Steps To Extinguishing A Fire Training Ppt

Slide 1

This slide talks about the methods that can be used to extinguish a fire. According to the fire tetrahedron, the four necessary elements for igniting a fire are heat, fuel, oxygen, and chemical chain reaction. One or more of these factors must be removed to put out a fire effectively. Fire extinguishing techniques can be categorized based on the removal of these factors.

Slide 2

This slide discusses the cooling technique to extinguish a fire. Removing heat is one of the best methods for putting out a fire. Water is the most widely used fire extinguishing agent as it can absorb the heat that the fire produces.

Slide 3

This slide talks about the smothering technique to extinguish a fire. Smothering is a fire extinguishing technique where oxygen is removed from the fire tetrahedron. This can be done by smothering a pan with a fire blanket, introducing carbon dioxide or an inert gas within the immediate vicinity of the fire, etc.

Slide 4

This slide discusses the starving technique to extinguish a fire. There are many ways to do this, including restricting the flow of liquid or gaseous fuel, eliminating solid fuel from the fire's path, or letting the fire burn until all of the fuel is consumed.

Slide 5

This slide talks about interrupting the combustion process as a technique to extinguish a fire. You can use specific fire extinguishing tools such as dry powder, bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF), and other halon extinguishers.
