FIRE
FIRE FIGHTING COURSE
To initiate and maintain this chemical reaction, there are three factors
which must be present at the same time in order for a fire to occur.
Fire will exist when all 3 elements of the fire triangle are present.
FIRE FIGHTING COURSE
1. Radiation
2. Conduction
3. Convection

Radiation

1.3.3 RADIATION
Electric fire.
Conduction
FIRE FIGHTING COURSE
1.3.1 CONDUCTION
Heat applied to a solid is conducted through the material to heat up its
entire area.
The heat energy is transferred from one molecule to the next
throughout the entire area of the solid.
Steel supporting beams which can transfer heat to numerous locations
in a building. Contact between the beam and combustiblematerial at
any point could start a fire.
Pipework for heating systems in a building.
Electrical wiring.

Convection
FIRE FIGHTING COURSE
1.3.2 CONVECTION
Fire heats up the air causing it to expand and become less dense. The
hot air rises and move away from the fire. At the same time, more
cooler air is drawn towards to fire to aid combustion and it is heated up
in the same way causing the process to continue.
The result is a circulation and spreading of heat, hot gasses and
possibly burning embers.

A - B - C - D
These classifications depend on the nature of the material which is
burning.
FIRE FIGHTING COURSE
FIRE EXTINCTION
To extinguish a fire we need to remove just ONE of the elements. We
must remove each element of the fire triangle by different means
COOLING
Cooling absorbs sufficient heat in the fire (as the water turns to
steam) so as to reduce the temperature below the fire point.
SMOTHERING
STARVING
Examples
Removal of surrounding combustible materials.
Turning off a gas supply.
Blanking of a pipeline.

FIRE PREVENTION
FIRE FIGHTING COURSE
The fuel side of the fire triangle can result from uncontrolled usage or
storage of combustible materials.
4.1.1 SOLIDS
Uncontrolled usage and storage of large quantities of paper, furnishings,
fittings may result in the initial ignition of a fire or supply sufficient fuel for the
development of a serious fire following ignition.
4.1.2 LIQUIDS
The ability of flammable liquids, such as petrol, to ignite at ambient
temperatures requires strict control regarding storage and use.
All managers and supervisors should ensure that:
Petrol or its by-products are only transported in approved metal
containers.
Petrol or its by-products are only stored in approved metal
containers at a safe distance from any camp set up.
Cleaning sprays or liquids labelled as 'highly flammable' are kept
to the minimum quantity necessary, and stored in metal presses or
approved cupboards out of direct sunlight.
Cooking oils are only used in approved areas (kitchens) and
heated up only by competent persons under supervision.
FIRE FIGHTING COURSE
4.1.3 GASES
Fire or explosions involving the storage or use may result from the
ignition of leaking gas or following the heating of cylinders under fire
conditions.
4.2.2 SMOKING
Only strict prohibition of smoking in key areas can prevent the risk of
ignition of combustible items from discarded cigarettes or matches.
