SAFETY & FIRST AID (Fire Prevention)

May 11, 2020


Good   morning  students!😊😊

By the end of today's class you will be able to:
➤List the preventive measures to be taken in case of fire.



The Fire Prevention Triangle - Heat, Oxygen and Fuel
A fire needs three elements - heat, oxygen and fuel. Without heat, oxygen and fuel a fire will not start or spread. A key strategy to prevent fire is to remove one or more of these.

So, here are some preventive measures that should be taken in case of fire:
➤Throw mud or sand over the fire to cut off the air supply by covering the substance on fire.

➤ Pour water over the fire. It cools down the burning substance and also cuts off its air supply.

➤ Water should not be thrown over a fire caused by electricity, electricity can flow through water and give an electric shock to the person who touches it.
In that case, a Fire Extinguisher can be used to extinguish the fire.

➤ If clothes catch fire roll on the ground or if a blanket/ rug is available, rolling up in it is more effective. This cuts off the air supply to the fire.


➤ In Case the fire is severe, call for help. Dial 101 and call for the fire brigade.

HOMEWORK
Q. Give reasons for the following:
1. Never throw water to put off an electric fire.
2. Cover a person in a blanket if his/her clothes catch fire.

That's all for today
God Bless!!
Take Care.
