FIRE SAFETY

Introduction and Unit Overview The role of CERTs in fire safety:  Put out small fires.  Prevent additional fires.  Shutoff utilities  Assist with evacuations where necessary.

Unit Objectives  Explain the role of CERTs in fire safety.  Identify and reduce potential fire risks in the home and workplace.  Conduct a basic sizeup for a fire emergency.  Understand basic safety precautions.  Extinguish small fires using a fire extinguisher.

The Fire Triangle  Heat  Fuel  Oxygen

Fire Chemistry Fires are classified according to type of fuel feeding the fire.  A: Ordinary combustibles  B: Flammable and combustible liquids  C: Energized electrical equipment  D: Combustible metals

Fire Chemistry Classes of fire:  A: Ordinary combustibles  B: Flammable and combustible liquids  C: Energized electrical equipment  D: Combustible metals Dry chemical extinguishers (Used for Type A, B and C Fires)

Reducing Fire Hazards in Home and Workplace  Avoid the “electrical octopus.”  Don’t run cords under carpets.  Replace broken or frayed cords.  Maintain appliances.

Reducing Fire Hazards in Home and Workplace  Install a natural gas detector.  Locate and label gas shutoffs.  After being turned off during an emergency natural gas must be restored only by a trained technician.

Reducing Fire Hazards in Home and Workplace  Read labels.  Use L.I.E.S. storage procedures  Limit  Isolate  Eliminate  Separate incompatible chemicals).  Store flammable liquids away from heat sources.

CERT sizeup Answer these questions:  Can my buddy and I fight the fire safely?  Do we have the right equipment?  Are there other hazards?  Is the building structurally damaged?  Can we escape?

CERT Size-up 1.Gather Facts. 2.Assess Damage. 3.Consider Probabilities. 4.Assess Your Situation. 5.Establish Priorities. 6.Make Decisions. 7.Develop Plans of Action. 8.Take Action. 9.Evaluate Progress.

Firefighting Resources Resources available:  Portable fire extinguishers  Dry chemical (Used for Type A,B and C Fires) Classes of fire: A: Ordinary combustibles B: Flammable and combustible liquids C: Energized electrical equipment  Wet standpipes  Confinement  “Creative” resources

Types of Fire Extinguishers  Water  Dry chemical (Used for Type A,B and C Fires)  Carbon dioxide  Specialized fire extinguisher

P.A.S.S  Pull  Aim  Squeeze  Sweep Test the extinguisher before approaching any fire.

Fire Suppression Safety Do:  Use safety equipment.  Helmet  Boots  Goggles,  Gloves  Dust mask  Work in a buddy system.  Have a backup team.  Have two ways to exit.  Feel doors for heat from the bottom up, with the back of your hand, before entering a room.  Isolate the fire (Close doors behind you)  Maintain a safe distance.  Overhaul the fire.

Fire Suppression Safety DON’T  Try to suppress large fires.  CERTs should only suppress fires that are “trash can size” or smaller.  Get too close.  Fight it alone.  Enter smoke-filled areas.
