INTRODUCTION
Just imagine life without FIRE, fire is one of
the most essential requirement of Human being for their survival. Fire has substantial role in Development of Society. No industry could be run without the use of fire. But all these fires must be under proper control. As long as fire is under control it is an obedient servant, If the fire goes out of control then it is worst enemy also. So it is quite essential to control the fire. Accidental industrial fires results loss of man hours, property and production. Burning is an irreversible process and results

Fire safety can be defined as the knowledge of facts leading to prevention & control of fire.

Fire Safety is Everyones

Fire Safety Begins with

What is Fire

FIRE is an associated series of chemical reactions, which releases the energy stored in

THEORY OF FIRE OR COMBUSTION

Combustion is a chemical reaction in between fuel and oxygen in presence of heat.

CONCEPT OF TETRAHEDRON OF FIRE

Reducing Agent (fuel) Oxidizing Agent (oxygen) Temperature Uninhibited Chain Reactions

THEORY OF TETRAHEDRON FIRE

OF

The theory states that when energy is applied to a fuel on unpaired electron attached to one of the molecular fragments caused by damaged (cut or break) of the bond. This creates free radicals. This molecular fragments with unpaired electron or damaging bond is highly reactive, because its existence is against the low of nature. It will se4ek out some other materials to reacts with to satisfy each fragment by acted rule. The same energy source that provided the necessary energy to break. The carbon to carbon bond may have also broken, some carob to hydrogen bonds creating more free radicals.

REDUCING AGENT
Carbon Carbon Monoxide Many compounds of rich carbon and hydrogen Readily oxidizable nonmetals such sulphur and phosphorous. Cellulose substance such as wood, textile. Many metal like Al, Mg, Ti, Zn and alkali metals Na, KOH.

OXIDIZING AGENT:
An oxidizing agent is a material that provides the oxygen necessary for the oxidation reduction reaction of the diffusion flame combustion process. Eg. Oxygen and ozone (Air) Hydrogen peroxide Halogens such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. Concentrated HNO3 and H2SO4 Oxides of heavy metals, particularly those involving high valency such as manganese dioxide and lead dioxide.

TEMPERATURE
Temperature is a measure of the molecular velocity occurring within a substance or material. The term temperature is heat. The heat interacting with the fuel and oxygen mixtures

UNINHIBITED CHAIN REACTION:

It is the velocity of intermolecular collision between fuel and oxygen molecules. He point out the sources of activation energy other than heat and expands the concept to any form of activation energy.
