OxygenDespite 21% of the Earth’s atmosphere being made up of oxygen, this small amount is just enough to both ignite a fire and sustain it, should the other two elements be present, too. A fire will only require 16% oxygen to burn, and so this oxidising agent will significantly accelerate the chemical reaction taking place.

FuelA fire cannot ignite without an object or material present to enable the fire to burn. Businesses and homes contain a variety of different combustible materials which will help to fuel a fire, including:– Wood– Paper– Oil– Fabrics

On the completed Module the User would return to the page below to continue with the other Topics prior to advancing to Assessment page.

WaterDescription: Red containerBest Use: Fires involving organic solid materials such as wood, cloth, paper, plastics, etc. Notice: Do not use on burning fat or oil or on electrical appliances. Operation: Aim the jet at the bottom of the flames and keep it moving across the area of the fire. Ensure that all areas of the fire are extinguished. How it works: Water stored pressure extinguishers cool burning material by absorbing heat from the burning material.

HeatHeat will also help to ignite a fire and keep it burning. As a combustible material succumbs to a fire, heat will be naturally produced. The only way in which this can be cooled is by the application of water (for some types of fire). Other fires may need to be doused in foam or other liquids or substances to either reduce the heat source or suffocate a fire.

FoamDescription: Foam extinguishers are red with a cream panel above the operating instructions Best Use: Fires involving solid and liquids such as grease, fats, oil, paint, petrol, etc. Can be used on Class A fires but not recommended. Notice: Do not use on domestic chip or fat pan fires. Check manufacturer’s instructions for suitability of use on other fires involving liquids. Operation: For fire involving liquids, do not aim the jet straight into the liquid. Where the liquid on fire is in a container, point the jet at the inside edge of the container or on a nearby surface above the burning liquid. Allow the foam to build up and flow across the liquid. How it works: This extinguisher type, which is generally applied to fuel fires, forms a frothy blanket or seal over the fire, thereby starving the fire of oxygen and cooling the fire through the evaporation of the water content in the foam. Unlike powder, foam can be used to progressively extinguish fires without flashback.

Wet ChemicalDescription: Red with a yellow panel above the operating instructions. Best for: The specialist wet chemical extinguishers are ideal for Class F fires, involving cooking oils and fats, such as lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, maize oil and butter. Notice: Check manufacturer’s instructions for suitability of use. These extinguishers are not recommended for class B fires and home use. Operation: Apply the wet chemical using the extended applicator in slow circular movements, which give a gentle, yet highly effective application. Apply the fine spray onto the burning fat until the surface of the burning cooking oil changes into a soapy like substance, this then prevents re-ignition. The gentle application helps prevent hot oil splashing onto the user. How it works: Most class F extinguishers contain a solution of potassium acetate, sometimes with some potassium citrate or potassium bicarbonate. Wet chemical fire extinguishers put out a fire by forming a soapy foam blanket over burning oil (saponification) and by cooling the oil below its ignition temperature. Generally used for class A and class F fires, this type of extinguisher is ideal for commercial kitchen cooking fat fires. This extinguisher type is not suitable for electrical fires.

Multipurpose Dry Powder Description: Powder fire extinguishers are red with a blue panel, are either ABC or BC rated.Best Use: Dry powder fire extinguishers are safe to be used on fires involving electrical equipment (remember to look for the electrical safety pictogram.) and are excellent all-round fire extinguishers and for use on organic solids, liquids such as grease, fats, oil, paint, petrol etc. Notice: Not on domestic chip or fat pan fires and never mix dry powder types. Dry powder extinguishers are not suitable for use in enclosed spaces such as offices, hotels, schools, etc, as the fire-fighting agent creates a cloud that can obscure vision. The contents may also create breathing problems. Operation: Point the jet or discharge horn at the base of the flames and, with a rapid sweeping motion, drive the fire towards the far edge until all the flames are out. If the extinguisher has a shut-off control wait until the air clears and if you can still see the flames, attack the fire again. How it works: Powder based fire extinguishers separate the four parts of the “fire tetrahedron”. This prevents the chemical reaction between heat, fuel and oxygen and halts the production of fire sustaining “free-radicals”, thus extinguishing the fire.

C02 Carbon Dioxide Description: Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are coloured bright red with a black panel above the operating instructions. They have a distinctive horn-shaped nozzle at the side with the 5kgs and above units having a hose and horn. The extinguisher sounds a loud sound when started.Best Use: The only fire extinguisher recommended for fires involving electrical equipment. They are also effective on Class B fires (flammable liquids).Notice: Do not use on domestic chip or fat pan fires. Fumes from CO2 extinguishers can be harmful if used in confined spaces. Do not hold the horn whilst in use as it becomes very cold. Operation: The discharge horn should be directed at the base of the flames and the jet kept moving across the area of the fire. The extinguisher works on classes B and C and works by suffocating the fire. How it works: CO2 is a clean gaseous agent which displaces oxygen suffocating the fire as it cools.
