EDUCATION
 A fire will double every 30 Seconds under
normal
conditions.

In as little as 3 minutes, a small fire can erupt into


a “FLASHOVER”.

A small fire produce enough smoke to fill a


can building in
minutes.

 Smoke
 Tearyresults
eyes in:
 Choking sensation
 Impaired judgment due to Carbon Monoxide (CO)
 Loss of spatial recognition
 Sedation effect - Respiratory failure 
Within minutes, air temperature in a burning room can
reach 300 degrees Celsius. This temperature is hot enough
to melt clothes, skin and scorch your lungs in one breathe.

 Temperatures can climb to between 650-760


degrees
Celsius.

 Most people who die in fires, die from breathing smoke


and toxic gases.

Carbon Oxide, Hydrogen Cyanide, Ammonia and


hundreds of other irritants attack your eyes, nose, throat
and lungs.

 They numb your senses and leave you dazed. 


TRIANGLE OF FIRE
Classes of Fire

and extinguishers
“ASH”
“BOILS”
“CURRENT”
Class C
Materials are:

“Energized” Electrical
Equipment & Cables

Always treat “C” fires as though power is still on!


Once the power has been removed, you can probably treat
it like a Class A or B fire, but remember that cables &
equipment can hold electricity even after the power is off!

“C” stands for “current”

First Key Element of Fire Safety

This can be done by educating everyone about fire safety


and promoting adherence to standard fire safety practices
based on observations and sounds recommendations of
experts. An awareness of its fatal dangers are more than
sufficient to keep our families safe from fire.
Your first important step is to IDENTIFY the most
likely causes of fire . After having determined that, you
then must do something to ELIMINATE or considerably
REDUCE these fire causes.
KITCHEN
Leaking gas stove, rubber hoses or tubing
Unattended candles or kerosene lamps
Improperly stored combustibles
Malfunctioning

BEDROOM
Overheating appliances

Carelessly discarded
cigarettes
LIVING ROOM
Overheated appliances

ALL ROOMS

Accumulated storage of
combustible materials

Electrical wirings, overloaded circuits, octopus plug –in outlets

Combustible furniture and fixtures, curtains, waste basket


• Refilling of highly flammable liquids
• Matches and lighters
• Exploding firecrackers
• Candles and kerosene
• One person doing several critical
activities at the same time
• Leaky LPG gas tanks and hoses
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR CLOTHES
CATCHES FIRE
The second element of fire safety

 INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS


Smoke detectors have and effective area of about 900
square feet. Ideally, there should be smoke detectors installed
at the following:
• On the ceiling of the sala or living room
• Along the hallways and corridors for every
level of building – particularly leading to the
bedrooms and exit.
•Inside storage areas, or enclosed unoccupied
rooms in the building/structures/premises
EFFECTIVE ALARM
ANNUNCIATING CAPABILITY

The fire alarm bells and sirens must be adequate in


number and placement, so that when they are sounded –
day or night – they can be HEARD BY ALL

It is a MUST TO ACTUALLY VERIFY AND ENSURE


that ALARM BELLS CAN BE HEARD AT NIGHT
through several layers of unit doors, despite the sound
muffing effects of carpets and curtains and the fact that
the occupants would most likely be in deep sleep.
The third element of Fire Safety

You do not have to be a well-trained, fully equipped


fireman to put out a small fire. You just need to have the
presence of mind in knowing what to do, and the
necessary firefighting equipment to do the job.
The most effective combination is:

EARLY DETECTION AND QUICK


REACTION
BASIC FIRE FIREFIGHTING
TOOLS
FIRE EXTINGUISHER We recommend the
ABC type for fighting multiple types of fire.

WATER SUPPLY On standby, readily, in pail


or bucket. If you have good water supply systems
(Always available, and in adequate flowing
pressure )
FIRE BLANKET To smoother any incipient
fire especially while cooking.

A BUCKET OF SAND Again, readily available


to spread over a smoldering fire
Electrical Equipments and Appliances
Unplug electrical appliances after use.
Precautions for Children
ELECTRICAL FIRE SAFETY
• Avoid using extension cords for long

• Keep extensions cords in plain view.
Don’t tuck them under carpets or
behind objects
• When leaving the house make sure all
electrical appliances are unplug.
• Don’t tamper with breakers or replace
fuses with ones of a higher amperage
CANDLES
• Place candles at least 1 meter
away from combustibles
• Make sure your candles won’t tip
by placing them in stable holders
on a flat surface
• Don’t leave candles unattended
• Make sure candles are
completely extinguished before
you leave.
COOKING-RELATED FIRES
• Never leave a hot stove
unattended
• Keep combustible material such
as potholders, paper towel and
oven mitts away from the stove
top
• Don’t try to move a flaming pan.
Cover it with a lid, and turn off
the burner
