- LEAVING ATLEAST 162 PEOPLE DEAD
- OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AS THE WORST FIRE IN PHILS HISTORY
- 10 WORST NIGHTCLUB FIRES IN THE WORLD
FIRE-> composed of fuel,heat,oxygen, chemical reaction
-undergo-> ignition growth full development decay
- requires RACE, PASS-> STOP, DROP, AND ROLL

FIRE IS A SINGLE OBJECT BUT IS ACTUALLY MADE UP OF THREE COMPONENT

THAT MAKE UP THE FIRE TRIANGLE.

IN ORDER TO PRODUCE FIRE THERE MUST BE THREE THINGS;

1. FUEL-> FUEL- TO BE BURN
2. OXYGEN-> TO ADD IN COMBUSTION
3. FUEL-> IS THE FUEL TO ITS IGNITION POINT

WHAT IS FIRE?
 -. IS A PROCESS THAT INVOLVES THE RAPID OXIDATION OF OBJECTS AT
ELEVATED TEMPERATURE WHICH PRODUCES SMOKE, HEAT AND LIGHT.
-. MONTH OF MARCH OR THE FIRE PREVENTION MONTH

THE COMMON CAUSES OF FIRE CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO THREE MAIN

CATEGORIES:
1.CARELESSNESS AND ACCIDENTS-> ENGINE IGNITION DUE TO PROLONGED
EXPOSURE TO HEAT
-> IMPROPER USE OF PROPANE OR LPG
POWERED STOVES
 FRYING PAN UNATTENDE
2.ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT-.> OCTUPOS CONNECTIONS
3.SMOKING OR LIGHTNING OF MATERIALS-.> CANDLE, FIRE CRACKERS,
MATCHES.

IGNITION PHASE:
- 3 COMPONENTS FIRE TRIANGLE- OXYGEN, HEAT, FUEL
 - FIRE AT THIS STAGE CAN PUT OUT

GROWTH PHASE;
- HEAT TRANSFER
- SPREAD THE HEAT
- INCREASE OF THE FIRE
- THE PLUMES MAY REACH THE CEILING
THE DEVELOPED PHASE OR FREE BURNING PHASE:
- CONNECTION THROUGH THE RISING OF HEATED GASES
- CARRIES HEAT TO CEILING
- HEATED GASES SPREAD OUT
- SIDEWAYS FROM TOP TO DOWNWARD
DECAY PHASE OR BURNOUT PHASE
- AREA WHERE THE FIRE ID CONFINED
- FIRE CONSUMED ALL THE AVAILABLE FUEL
- FIRE SLOWLY BECOMES LESS INTENSE
- HOWEVER, THIS STAGE IS STILL DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF BURNING
EMBERS.

CLASSESS OF FIRE:
A-> ORDINARY COMBUSTION-> WOOD,PAPER,CLOTH ETC
B-> FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS-> GREASE OIL, PAINT, SOLVENTS
C-.> LIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT-> ELECTRICAL PANEL, MOTOR, WIRING
D-> COMBUSTIBLE METAL-> MAGNESIUM, ALUMINUM ETC.
K->COMMERCIAL COOKING-> COOKING OIL,ANIMAL FATS, VEGETABLES OIL

I-> IN
T->THE
H->HOUSE
EVACUATION PLAN- KNOWING EXITS
-PRACTICING PLAN THROUGH DRILLS
- PRACTICED BY ALL FAMILY MEMBERS
RACE:
RESCUE->ANYONE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER
ALARM- >PULL NEAREST FIRE ALARM
CONTAIN-> FIRE BY CLOSING ALL DOORS IN THE FIRE AREAS
EXTINGUISH-> SMALL FIRE, IF NOT LEAVE THE AREA AND CLOSE THE DOOR

PASS: HOW TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISH

PULL-> THE PIN
AIM-> AT THE BASE OF FIRE
SQUEEZE-> THE LEVER
SWEEP-> FROM THE SIDE TO SIDE
THREE:
STOP-
DROP
ROLL
IF YOUR CLOTHES CATCH FIRE, STOP RUNNING OR MOVING.
DROP OR LIE DOWN THE GROWN
ROLL TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAME
