DRR FIRE HAZARD Flashcards
Happened in Quezon City, Philippines on March 18, 1996
THE OZONE DISCO FIRE
Leaving at least 162 people dead
THE OZONE DISCO FIRE
Considered as the worst fire in the Philippine History and among the 10 worst nightclub fires in the world.
THE OZONE DISCO FIRE
_ is not a single object but it’s actually made up of three components that make up the _
FIRE
FIRE TRIANGLE
In order to produce fire, there must be three things present.
FUEL TO BE BURN;
OXYGEN TO ADD IN COMBUSTION AND;
HEAT TO RAISE THE FUEL TO ITS IGNITION POINT.
Taking out of any three components would mean that no fire will be produced.
FUEL TO BE BURN;
OXYGEN TO ADD IN COMBUSTION AND; HEAT TO RAISE THE FUEL TO ITS IGNITION POINT.
The fourth component is the _ necessary to create fire.
CHAIN OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS
This 4th component paved the way for the concept of the _
FIRE TETRAHEDRON.
a process that involves the rapid oxidation of objects at elevated temperature which produces smoke, heat, and light.
FIRE
A process involving rapid oxidation at elevated temperatures accompanied by the evolution of heated gaseous products of combustion, and the emission of visible and invisible radiation
FIRE
Despite government efforts to inform public regarding fire safety, especially during the month of _ or the _ more or more destructive fires are documented each year.
MARCH
FIRE PREVENTION MONTH
The common cause of fire can be classified into three main categories:
1.
2.
3.
CARELESSNESS AND ACCIDENTS
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
SMOKING OR LIGHTNING OF FIRE MATERIAL
CARELESSNESS AND ACCIDENTS
1.
2.
3.
4.
FRYING PAN LEFT UNATTENDED
ENGINE IGNITION DUE TO PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HEAT
CANDLES LEFT UNATTENDED (OIL LAMP)
IMPROPER USE OF PROPANE OR LPG POWERED STOVES
ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT
1.
2.
FAULTY ELECTRICAL WIRING SUCH AS EXTENSIVE USE OF EXTENSION CHORDS (OCTOPUS CONNECTION)
CONCEALED WIRINGS MAKING DETECTION DIFFICULT TO OBSERVE.
SMOKING OR LIGHTNING OF FIRE MATERIAL
1.
2.
CHILDREN PLAYING OR USING CANDLE
FIREWORKS. FIRECRACKERS
STAGES OF FIRE
- IGNITION PHASE
- Growth Phase Or Incipient Face
- FULLY-DEVELOPED PHASE OR FREE - BURNING PHASE
- DECAY PHASE OR BURNOUT PHASE
The three components of the fire triangle-oxygen, heat and fuel- join together in a sustained chemical reaction.
IGNITION PHASE
Fire at this stage can be put out by a fire extinguisher.
IGNITION PHASE
This phase is usually the first minute of fire.
IGNITION PHASE
Heat transfer via CONVECTION (source of heat transfers to gas or liquid.) (Room can be much warmer or heater and the plumes may reach the ceiling)
GROWTH PHASE OR INCIPIENT PHASE
Need to call for help (Emergency Personnel or Fire Officer (Fire man, and call 991)
GROWTH PHASE OR INCIPIENT PHASE
