The factors that contro! fire: Fuel: 4 + Any substance, liquid, solid, or gas will burn if given oxygen and a high enough temperatures Heat: Vf a + Every fuel will begin to burn at a certain temperature. + Solids and liquids give off vapor when heated and itis this vapor which ignites) + Some liquids give off vapor even at normal room temperature sa'15°.C, e.9. petrol Oxygen: = + Usually, itexists in sufficient quality in the airté'keeo affiré buming 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. Starving the fire of fuel by removing the fuel in the vicinity of the fire. 2. Smothering, ie. by Isolating the fire from the supply of oxygen by blanketing it with foam, sand, ete. 3. Cooling, i2. by using water to lower the temperature, ie by removing heat.

Water-filled extinguishers There are two methods of operation + Gas cartridge type + Stored pressure type There are four different types of water extinguishers: 1. Water jet 2. Water spray 3. Water with additives 4. Water mist or fog Water jet + Water jet extinguishers work by spraying a jet of water at the burning materials, cooling them and preventing re-ignition. + They should not be used on live electrical equipment Water spray + Water spray extinguishers use a very fine spray of water droplets, each droplet is surrounded by air which '$ non-conductive. Most water spray fire extinguishers carry a 35 kV dielectric test approval which means they have been tested on a 35,000 Volt electrical source at one meter. Water with 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 burning materials more effectively. Adding the chemicals to the water means that 2 smaller extinguisher can produce the same fire rating 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. The smaller the droplet, the larger its surface area in relation to its size, the quicker the droplet evaporates which absorbs the heat energy faster The downside is the smaller the droplet the less it weighs and therefore the less powerful the cloud of water.Fire Extinguisher Triangle + Water extinguisher extinguishes the fire from the above triangle with the combination of oxygen. Classes of fire Extinguishing Class “ar | Mosteffective Le. cooling with water. Jets of water should be sprayed on the base of the fire and then gradually upwards. {Should be smothered. The aim is to cover the entire surface o Class 'pr the burning quid. This has the effect of cutting off the supply of oxygen to the fire, Water should never be used on burning liquids. Dry powder extinguishers are used on this type of fire. Special Class “C* powders have now been developed which are capable of controlling and/or extinguishing this type of fire Carbon dioxide, dry powder and vapourising liquid (CTC) extinguishers can be used to deal with fires in electrical Class" equipment.
