FIRE AND FIRE HAZARD
DEFINITION OF FIRE

"the active principle of burning,

characterized by the heat and light
of combustion.”
RA 9514 or Revised Fire Code of the Philippines of 2008
CHEMISTRY – COMBUSTION REACTION

HYDROCARBONS + O₂  CO₂ +
H₂O
CHEMISTRY – COMBUSTION REACTION

CH₄ + O₂  CO₂ + H₂O

C₂H₆ + O₂  CO₂ + H₂O
C₃H₈ + O₂  CO₂ + H₂O
C₁₀H₈ + O₂  CO₂ + H₂O

DEVELOPMENT OF FIRE

1.INCIPIENT PHASE
2.GROWTH PHASE
3.FULLY DEVELOPED PHASE
4.DECAY PHASE
DEVELOPMENT OF FIRE

1.INCIPIENT PHASE
-Ignition stage/ THE SPARK
-It is when the fuel and oxygen
reacted to the heat available
-Manageable fire
DEVELOPMENT OF FIRE

2. GROWTH PHASE
-Shortest phase
-Heat maximizes available
oxygen and fuel to rapidly
turn ito medium to large fire.
DEVELOPMENT OF FIRE

3. FULLY DEVELOPED PHASE

-Hottest and most dangerous
-All fuel and oxygen are ignited
-Smokes and failures of structures
are expected
-Escape is extremely hard
DEVELOPMENT OF FIRE

4. DECAY PHASE
-Longest phase
-Residual heat from
extinguished fire can cause
another fire or backdraft
FIRE EXTINGUISHER

eliminate one component
of fire and alleviate its
effect.

Types:
Water Extinguishers
- themost common fire extinguisher type for class A fire
risk.
- Most premises will require either water or foam
extinguishers.
- The water has a cooling effect on the fuel, causing it to
burn much more slowly until the flames are eventually
extinguished.
Types:
Foam Extinguishers
- aremost common type of fire extinguisher for Class B
fires, but also work on Class A fires as they are water-
based.
- Aswith water extinguishers, foam extinguishers have a
cooling effect on the fuel.
- Onburning liquids, the foaming agent creates a barrier
between the flame and the fuel, extinguishing the fire.
Types:
Dry Powder Extinguishers
- Standard dry powder extinguishers are also called 'ABC' extinguishers
because they tackle class A, B and C fires, however they are not
recommended for use in enclosed spaces.
- This is because the powder can be easily inhaled, and also the residue
is very difficult to clean up after.
- ABC powder extinguishers can also be used on some electrical fires.
- Specialist dry powder extinguishers are used for flammable metals.
- Dry powder extinguishers smother fires by forming a barrier between
the fuel and the source of oxygen.
Types:
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extinguishers
- CO2 extinguishers are predominantly used for electrical
fire risks and are usually the main fire extinguisher type
provided in computer server rooms.
- They also put out Class B fires (flammable liquids, such as
paint and petroleum).
- CO2 extinguishers suffocate fires by displacing the oxygen
the fire needs to burn.
Types:
Wet Chemical Extinguishers
- Wet chemical extinguishers are designed for use on Class F/K fires,
involving cooking oils and fats.
- They can also be used on Class A fires although it is more usual to
have a foam or water extinguisher for this type of fire risk.
- Wet chemical extinguishers create a layer of foam on the surface of
the burning oil or fat, preventing oxygen from fueling the fire any
further.
- The spray also has a cooling effect.
