Theory of Fire? Fire: Fire is a rapid oxidation process, which is chemical reaction resulting in the evolution of light and heat in varying intensities. (NFPA - 921) Four components of Fire Fuel Heat Oxygen Chain ReactionTheory of Fire?

In other words, the chain reaction provides the heat necessary to maintain the fire.Extinction Of Fire ‘SMOTHERING Removal of Oxygen ecole by Aoading th ea with arr ga ‘thn ses a surhsscatton Ds e602 Foam Fre Exngushro Fe Blanket,‘enor ape lath ber than ates CB cms- canst tonite snes cen oonctomen eaten mene onie oaths saengenscrenrmae conasetenimar het sai E) cms. les tenes iolng edt pment so ceoutrs teres tes Suite nore hcbeconen of of oer lessee CB ctass-v ewes mcanbtl ntl eh es, tan om iin epsonClass K fires are fires in cooking oils and greases such as animal and vegetable fats. Some types of fire extinguishing agents can be used on more than one class of fire. Others have warnings where it would be dangerous for the operator to use on a particular fire extinguishing agent.
