20
Q

BCF precautions? X13!

A

Use 1-2 m away from fire

Never hold BCF at an angle greater then 60°

Use of PBE is recommended

BCF is not a cooling agent

Ensure the nozzle points towards fire

Initial discharge can cause paper or fabric fires to scatter

Initial discharge may cause a flare up

Content of the BCF are toxic & can lead to dizziness, difficulty breathing, as well as eye, nose irritation

After discharge it can take up to 7min for agent to dissipate

Smoke should be cleared & signs of bcf content dissipated b4 removal of PBE or removal of oxygen masks

Leaks maybe difficult to detect

Note: if a BCF was found leaking report to CM & FD immediately and treated as a DG

21
Q

BCF after use?

A

Replace safety pin

22
Q

PBE duration?

A

15min

23
Q

PBE pre flight check?
