC ,etc.
Flammable Liquid :
such a liquid that boil or bubble such, gasoline, grease oil ,etc.
Flammable Gases :
such a gases that combust or burn such ,LPG, Natural gas ,CNG , Propylene ,etc.
Electrical Fire :
often caused by short circuits ,overheated electrical cables ,etc.
Combustible Metals:
such as iron, aluminum, sodium, and magnesium ,etc.
Cooking Oil Fire:
Containing a fat element, such as cooking oil.
6.
7. Direct Burning :
The simplest method of fire spread,
where a flame front moves along or
through the burning material.
Convection:
The principle that hot air rises and cold
air sinks. Hot gases generated by the fire
rise straight up from the fire .
8. Conduction:
The principle that heat can be transmitted
through solid material some metal, in
particular ,conduct heat very efficiently.
Radiation:
Thermal radiation occurs when heat is
transferred from one object to a second
object through the air without direct
contact by the two objects.
9. Electrical Equipment
Deliberate Ignition
Hot Work
Smoking
Cooking Appliances
Heating Appliances
Unsafe Use And Storage
Mechanical Heat
Chemical Reaction
Flammable and Combustible Materials
Human Error
General Negligence
10. There are three main reason for assessing and managing fire risk are to :
Prevent harm to people
Comply with law
Minimize the cost of fire in the workplace
11. Identify the fire hazards:
• Source of fuel
• Source of ignition
• Source of oxygen
Identify people at risk:
• People in the premises
• Give special consideration to vulnerable people
Evaluate, identify and implementation the fire precaution that are required:
• Fire prevention
• Prevention of the spread of smoke and flames
• Fire detection and alarm
12. • Fire fighting equipment
• Means of escape
• Sign and notice
• Lighting
Record your findings, prepare an emergency plan and provide training.
• Emergency plan
• Information and instruction
• Training
Review and update the fire risk assessment regularly.
13. Water fire extinguisher
Dry chemical power fire extinguisher
Carbon dioxide fire extinguisher
Wet chemical fire extinguisher
Foam fire extinguisher
14. Water Fire Extinguisher
Its colour code is Red
Suitable for use on Class A fires, wood and paper,
etc.
Not suitable for combustible liquids, cooking fats,
etc.
Not safe to use on fires involving electricity
Extinguishes by cooling
15. Dry Chemical Power Fire Extinguisher
Its colour code is blue
It can be use for all classes of fire
Best on Class B fires

Extinguishes by smothering
16. Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher
Its colour code is black
Best on Class B fires
Safe to use on electrical fires
Not to be used in confined areas it can cause
asphyxiation
Extinguishes by smothering and cooling
17. Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher
Its color code is yellow label
Specifically designed for use on cooking
oil/fat fires
Can be used on Class A fires
Extinguishes by smothering and cooling
Do not use on electrical fires.
18. Foam Fire Extinguisher
Its colour code is cream
Suitable for Class A and B fires

Extinguishes by smothering
19. Fire Hydrant And Fire Hose
Fire hydrant is a connection point by which fire fighters
can tap into a water supply.
Fire hose is a high-pressure hose that carries water or
other fire retardant such as foam to a fire to extinguish it.
It is a components of active fire protection it is suitable
for class A fire ,wood and paper, etc.
Not suitable for combustible liquids, cooking fats, etc. or
on fires involving electricity
Extinguishes by cooling
Fire hydrant
Fire hose
20. Fire Blanket And Fire Bucket
Fire blanket
Label is usually red or white
For use on any type of fire but best on small contained Class
B fires
Extinguishes by smothering
Normally used in kitchens
When using, wrap some of the blanket around hands and
raise up to protect face.
Fire bucket
A fire bucket is a bucket that filled with water or sand which is
used to prevent or extinguish fires.
21. • Ensure access to the extinguisher is not obstructed by storage bins, file cabinets, or
similar items
• Make sure the extinguisher is mounted in a location where it is visible and easy to
locate during an emergency
• Check the tamper-seal to verify it is not broken or missing
• Ensure the pull-pin is not missing
• Check the pressure gauge the needle should be located in the green portion of the
gauge.
• Check the extinguisher for obvious physical damage, corrosion, leakage, or a
clogged nozzle.
• Check the inspection tag and see the last inspection date
• Read all the warning and symbol before using extinguisher.
22. Cooling
Removal of HEAT. (By water. Generally for class "A" )
Starvation
Removal of FUEL (by cutting fuel supply)
Smothering
Removal of OXYGEN. (By using CO2 or DCP- dry chemical powder)
23. Check the direction of air
Position your self at a location so that the air flow from you towards the fire
Cut off power and gas supply
Select the right type of extinguisher
Stay at distance (6-8’) away from fire
Try to contain fire such time rescue arrives
Know how to you control and extinguish fire
24. If you discover fire the sire remember the acronym RACE :
Rescue anyone in immediate danger of the fire
Alert others and emergency services to the fire
Contain the spread fire by closing door and window
Evacuate to a safe place outside
25.
26. Fire alarm procedures
Fire evacuation procedures
How to raise the alarm
The location of fire exits
Location and types of fire fighting equipment
How to use the equipment.
27. Carry out a fire safety risk assessment
Keep sources of ignition and flammable substances apart
Avoid accidental fires, eg make sure heaters cannot be knocked over
Ensure good housekeeping at all times
Consider how to detect fires and how to warn people quickly if they start, e.g.
installing smoke alarms and fire alarms or bells
Have the correct fire-fighting equipment for putting a fire out quickly
Keep fire exits and escape routes clearly marked and unobstructed at all times
Ensure your workers receive appropriate training on procedures they need to
follow, including fire drills
Review and update your risk assessment regularly
