1 Disaster Fire Suppression1 Safety and Fire Suppression Techniques

2 Disaster Fire Suppression2 Module 2 - Fire Suppression, Utility Control and Safety

3 Disaster Fire Suppression3 Module 2 - Fire Suppression, Utility Control and Safety n Fire suppression is the topic in Class 2. n Fire chemistry, fire extinguisher use, utility control, ventilation, creative fire fighting techniques, and hazardous materials placarding systems are reviewed and/or practiced.

4 Disaster Fire Suppression4 Module 2 - Points for the Instructor n Disaster fire suppression stresses safety considerations, such as working in the buddy system, and back-up teams are introduced. n It is imperative to stress safety by setting the proper example during tabletop demonstrations, and most importantly during the actual fire extinguishing portion of the class.

5 Disaster Fire Suppression5 Module 2 -Methodology n The lesson uses a PowerPoint slide presentation and overhead transparencies, as well as a classroom tabletop demonstration of fire characteristics. n Participants will also apply what they learned about portable fire extinguishers by extinguishing a flammable liquid fire.

6 Disaster Fire Suppression6 Modules 2,3,4, and 5 n Teaches the greatest good for the greatest number of people. n Necessary goal of disaster recovery. n Teaches problem-solving skills based on lifelong learning. n Teaches citizens how to be resourceful.

7 Disaster Fire Suppression7 Basic Safety and Fire Suppression Techniques n Role of the CERT in fire suppression.

8 Disaster Fire Suppression8 Basic Safety and Fire Suppression Techniques n Size-up. n Fire chemistry. n Fire extinguisher types and usage. n Hazardous materials recognition. n Utility control.

9 Disaster Fire Suppression9 CERT Size-Up Take Action 8. Evaluate Progress 9. 5.6.7. 1.2.3.4. Establish Priorities Make Decisions Develop Action Plans Gather Facts Assess Damage Consider Probabilities Assess Your Situation

10 Disaster Fire Suppression10 Size-up n Starts before the incident. n Fact gathering mission. n Assess situation. n Use the Acronym A.P.I.E.

11 Disaster Fire Suppression11 A.P.I.E. n Analyze the situation. n Plan the action. n Implement the plan. n Evaluate your progress.

12 Disaster Fire Suppression12 Fire Chemistry n How do fires start and what keeps them burning?

13 Disaster Fire Suppression13 Fire Chemistry n Fuel n Heat n Oxygen

14 Disaster Fire Suppression14 Fire Extinguisher Types and Usage

15 Disaster Fire Suppression15 Fire Extinguisher Types and Usage n Type A Ordinary n Type B Flammable n Type C Electrical n Type D Combustible Metals

21 Disaster Fire Suppression21 Hazardous Materials Recognition n Before Beginning to fight fires, CERT members must understand how the abundance of hazardous materials will effect the post disaster environment.

22 Disaster Fire Suppression22 Safe Home Storage Procedures n L.I.E.S. –Limit the amount of hazardous material –Isolate hazardous products –Eliminate products –Separate incompatible materials HAZARD

23 Disaster Fire Suppression23 Hazards at Home n Natural gas hazards –Non-toxic but may displace oxygen causing asphyxiation –Explosive –Lighter than air GASOLINE GA

24 Disaster Fire Suppression24 Hazards at Home n Propane gas hazards –BBQ grills, Hot tubs, and heating –Heavier than air and will seek out a source of ignition –Will displace oxygen in an enclosed room causing asphyxiation

25 Disaster Fire Suppression25 Warning Placards n NFPA 704 Placard System –0 - No special hazard –1 - Nuisance hazard –2 - Can be fought with standard firefighting procedures –3 - Extremely hazardous situation –4 - Too dangerous to approach

26 Disaster Fire Suppression26 Warning Placards Avoid use of water REACTIVE 4 May detonate -- Vacate area if materials are ex- posed to fire 3 Strong shock or heat may detonate--Use monitors from behind explosion resistant barriers 2 Violent chemical change possible-- Use hose streams from distance 1 Unstable if heated -- Use normal precautions 0 Normally stable FLAMMABLE 2 Ignites when moder- ately heated 1 Must be preheat- ed to burn 0 Will not burn 4 Extremely flammable 3 Ignites at normal temper- atures HEALTH 4 Too dangerous to enter vapor or liquid 3 Extremely dangerous-- Use full protective clothing 2 Hazardous--Use breathing apparatus 1 Slightly hazardous 0 Like ordinary material W

27 Disaster Fire Suppression27 Warning Placards n Color indicates the type of hazard possessed by the chemical. n Red n Green n Yellow n Black and White n Orange

28 Disaster Fire Suppression28 Warning Placards Orange Red Green Yellow White RedRed & White Yellow & White Black & White 8 EXPLOSIVE A FLAMMABLE GAS NONFLAMMABLE GAS POISON GAS FLAMMABLE LIQUID FLAMMABLE LIQUID OXIDIZER ORGANIC UNKNOWN? POISON IRRITANT RADIOACTIVE CORROSIVE 1 2 3 2 2 5 5 6 6 7 4

29 Disaster Fire Suppression29 Utility Hazards n Common electrical hazards and simple ways that they can be reduced or eliminated: –Electrical octopus –Under carpets –Frayed cords immediately

30 Disaster Fire Suppression30 Utility Hazards / Control n Power and Water shut-off –Circuit breakers or fuses

31 Disaster Fire Suppression31 Utility Hazards / Control n Natural Gas Hazards –Now how to shut off the gas
