 FIRE SAFETY TRAINING

The “Fire Triangle” identifies the

three components of any fire:
–Fuel : paper, wood, flammable gas, energized
electrical equipment, etc...

–Energy (heat): sufficient to support combustion.

Often referred to as the ignition source.

–AIR
IF ANY ONE OF THESE IS MISSING, A FIRE CANNOT
CONTINUE.

FIRE TYPES
 A - Free burning materials, paper, wood,
plastics
 B - Flammable & combustible liquids,
gasoline ,thinners, oil etc…
 C – Flammable gases, hydrocarbon etc.

 D - Fires involving metals,

 E - Electrical Fires
