1. IGNITION STAGE 2. GROWTH 3. FULLY DEVELOPED 4. DECAY (BURNOUT)
26
the triangle shows the three components necessary to have fire: fuel, heat, and oxygen. | IMPORTANT
TRIANGLE OF COMBUSTION
27
it is now used to describe the **elements of fire.**
FIRE TETRAHEDRON
28
is the **rapid oxidation** of a material in the exothermic chemical process of burning, releasing heat, light and various reaction products. | IMPORTANT
Fire
29
it occurs when the **heat passes through direct contact** with a solid material.
CONDUCTION
30
it is the **flow of fluid or gas** from hot areas to cooler areas.
CONVECTION
31
heat travels through electromagnetic waves.
RADIATION
32
is an **active fire protection device** used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire.

Usually kept in kitchen and wall mounted • Single use fiberglass construction • Designed to suppress/smoother fire • Mainly used for fat/cooking oil fires • DISPOSE after use • NEVER wash or reuse • REQUEST a replacement after use
