1. Explain the concept of fire triangle in your own words

The concept of fire triangle is to illustrate the three basic elements that
necessary for any fire to occur, which they are; Fuel, Oxygen and Heat. It explains in
fire triangle on how to prevent fire and be aware on how a fire occur like for example,
if those elements said in fire triangle are present and combined in the right mixture, a
fire are naturally occurred and a fire can prevent, if we remove one of the said
elements in fire triangle.

2. Explain tetrahedron theory

A tetrahedron can be described as a pyramid which is a solid having four
plane faces. Essentially all four elements must be present for fire to occur, fuel, heat,
oxygen, and a chemical chain reaction. Removal of any one of these essential
elements will result in the fire being extinguished. The four elements are oxygen to
sustain combustion, sufficient heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature,
fuel or combustible material and subsequently an exothermic chemical chain
reaction in the material. Each of the four sides of the fire tetrahedron symbolize the
Fuel, Heat, Oxygen and Chemical Chain Reaction. Theoretically, fire extinguishers
put out fire by taking away one or more elements of the fire tetrahedron.

3. Why is it called fire triangle? Explain fully in your own words

For me, it called Fire triangle to easily understand or explain the elements of fire
which the Heat, Fuel and Oxygen. it called fire triangle to easily explain how a fire
occur and how to prevent fire by explaining those elements.
