 2.0 Introduction

It is important to have a basic understanding about how a fire occurs and behaves
within a building. Essentially, fire is a chemical reaction. A carbon-based material
(fuel) mixes with oxygen (usually a component of air) and comes in contact with
something hot enough to heat this mixture so that combustible vapors are
produced. If these vapors dissipate, then nothing happens. However, if they come
in contact with an ignition source--such as open flame--a fire results. Depending on
the combustibility of the ignited fuel, the fire may start as a slow-growth scenario
with a long smoldering period or it may grow rapidly with almost no smoldering
time. In either instance, once visible flames appear, the fire's destructive forces
increase exponentially.

The flaming stage of a fire will start with a rapid rise in heat levels, initially along
the room's ceiling, and then throughout the entire space. During the first two to
three minutes, ceiling temperatures can reach 1,000°C (1,800°F). Over the next
few minutes, these temperatures will spread throughout the room as the ceiling's
layer of hot gases migrates. Ultimately, this gas layer acts like an oven's broiler,
superheating and igniting all combustibles in the room. At that point, the room and
all within it are completely destroyed.

The fire can then spread through open doorways and wall penetrations, or through
concealed wall and ceiling cavities to other spaces in the building. Ultimately, if
not suppressed, the fire can lead to a total loss of the building and its contents, not
to mention the loss of lives.

 3.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The fire of childhood as a friend grows up to be the very opposite of words used in
the daily use of fire. While fire is a necessity in daily life, it can be dangerous if not
properly controlled.

The fire is a tragedy that has caused millions of dollars worth of property damage
and possibly loss of life. Therefore, it is important that we know the causes of the
fire. The causes of fire in the workplace are as follows:

 Removal of cigarette butts and fire tickets.

 A pile of rubbish, paper and flammable materials.
 'Overloading' to the Plug or Socket electrical circuit Flammable materials
are exposed to fire.
 Sources Barriers to Ventilation System for electrical machinery and
equipment .

TYPES OF FIRE

1. Class A fire, which burns solid material

2. Class B fire, which burns liquid / gas

3. Class C fire, which burns with electrical current

4. Class D fire, metal-burning materials The above-mentioned type of fire

extinguisher was formed in the 1970s, previously only grade A, B, C.
