The factors that control fire Fuel: + Any substance, liquid, solid, or gas will burn if given oxygen and @ high enough temperature: Heat: 4 + Every fuelwill begin to burn at a certain temperature. A * Solids and liquids give of vapor when heated and itis this vapor which ignites + Some liquids give off vapor even at normal room temperature say 15° C, e.g. petrol ) Oxygen: 2 + Usually, itexistsin sufficient quality in the air tokeep a fire burning. Extinguishing of fires: ~ Isolating or removing any of these factors from the combination will extinguish the fire. There are three basic ways of achieving this: 1. Starvingthe fire of fuel by removing the fuelin the vicinity of the fire 2. Smothering, ie. by isolating the fire fromthe supply of oxygenby blanketing it with foam, sand, ete. 3. Cooling, ie. by using water to lower the temperature, ie. by removingheat.

Water filled extinguishers There are two methods of operation + Gas cartridge type + Storedpressure type There are four dif ferenttypes of water extinguishers, 1. Waterjet 2. Water spray 3. Water with additives 4. Water mist or fog Waterjet + Waterjet extinguishers work by spraying a jet of water at thebuming materials, cooling them and preventing re-gnition + They should not be used on live electrical equipment Water spray + Water spray extinguishers use a very fine spray of water droplets, each dropletis surrounded by air which is non-conductive. Mostwater spray frre extinguishers carry a 35 kV dielectric test approval which means they have been testedon a 35,000 Volt electrical source at one meter. Waterwith additive + Water extinguishers with additives are water extinguishers with foaming chemicals added, The water loses its natural surface tension meaning that it can soak into the buming materials more ef fectivelyAdding the chemicals to the water means that a smaller extinguisher can produce the same firerating as a larger, water only, extinguisher Water mist or fog + Water mist, or fog, extinguishers apply water in the form of mist, or fog, the droplets are much smaller than those from the water spray extinguisher Thesmaller the droplet, the larger its surface area in relation toits size, the quicker the droplet evaporates which absorbs the heat energy faster. The downside is the smaller the droplet the less it weighs and thereforethe less powerful the cloud of water.Fire Extinguisher Triangle * Waterextinguisherextinguishesthe fire fromthe above triangle with the combinationof oxygen.
