THE FIRE TRIANGLE• Fire is the state of combustion resulting from a chemical

reaction that reuires the presence of three elements inproper combination !

  " a fuel source #anything that burns$%

" oxygen #a component of air$% and

" an ignition source such as heat or a spar& ' in order to

 begin and develop.

• (his is often referred to as a #$ire Trian%&e#.

  i) FIRE IGNITION (Ny!" #i)• Ignition in most fires is a process of transition from theinput of heat to the stable propagation of thermal )avesupported by heat release from combustion.

• It occur only )hen there is initial heat input from anignition source and is then follo)ed by combustionreaction sufficient to establish a thermal )ave

• Ignition refers to the appearance of a flame in the volatilegas stream evolved from a solid exposed to externalignition sources such as a flame or an electrical spar&.

•  :hen fire starts in an enclosed space such as a building% thesmo&e rising from the fire becomes trapped by the ceiling andthen spreads in all directions to form an ever"deepening layerover the entire room space.

• (he smo&e )ill pass through any holes or gaps in the )alls%ceiling and floor into other parts of the building.

The fire in this museum was

caused by a gas leak.

Of these sources, the risk of

fire from electrical, arson,

and construction or

renovation sources tend to

be the most common in

cultural institutions.

a small fire or some overheating has occurred% and thatthere is a danger of fire happening soon.

•  /ctive fire protection refers to installing euipment%systems% and devices that reuire po)er to function such

as fire detection% fire alarm% and fire suppressionsystems.

• 0arbon dioxide is an inert gas used for putting out fire.• It does this by displacing the oxygen that is necessary for combustion.

• =ecause it is a gas% care must be ta&en to ensure that fresh air is not allo)ed tointerfere during the process of putting out a fire.

2.1.: FIRE E$TINGUSHER 

•  Portable fire extinguishers are generally required by code.•  In the hands of trained individuals, they can be an effective tool in

extinguishing small, contained fires.

•  It is important to select the correct type of extinguisher for the type of

fire.

•  If the wrong type of extinguisher is used, it could be ineffective, or even

dangerous, in combating a fire.

•  As an example, a water-based extinguisher used on a live electrical fire

could result in a serious electrical shock to the person attempting to

extinguish the fire.•  If used on a flammable liquid or grease fire, the water could cause the fire

to spread.

•  he type of extinguisher chosen for a certain area should be based on the

expected type of fire for that area.
