Fire is a rapid chemical combustion that involves three elements HEAT, OXYGEN and FUEL.

It is important to note that without this three elements in there right proportion, fire cannot occur.

What is Fuel? Fuel is any combustible material, material that can get burnt when the rapid chemical combustion occurs.

The Solid fuel: these are fuel that are in solid state and they leave behind ashes when the combustion process is completed. Example charcoal, paper, wood etc.

The Liquid fuel: these are fuel that are in liquid form. Example are Diesel, PMS Kerosene etc.

Gaseous fuel: these are fuel in gaseous state, and it includes, Methane, Bethune etc.  

The Fire triangle 

                   Oxygen (16%)

 

 

 

 

   Heat(crit. temp.)       Fuel

Note that if one of the above elements (HEAT, FUEL and OXYGEN) is absent, fire will not occur.

Fire is categorized into two which is;

Small Fire: these are fire that can be managed and contained at sight. These kind of fire are usually in the kitchen.

Big fire: this kind of fire cannot be contained as the fire components are in huge supplies and are very risky to attend to. These kind of fire usually occurs storage facilities etc.

We have various classification of fire and this is based on the kind of fuel that causes the fire.

CLASS A FIRE: this is fire caused by the Solid fuel. Example is when a woman in the rural setting is done cooking with her firewood and did not properly quench the fire but instead leaves combustible materials like water proof and through this waterproof the fire spreads to the other end of the house, from the kitchen.

A candle fire that happens as a result of not been properly kept (kept carpet), as it get consume to the base, it spreads and consume the entire house. These are examples of class A fire.

CLASS B FIRE: these are fire that is been caused by Liquid fuel. Example of this kind of fire is tankers explosion, or fire outbreak in P.M.S, Diesel, and Kerosene storage of transport facilities.

So, any fire that have its roots cause from Liquid fuel is called a class B fire.

CLASS C FIRE: these are fire caused by gaseous fuel. Examples are gas explosion.

CLASS D FIRE: these are kind of fire caused by metals that burn violently.

CLASS E FIRE: this are fire that is caused by electrical faults of sparks.

Method of fire extinguishment 

There are various ways which fire can be extinguished and most time, it is dependent on the kind of fire that one is faced with. Sand can be used to put off a small fire for instance but it cannot effectively help to put off a big fire.

Starving: as the name implies, this method is used to starve fire of fuel.

Cooling: this process is used to remove heat from the fire, by pouring water to the fire.

Smothering: this process removes oxygen from the fire. This is done by using blanket to cover the fire which prevent oxygen from the fire.

The use of fire extinguisher: this also help to fight fire. But the fire extinguisher is of different kinds and different kind of fire. Although all fire extinguisher is red, because visibility sake but there are sections were it is indicated the kind of fire extinguisher that you are dealing with.

Water-Fire extinguisher, its color coding is RED and it is used to fight class A fire. 

Foam-Fire extinguisher, the color is YELLOW, and it is used to fight class A&B fire.

D.C.P and C.O.2, BLUE and BLACK respectively used to fight ABC classes of fire. The C.O.2 extinguisher should not be used in an oxygen deficient area.

In fighting fire, the acronym P.A.S.S. is used. It simply means

 

P. pull your safety pin from the extinguisher

A. aim at the base of the fire

S. squeeze the handle of the extinguisher for it to release the content inside the cylinder

S. sweep side by side, when you have aimed the base of the fire and the content in the cylinder is coming out of the cylinder, sweep side by side of the fire to quench it.

How to prevent fire accident: the whole essence of the work above is to equip you with the base knowledge of fire, the component and how to contain and quench fire. But it is also important to know how to prevent fire, which is by  

Be careful when dealing with fire

Do not allow kids to use fire

Dispose all forms of fuels

Check if electrical appliance and properly switched off and

disconnected from power source

Install fire detecting devices

Ensure there is no linkage of gas etc.

 

Notes: fire travels faster when there is sufficient oxygen, so if you are in your work place, and you hear the fire alarm, do not open the doors, look for the nearest emergency exist and leave the building.

Emergency exit should be free at all time

 

2. We Move This is another slang that was popularised by the protest. They are chant words that speak of people's resilience in a dire situation, telling whoever cares to listen that the struggle continues no matter what was done to hold them back
