Let Us Study

Threats to fire safety are referred to as fire hazards. A fire hazard may
include a situation that increases the likelihood of fire or may impede escape in
the event fire occurs.
Fire hazards are anything which can increase the likelihood of fire. Fires
can cause major disasters and loss of lives in buildings such as offices, hotels,
shopping centers, hospitals, schools, and homes. Such disasters can be
avoided if proper fire safety is practiced. The best prevention is to eliminate fire
hazards. Therefore, as a responsible citizen, you need to know what fire
hazards are and what you should do to remove them from your place of work
or in your own home (Singapore Civil Defense Force, 2015).

Overview
The ancient Greeks believed that fire was one of the four basic elements
that composed all things in the universe. In the mythology of virtually every
culture, fire is a sacred substance that gives life or power. Fire is not, in fact, a
substance. When you gaze at the leaping flames of a campfire, you are
observing not an object, but a process-a chemical reaction. It is the same
chemical reaction that occurs when a cut apple left on the counter turns
brown, when silver tarnishes or when an iron nail rusts (National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), (2015) from http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).
The process is oxidation: combining oxygen with another substance. The
defining difference between fire and your half-eaten apple is speed: fire is an
oxidation process that happens very fast, so that light, heat, and sound are
released - often with enough force and majesty to justify the ancients'
reverence. The sudden release of energy causes temperatures to rise,
sometimes by thousands of degrees. And it also results in smoke, which is a
toxic waste. (National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), (2015) from
http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).
One generally accepted definition of combustion or fire is a process of
rapid oxidation at elevated temperatures accompanied by the evolution of
heated gaseous products of combustion. and the emission of visible and
invisible radiation. Oxidation occurs all around us in the form of rust on metal
surfaces, and in our bodies by metabolizing the food we eat. However, the key
word that sets combustion apart from other forms of oxidation is the word-
rapid" (Fire Safety Advice Centre (2011) from http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).
The combustion process is usually associated with the oxidation of a fuel
in the presence of oxygen with the emission of heat and light. Oxidation, in the
strict chemical sense, means the loss of electrons. For an oxidation reaction to
occur, a reducing agent the fuel, and an oxidizing agent, usually oxygen must
be present. As heat is added, the ignition source, the fuel molecules and
oxygen molecules gain energy and become active. This molecular energy is
transferred to other fuel and oxygen molecules which creates a chain reaction.
A reaction takes place where the fuel loses electrons and the oxygen gains
electrons. This exothermic electron transfer emits heat and/or light. If the fire
is in a fire grate/or furnace we refer to this process as a controlled fire, and if it
is a building on fire, we refer to this process as an uncontrolled fire (Fire Safety
Advice Centre (2011) from http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).

The Combustion Modes

The combustion process occurs in two modes:
 The flaming
 The non-flaming, smoldering or glowing embers
For the flaming mode, it is necessary for solid and liquid fuels to be
vaporized. The solid fuel vapors are thermally driven off or distilled and the
liquid fuel vapors evaporate. It is this volatile vapor from the solid or liquid
fuels that we see actually burning in the flaming mode. This gas or vapor
production, emitted from the fuel, is referred to as pyrolysis. Once a flame has
been established, heat transfer from the flame to the fuel surface continues to

5
drive off more volatile gases and perpetuates the combustion process. For
continued burning in the flaming mode it requires a high burning rate, and the
heat loss associated with transfer of heat from the flame area by conduction,
convection, and radiation must be less than the energy output of the fire. If the
heat loss is greater than the energy output of the fire the fire will extinguish
(Fire Safety Advice Centre (2011) from http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).
Both modes, flaming and non-flaming surface modes, can occur singly, or
in combination. Flammable liquids and gases only burn in the flaming mode.
Wood, straw, and coal are examples where both modes may exist
simultaneously (Fire Safety Advice Centre (2011) from http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).
Flaming combustion can occur in the following forms:
1. Premixed flames where the fuel and oxygen are mixed prior to
ignition. For example, the flame on a Bunsen burner, gas stove, or
propane torch.
2. Diffusion flames, more common, where the fuel and oxygen are
initially separate but burn in the region where they mix, like a
burning of a pool of flammable liquid or the burning of a log.

