01. What is Fire.?

Fire is a chemical reaction of

three components:

 Oxygen
 Fuel
 Heat

Fire Triangle

o Fire Triangle or Combustion

Triangle is a sample model
for understanding the
necessary ingredients for
fire.
 6

Fire Tetrahedron

Fire tetrahedron can be describe as

pyramid which is solid having four
faces:
 Oxygen
 Fuel
 Heat
 Chemical Reaction
 7

The Spread of Fire

o Direct contact - in their early

stage, fires spread most entirely
by contact of flame to
combustible object.

o Conduction – transferred of
heat through solid materials.
 8

The Spread of Fire

 Convection – transferred of
heat by air movement, hot air
rises due to reduced density

 Radiation – heat transferred

from one surface to another
across the space

Fire Extinguishing Method

Starvation

Starvation is the process of depriving the

fire from fuel. i.e. combustible materials.
Or
Remove fuel from fire.

Fire Extinguishing Method

Smothering

Smothering is the process of depriving the

fire of oxygen needed to sustain the fire.
Or
Remove Oxygen from fire.
 31

Fire Prevention & Fire

Protection
1. Fire Prevention:
It is a proactive steps taken to reduce fire
hazards so that a fire does not have a chance
to ignite.

2. Fire Protection:
It is a reactive approach which minimize
potential damage or loss.
 34

Fire Prevention & Fire

Protection
1. Fire Prevention
o Fire safety plan (approved)
o Risk assessment (update every 6 month)
o Workplace Inspections (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly)
o Fire safety trainings (induction, annually)
o Regular fire drills
o Preventive maintenance (as per requirements)
o Housekeeping Management
o Material Management (5-S Technique)
