Fire Extinguishing Training for Fire Fighters

Objective Understand basic firefighting concepts: About Fire R.A.C.E P.A.S.S Know what to do if you find a fire Be able to correctly and safely select and use a fire extinguisher

What is Fire? Fire is the rapid combination of oxygen with fuel in the presence of heat, typically characterized by flame, a body of incandescent gas that contains and sustains the reaction and emits light and heat. Ex: The process of combustion of flammable materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke.

Need all three components (Heat, Fuel and Oxygen) to start a fire How Does Fire work? Three components Need all three components (Heat, Fuel and Oxygen) to start a fire Fire extinguishers remove one or more of the components

Stages of Fire: Ignition- This is First stage, when material starts to burn. Smoke- This is second stages, when Visible by products are released. Flame- This is third stage, glowing heated and gaseous stage of Fire.

Characteristic of Fire: Fire is First! There is only little time. Fire is Hot! Heat is more threatening than flames. Fire is Dark! Fire isn’t bright, its pitch black Fire is Deadly! Smoke and toxic gases kill more people than flames do.

Oxygen Required to Support Life & Fire

Methods of Heat Transfer: Conduction This type of heat transfer occurs inside solid material. The heat from the fire will travel along the length of material. Convection This type of heat transfer occurs only in liquids & gases. Here fire produces hot air and spread it to everywhere.

Classification of Fire There are four types of Fire. Class “A” - Ordinary Combustibles Class “B” - Flammable Liquids Class “C” - Electrical Class “D” – Combustibles Metals

Class A Ordinary Combustibles Trash Wood Cloth Paper Rubber Plastics

Class B Flammable Liquids Gasoline Oil Grease Tar Oil-based point Lacquer Flammable gases

Class C Electrical Energized Electrical Equipment

Class D Combustible Metals Magnesium Sodium Potassium Titanium Zirconium Other Flammable Metals

Fire Extinguisher Types PRESSURIZED WATER Class “A” fire only. 2.5 gal. Water- approximately 1 minute discharge time Range 30-40 feet

Fire Extinguisher Types (cont.) MULTIPURPOSE DRY CHEMICAL Class “A”,“B” or “C” fires 2.5 -20 lb. dry chemical 8-25 seconds discharge time Range 5-20 ft.

Fire Extinguisher Types (cont.) HALON Class “D” combustible metal fires only. 30 lb pressurized dry powder optimized for specific combustible metal Range 6-8 ft. To activate, must first open nitrogen cylinder on back to pressurize body

Fire Emergency Response Procedure Rescue Alarm Contain Extinguish R A FIRE E X T I N G U S H R C E

Before you fight the fire Ensure area is evacuated Always sound the alarm regardless of fire size Know location of Extinguishers in your area and how to use them Know department emergency procedures and evacuation routes

Criteria for fighting the fire Fire is small and contained You have safe egress (EXIT) route (can be reached without exposure) Available extinguisher are rated size and type of fire

When fighting the fire, remember To keep an exit to your back When the fire extinguisher is empty- Get Out When you leave the building, do not go back in.

When not to fight a fire Fire has spread beyond its point of origin Your escape Path is threatened The area is smoke filled Your instincts tell you get out

Aim low at the base of flames Fighting the Fire P Pull the pin A Aim low at the base of flames S Squeeze the handle S Sweep side to side

P.A.S.S. Method Pull The Pin This will allow you to squeeze the handle in order to discharge the extinguisher.

Aim At Aim At The Base Of The Fire P.A.S.S. Method Aim At Aim At The Base Of The Fire Aiming at the middle will do no good. The agent will pass through the flames.

This will release the pressurized extinguisher agent. P.A.S.S. Method Squeeze the handle This will release the pressurized extinguisher agent.

P.A.S.S. Method Sweep side to side Cover the entire area that is on fire. Continue until fire is extinguished. Keep an eye on the area for re-lighting.
