8. 7 FIRE TRIANGLE Class to explain how they will start a fire Match stick Lighter Flint

9. 8 FIRE TRIANGLE ELEMENTS OF FIRE: Match stick / gas=Fuel Scraping against flint=Heat Supporting combustion =Oxygen

10. 9 FIRE TRIANGLE OXYGEN FUEL HEAT FIRE

11. 10 FIRE TRIANGLE ELEMENTS OF FIRE: Oxygen Atmosphere consists of 21% Oxygen Fire only need around 16% Oxygen to exist  Oxygen does not burn but supports combustion

12. 11 FIRE EMERGENCIES FIRE EMERGENCY RESPONSE Know department emergency procedures and evacuation routesKnow department emergency procedures and evacuation routes Know locations of extinguishersKnow locations of extinguishers Always sound the alarm regardless of fire sizeAlways sound the alarm regardless of fire size Avoid smoky conditionsAvoid smoky conditions Ensure area is evacuatedEnsure area is evacuated 
