(burning) of fuel. The following three elements must
be present at the same time in order for a fire to start
Also,Fire is the result of combustion of organic material and oxygen. For
example
CH4 + 202 = CO2 + 2H2O

• Determine what is burning.
• Use the right type of extinguisher for fighting
the fire. Use the fire extinguisher only if you
have attended practical training.
• Always position yourself with an exit or means
of escape behind you before you attempt to
use an extinguisher to put out a fire
• If the person who notices the fire feels that it
cannot be tackled by extinguishers, he can
directly inform the fire station without delay.
• On hearing the alarm evacuate the building
and assemble at the designated assembly
point.
• As you evacuate close the doors of the
rooms(do not lock) as this will slow down the
spread of smoke and fire.

Fire Safety - Theory Module
Single stage alarms that are 'Stand alone' are not directly linked to the
switchboard
TWO STAGE ALARM
Two-stage alarms have the ability to sound continuously in the
area affected and intermittently in other areas that the alarm
covers.
This allows identification of the area involved, but not the precise
location
Analogue Addressable Alarms
Analogue addressable alarms have the ability to sound
continuously in the area involved and intermittently in the other
areas covered by the alarm.
This alarm identifies not only the area involved but also the
precise location
Portable Extinguishers - FIRE
BLANKET
Fire Blankets are used to smother chip pan, waste bin and deep
fat fires.
In addition, a fire blanket can also be used to wrap around the
body of a person and smother the flames if their clothes are on
fire.
Fixed Installations
These include:
•Water sprinkler - this is a system of pipes through which water is
delivered to the sprinkler heads.
•Carbon Dioxide - an example of this would be fitted in the main
electrical intake rooms for the hospital.
•Inergen - this would be fitted into a computer server and power
supply room.
Fire Exits
Ensure that you know the evacuation routes from your area of
work and where they lead to. These routes and exits need to
be available at all times that the building is occupied.
Be aware of obstructions or alterations to these routes and
report if necessary .
