FIRE SAFETY

Introduction All health care professionals should be trained in fire prevention and in first-response action to a fire hazard

The Fire Triangle The elements necessary for a fire risk to occur are -fuel: something that will burn -heat: enough to make it burn -oxygen: to feed the fire Removal of one or more elements will stop the fire

Types of Extinguishers 5 types are available the most common is the ABC type that is capable of putting out most types of fires Type of Fire extinguisherType of Fire A (Water)Common combustibles B (Carbon Dioxide)Flammable liquids C (K bicarbonate)Electrical DCombustible Metals ABC (chemical)All except combustible metals

How to use a Fire Extinguisher Remember the acronym PASS P = Pull Pin A = Aim at the base of the fire S = Squeeze handle S = Sweep nozzle from side to side to displace oxygen away from the fire PASS

Fire Emergency If a fire occurs, use the acronym RACE to help patients and coworkers R = Rescue once a fire is observed, everyone not involved in the extinguishing must leave A = Alarm pull the alarm or assign someone else to do it C = Contain close windows and doors E = Evacuate you must move out of immediate danger Smoke and heat can cause great damage to the respiratory system – can be fatal

Fire Emergency Rules BE PREPARED – know your responsibilities Know when and how to evacuate Know where the fire alarms are and how to activate them Keep fire extinguishers in plain view and easy to access Keep areas uncluttered

Fire Emergency Rules Evacuate ambulatory (capable of walking) patients first, then wheelchair- bound, then bed-bound Never use an elevator Never open windows Always feel the doors; if it is hot, never open it !

Homework 1.Determine the order which you would evacuate the following: a)Patient A, who uses a walker b)Patient B, who is in a wheelchair c)A visitor of patient A who is ambulatory d)Patient D, who is in a coma 2. In a fire emergency, how would you decide whether or not you should enter a room? For example, if a door were hot, would you keep it closed or open it and enter the room? Explain your answer.
