Fire Control

• is the practice of reducing the heat output of a fire, reducing the area over which the fire exists,
or suppressing or extinguishing the fire by depriving it of fuel,oxygen, or heat

• Fire control is the practice of limiting the spread of fires through techniques like fire suppression
and prevention. This term can also be seen in use in a military context, to describe the operation
and control of weapons systems with a high degree of accuracy and safety for operators as well
as troops on the ground. For the purpose of this article, the focus is on its use in fire science.

• Fires rely on fuel, oxygen, and heat, the three components of what fire crews refer to as “the 
fire triangle.” Taking out any one leg of the triangle causes it to collapse, suppressing the fire.
Fire crews can use tools like fire foams and water to limit the supply of oxygen, for example, or
they can create a buffer zone to eliminate fuel. Fire control can include automated systems as
well as fire crews on the ground.
Steps to be taken for avoid/control Fire accidents:

• Functioning and operation of fire safety devices like

Fire Extinguisher has to be explained to the residents of high raised
buildings/employees  in offices through periodical training.
•  Comprehensive fire & emergency instructions have to be displayed
at a prominent location.
• Fire alarm system is to be installed.
• Smoke detectors are to be provided in the server room and other
areas of computer installations and are tested regularly to ensure
their working condition.
Fire safety checklist
• Keep the area clean
• Watch the storing systems
• Ensure no inflammable fuel around the switch boards
• Proper and identifiable circuit breakers
• Proper marking of exit routes and doors
• Unobstructed exit routes and doors
• Proper size of exit points
• Opening system of emergency/fire exists
• Location of fire extinguishers
