Basic Fire Fighting

Safety: Basic Fire Fighting

The knowledge of Basic Fire Fighting is needed to prevent, control & extinguish small fires safely & effectively. This knowledge is necessary for everyone to know so they can handle fires in the workplace, home & other public areas.

Prevent fires by:
- Recognizing fire hazards: Flammable materials, faulty electrical equipment, uncontrolled fires

- Maintaining equipment regularly
- Avoiding overloading electrical outlets

Important Keys about Fire:
- Fire needs 3 elements to burn: Heat, fuel & oxygen
- Extinguish the fire by removing one of the 3 elements: Closing the fire with a blanket will remove the oxygen, or cooling the fire with water will reduce the heat

Fire Extinguisher Technique:
- Pull the pin to open the extinguisher
- Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire
- Press the handle to release the extinguishing agent
- Spray from side to side to fight the fire

Warning:
- Evacuate immediately if the fire becomes too big
