SPECIAL RESCUE UNIT

FIRE- is a chemical reaction that requires fuel, oxygen, and heat to occur.

FIRE TETRAHEDRON -Oxygen(oxidizing agent) -Fuel(reducing agent) -Heat -Chemical chain reaction

Conduction

WITH THE FLAME WITH THE FLAME CATCHING FROM ONE CATCHING FROM ONE OBJECT TO ANOTHEROBJECT TO ANOTHER

THROUGH THE ACTION OF HEAT RISING WITHIN A STRUCTURE, BRINGING ALO POISONOUS GASES AND SMOKE. THIS IS CONSIDERED AS THE MOST LIFE-THREATENING ANDTHE FASTEST WAY FIRETRAVELS.

INCIPIENT- 3 Elements of triangle come together and combustion occur.

Mushrooming-hot gases begin to spread horizontally across the ceiling.

GROWTH- fuel and oxygen are virtually unlimited. -rapidly increasing of heat. Thermal layering- gases tend to form into layers,

according to temperature. Thermal balance- hot gases form in the top layer

while cooler gases form at the lower layer. Thermal imbalance- disrupting the thermal

balance. Flashover- rapid transition between the growth

and fully developed -burning gases push out of opening in

the compartment.

Backdraft - unburned fire gases collect in unventilated spaces. -Air mix to hot gases can result explosion.Signs:Confine and excessive heatSmoke stain windowSmoke puffingPressurize smoke from small crackLittle visible flameBlack smoke become dense gray

Fully developed stage -all combustible materials in the

compartment are burning. Which produce maximum rate of energy.

-during this stage, hot unburned gases are likely flow from the compartment of origin to adjacent compartment. The hot gases may ignite as they enter a space where air is more abundant.

Decay stage -fuel is consumed, energy release

diminished and temperature decrease.

EVACUATION GUIDELINES

5 Upon exiting the building and proceeding to the assembly area, remain at least 20 feet away from the building walls and overhangs. Do not block any driveways, as Fire Department personnel will need access to these areas. Employees are requested to report to their assigned assembly areas as defined by your Fire Monitor/Evacuation Plan.6. The cessation of an alarm/departure of the fire department is not an "all clear" to re-enter the building as corrective measures may still be in progress. Stay clear of the building until your appointed fire monitor has advised you to re-enter the building/area.7. Assist visitors during alarm/emergency situations. Visitors may not be aware of exits/alternative exits and the procedures that should be taken during alarm situations. Employees should calmly inform visitors of the proper actions to be taken and assist them with the evacuation.
