Fire Safety

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.  Extinguish small fires using a fire extinguisher.

Unit Objectives Objective One: Explain the role of CERTs in fire safety. What is your Role?

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

Unit Objectives Objective Two : Identify and reduce potential fire risks in the home and workplace.

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

 Install a natural gas detector.  Locate and label gas shutoffs. Reducing Fire Hazards

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

Check with a representative from the local utility company regarding local utility protocols, and convey these to the participants. If possible, develop training models of fuse and breaker boxes to allow demonstrations and hands-on practice. Depending on your location, you may also choose to cover propane gas shutoffs. Reducing Fire Hazards

Electrical Shutoffs Circuit Box With Shutoff Circuit box showing shutoff steps. Step 1: Shut off individual breakers. Step 2: Shut off main breaker. Fuse Box With Shutoff Fuse box showing shutoff steps. Step 1: Pull out individual fuses. Step 2: Pull out main fuse.

Gas Meter Shut-Off

Unit Objectives Objective Three: Conduct a basic sizeup for a fire emergency. What Questions do I Ask in my Size-Up?

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 1.Gather Facts. 2.Assess Damage. 3.Consider Probabilities. 4.Assess Your Situation. 5.Establish Priorities. 6.Make Decisions. 7.Develop Plans of Action. 8.Take Action. 9.Evaluate Progress.

Fire Extinguisher Usage: Decision Making Process

Fire Suppression A small fire:  Is about the size of a wastepaper can.  Can be extinguished with one fire extinguisher.

Fire Suppression

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

Components of a Fire Extinguisher Components of a portable fire extinguisher: Hose, carrying handle and trigger, pressure gauge, cylinder

How to Use a Fire Extinguisher P P A A S S S S

P P A A S S S S PULL SWEEP SQUEEZE AIM Test the extinguisher before approaching any fire.

Unit Objectives Objective Four : Understand Basic Safety Precautions.

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.

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

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
