Introduction and Unit Overview The role of CERTs in fire safety: Put out small fires. Prevent additional fires. Shutoff utilities Assist with evacuations where necessary.

Unit Objectives Explain the role of CERTs in fire safety. Identify and reduce potential fire risks in the home and workplace. Conduct a basic sizeup for a fire emergency. Understand basic safety precautions. Identify hazardous materials in the home and community. Extinguish small fires using a fire extinguisher.

The Fire Triangle Heat Fuel Oxygen

Fire Chemistry Classes of fire: A: Ordinary combustibles B: Flammable and combustible liquids C: Energized electrical equipment D: Combustible metals

Reducing Fire Hazards in Home and Workplace Avoid the “electrical octopus.” Don’t run cords under carpets. Replace broken or frayed cords. Maintain appliances.

Reducing Fire Hazards in Home and Workplace Install a natural gas detector. Locate and label gas shutoffs.

Reducing Fire Hazards in Home and Workplace Read labels. Use L.I.E.S. storage procedures (Limit, Isolate, Eliminate, Separate).

CERT sizeup Answer these questions: Can my buddy and I fight the fire safely? Do we have the right equipment? Are there other hazards? Is the building structurally damaged? Can we escape?

CERT Sizeup Gather Facts. Assess Damage. Consider Probabilities. Assess Your Situation. Establish Priorities. Make Decisions. Develop Plans of Action . Take Action. Evaluate Progress.

Firefighting Resources Resources available: Portable fire extinguishers Wet standpipes Confinement “Creative” resources

Types of Fire Extinguishers Water Dry chemical Carbon dioxide Specialized fire extinguisher

Test the extinguisher before approaching any fire. P.A.S.S Pull Aim Squeeze Sweep Test the extinguisher before approaching any fire.

Fire Suppression Safety Do: Use safety equipment. Work in a buddy system. Have a backup team. Have two ways to exit. Maintain a safe distance. Overhaul the fire.

Fire Suppression Safety DON’T Try to suppress large fires. Get too close. Fight it alone. Enter smoke-filled areas.

Hazardous Materials . . . Corrode other materials Explode or are easily ignited React strongly with water Are unstable when exposed to heat or shock Are toxic to humans, animals, or the environment

Identifying Stored Hazardous Materials