Stages of Fire
There are three generally recognized stages of fire. The incipient stage,
smoldering stage, and flame stage.
The incipient stage is a region where preheating, distillation and slow
pyrolysis are in progress. Gas and sub-micron particles are generated and
transported away from the source by diffusion, air movement, and weak
convection movement, produced by the buoyancy of the products of pyrolysis
(Fire Safety Advice Centre (2011) from http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).
The smoldering stage is a region of fully developed pyrolysis that begins
with ignition and includes the initial stage of combustion. Invisible aerosol and
visible smoke particles are generated and transported away from the source by
moderate convection patterns and background air movement (Fire Safety
Advice Centre (2011) from http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).
The flaming stage is a region of rapid reaction that covers the period of
initial occurrence of flame to a fully developed fire. Heat transfer from the fire
occurs predominantly from radiation and convection from the flame (Fire
Safety Advice Centre (2011) from http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).

Classes of Fire
Combustible and flammable fuels involved in fires have been broken down
into five categories:
 Class A Fires are fires involving organic solids like paper and wood
 Class B Fires - are fires involving flammable liquids.
 Class C Fires - are fires involving flammable gases.
 Class D Fires - are fires involving metals.
 Class F Fires - are fires involving cooking oils.

Nature of Fire Hazard

6
 Fires can cause major disasters and loss of lives in buildings such as
offices, hotels, shopping centers, hospitals, schools, and homes. Such disasters
can be avoided if proper fire safety is practiced. The best prevention is to
eliminate fire hazards. Therefore, as a responsible citizen, you need to know
what fire hazards are and what you should do to remove them from your place
of work or in your own home (Singapore Civil Defense Force, 2014 from
http://goo.gl/9Lbyyp).
Fire hazards include all types of live flames, causes of sparks, hot objects,
and chemicals that are potential for ignition, or that can aggravate a fire to
become large and uncontrolled. Fire hazards also include all types of potential
threats to fire prevention practices, firefighting, built-in fire safety systems and
situations that restrict the escape of people from an affected building or area in
the event of a fire (Cuthbert (2015) from www.safeopedia.com).
Fire hazards pose threats to life and property. It is, therefore, the prime
object of safety systems to detect, remove or reduce the risk of fire threatened
by those potential hazards (Cuthbert (2015) from www.safeopedia.com).
The following fire hazards are common at home, in public places, transports
and workplaces:
 All types of flames used for any work
 Electric wires, higher loads, loose connections, and old electrical
equipment
 All cooking and heat generating appliances
 All works and situations where fire is essential such as welding, cutting,
metal casting etc.
 Improper stowage of tools, equipment and items during and at the end of
the day's work
 Smoking and personal lighters and matches
 Fireworks, pyrotechniques, ammunitions and explosives
 Improper and unauthorized stowage of flammable and hazardous
materials and chemicals especially the flammable ones
 Insufficient capacity and numbers of emergency exits and stairs
 Hindrance to sight or reach firefighting equipment, markings and alarm
systems
 Insufficient numbers and types of fire extinguishers
 Absence of fire detection and alarm system
 Violation of building and fire codes

The Fire Triangle

The fire triangle or combustion triangle is
a simple model for understanding the
necessary ingredients for most fires. The
triangle illustrates the three elements fire
needs to ignite: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing
agent (usually oxygen). Fire naturally occurs
when the elements are present and combined
in the right mixture. Meaning, that fire is
actually an event rather than a thing. Fire can
be prevented or extinguished by removing any one of the elements in the fire

7
triangle. For example, covering fire with a fire blanket removes the oxygen part
of the triangle and can extinguish a fire.

Activity 1. Fire Triangle

Directions: Observe the things that are found inside and outside of your house.
List down below the sources of fuel, oxygen and heat that are commonly found
in your home.
FUEL OXYGEN HEAT
1. 1. 1.
2. 2. 2.
3. 3. 3.
4. 4. 4.
5. 5. 5.

Guide questions:
1. What would happen if fuels were removed? For example: clearing away
leaves, paper, debris, etc.
2. What would happen if oxygen were removed? For example, smother a small
fire with a fire extinguisher.
3. What would happen if heat were removed? For example: splashing of water
to a small fire.

Causes of Fire
1. Accidents and Carelessness
Many people believe that if they are careful, they are much less likely to
have fire. While it is true that being careful will make you safer it will not
stop fire from happening. Most fires are not caused by carelessness. They are
caused by everyday living that is almost impossible for us to change.
2. Electrical Wiring, Electrical Outlets and Faulty Wiring
Whether it is in an electrical outlet or a short in the wall, many fires are
caused by electrical wiring. Older homes are particularly susceptible as they
were not wired for the many appliances that we have filled our homes with.
Many homes that were built in the 50's-70's have aluminum wiring that gets
very hot and increases the chance of fire.
3. Appliances
Lamps, toasters and even baby monitors can short out. Be particularly
careful with older appliances and extension cords. Even new appliances can
be the source of a home tire. lo be safe, appliances should be unplugged
when not in use. Unfortunately, not all appliances can be unplugged, leaving
your home at risk 24 hours a day.
4. Heating
Heating is another major cause of residential fire deaths.
5. Unattended Stoves
Another cause of residential fires is cooking, but not due to defective
stoves or ovens. Often, it is because of unattended pots or the burner being
left on accidentally.

