What is a third-degree fire?

www.facebook.com/thebriefaffairs
Experts say that there are different types
of fires and it is normal for the
temperature to rise in the place where the
fire started. A third-degree fire is
considered to be a full-fledged room or
part of the fire.

This means that the affected area


becomes very hot and the temperature
can reach 1000 degrees Fahrenheit in just
a few seconds. In such a case, it is
impossible for other creatures, including
humans, to survive.

A third-degree fire is considered to be the most
difficult to suppress because the fire has
reached its maximum temperature and the heat
is the most damaging.

Third-degree fires are generally considered to


be the production of high-temperature gases
that can ignite electrical appliances or kitchen
utensils.

Similarly, methane or natural gas produces


third-degree fires which are not easily
extinguished. The dry chemical powder is used
instead of water to extinguish this fire.
