This document provides information on basic firefighting training. It discusses the different types of fires (Class A, B, C, D), methods of fire removal (cooling, smothering, starvation), and types of fire extinguishers (water, powder, foam, CO2). It describes how to properly use fire extinguishers and the various safety equipment used in firefighting like protective clothing, smoke detectors, fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and fire hydrants. The document emphasizes the importance of knowing fire safety procedures like evacuation routes, emergency contacts, and following the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) when using an extinguisher.

2. A process in which substances combine
chemically with oxygen from the air and
typically give out bright light, heat, and
smoke; combustion or burning.

5. Class B
flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene,
paint, paint thinners and propane
Class C
Energized electrical equipment, such as appliances,
switches, panel boxes and power tools.
Class D
Certain combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium,
potassium, and sodium
6. Types of Removing Fire
COOLING
Removal of heat.
(Best cooling media is water
SMOTHERING
Reducing % of oxygen. Cutting off the
supply of oxygen. (Blanketing, Use foam
STARVATION
Removal of fuel or removal of
combustible material near by
8. Water type Extinguisher
A ring or pin on the handle stops the fire extinguisher from being
set off by accident. It also acts as a tamper-proof seal: if the ring is
broken or missing, you know the extinguisher needs to be
checked.
Inside the sturdy steel case, there's a canister containing high-
pressure gas (orange with blue hashing).
Most of the extinguisher is filled with water (blue).
A tube runs right up the inside of the tube to a nozzle outside
(gray).
The nozzle often ends in a piece of bendy plastic so you can easily
direct it toward the base of a fire.
To operate the extinguisher, you pull the ring and press the handle.
Pressing the handle opens a valve (shown here as a green arrow)
that releases the pressurized gas from the canister.
The gas immediately expands and fills the inside of the
extinguisher, pushing the water downward
As the water is pushed down, it rises up the tube
A jet of water emerges from the nozzle.
12. CO2 Extinguisher
These consist basically of a pressure cylinder with a valve for releasing the gas
and a discharge horn. The gas is maintained in liquid form at a pressure of 50 bars
(750 psi).
The discharge horn allows the gas to expand at a ratio of 450:1 and when it is
directed into the fire, prevents air from being pulled along entrainment by
reducing the velocity of gas.
The average discharge time is 16 30 seconds.
Advantages:
i. Rapid in action, independent of atmospheric temperature.
Ii. It is an inert gas which quickly disperses, leaving no trace.
iii. It is a non-conductor of electricity.
iv. Can be used in the incipient (first) stage of highly flammable
liquid fires.
v. Penetrates inaccessible places
Disadvantages:
i. The total weight in relation to the contents is considerable
ii. There is no visible way to check the contents
14. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
It is refers to protective clothing, helmets,
goggles, or other garments or equipment
designed to protect the wearer's body from
injury or infection. The hazards addressed by
protective equipment include physical,
electrical, heat, chemicals, biohazards, and
airborne particulate matter.
15. CCTV Cameras :
For surveillance of
movement/footages of
incidents and accidents
SMOKE DETECTOR :
Is used to detect the smoke
and alarm goes on
17. FIRE ALARM PANEL BOARD :
To monitor breakup of fire and know the
exact location of fire
18. Fire sprinkler system
A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection measure, consisting of
water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flow rate to a water
distribution piping system, A glass bulb type sprinkler head will spray
water into the room if sufficient heat reaches the bulb and causes it to
shatter. Sprinkler heads operate individually. Note the red liquid alcohol in
the glass bulb.
25. In case of Fire there will be enormous smoke which will fade our vision , to
over come that we have to crawl down to save our life . Always remember
Fire kills slowly but . Smoke will kill Immediately & Instantly