8
6. Children Playing with Matches
Children and grandchildren playing with matches are a major source of
home fires. According to the Burn Awareness Coalition, burns are the
number one cause of accidental deaths in children under two, fire and burn
injuries are the second leading cause of accidental deaths in children ages 1-
4, and the third leading cause of injury and death for ages 1-18. Matches
and lighters in the hands of young children are a significant factor in fire
fatalities. Educating parents and grandparents to the seriousness of this
issue is paramount.

Precautionary Measures Before, During and After a Fire Incident

Fires are deadly, which kill thousands of people every year. While
prevention is key, it is what you do in the middle of a fire that may save your
life. Unlike other disasters that give you warning and time to get away, a fire is
not nearly as forgiving (http://lifehacker.com). Here is how to prepare, and
what to do.
Before: Preparation (and Smoke Detectors) Is Everything
Remember, a house fire is not just one thing -it is a deadly mixture of
things: smoke and toxic gases, lack of oxygen, crippling heat, scorching flames,
and a lack of light are all dangerous on their own, and a house fire offers every
single one of them. It is important to be prepared and act quickly if a fire
occurs (http://lifehacker.com)
 Make sure you have a disaster plan. Your plan in the case of fire
should largely consist of an evacuation plan that you have practiced.
Everyone in your household or office should be well versed in it, and you
should have meet-up or rally points set at a safe distance from your
home or office. Make sure you have multiple ways out of each room, even
if that means you need collapsible fire ladders for upper-floor windows. If
you live in an apartment building or high-rise, memorize the fastest way
to the nearest stairwell, by sight and by feel. You should be able to get
there even if you cannot see-which you may not be able to in a fire.
 Make sure you can open windows, screens, security bars, and doors.
You and everyone in your household should be comfortable opening
security bars on windows, screen doors, and anything that might slow
down your egress from a burning building.
 Make sure you have smoke alarms installed and you change their
batteries regularly. Dual-sensor smoke detectors are best, as they
feature both ionization and photoelectric smoke sensors. If they are wired
to the power in your home, that is best, but they should also have
battery backups. Change those batteries regularly.
 Keep household fire extinguishers handy. If the fire is serious, do not
try putting it out yourself. A household extinguisher can help keep a
small fire from spreading, or help you clear a path to a safe area. If you
live in a larger house, you may consider two on every floor, especially
near bedrooms, kitchens, furnaces, or water heaters.
During: Get Low, Get Out
During a house fire, escape should be your top priority. You may only
have seconds to get out safely. You likely would not have time to grab a go-bag

9
or run around the house collecting important items., Leave them and get out
as soon as possible. If a fire alarm has gone off in your building, you may have
a few moments. However, if there is a fire in your house, there is no time to
waste (http://lifehacker.com).
 Get to the nearest exit immediately. If there is smoke in the air, get as
low as possible where you may be able to breathe and feel your way out.
If there's smoke blocking your door, open the window. Before opening
any door, feel the doorknob and the door body. If it is warm or there is
smoke coming in from the other side, do not open the door-there may be
a raging fire on the other side. Use your second exit, even if it is a
window. If you have to open a door, open it slowly and be ready to shut it
if smoke comes in.
 Once you are out, contact emergency services. Do not wait to contact
them inside the house, Get out first. If you can't get to family members or
pets on the safe way Out, let them know when you call the emergency
services and let them know where is your exact location in the house.
 Do not go back into a burning building.
After: Stay Safe and Pick Up the Pieces
House fires are incredibly destructive. You likely would not be able to
return to your home until well after the danger has passed. Wait for the fire
department to tell you it is safe. Contact your insurance company, landlord,
mortgage company or any other relevant agencies to let them know about the
fire. When the fire department has given you the okay to go back inside, try to
collect valuable items like documents, records or irreplaceable items and
assess the damage. Before you leave a fire-damaged home, let the police know
that you are leaving and the place will be unoccupied-fire damaged properties
are often a target for burglars (http://lifehacker.com).
