STC - Incipient Firefighting
Definition of Incipient Fire 29 CFR (c)(26) defines “Incipient Stage Fire” as a fire which is in the initial or beginning stage and which can be controlled or extinguished by portable fire extinguishers, class II standpipes or small hose systems without the need for protective clothing or breathing apparatus STC - Incipient Firefighting

Is This an Incipient Fire?
STC - Incipient Firefighting

Fire and Crowd Control A small electrical fire broke out at a retail store. Officials say a clothes dryer in the store's hair salon suddenly caught fire. The employees noticed the smoke and activated the fire alarm. Customer were evacuated from the building while the store manager used a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze. There were no injures and very little damage. STC - Incipient Firefighting

Where Does Heat Come From
Source Heat and Fire Where Does Heat Come From

Sources of Heat Energy There are three main types of heat sources. Chemical Electrical Mechanical STC - Incipient Firefighting

Sources of Heat Energy Chemical: Heat of combustion Spontaneous heating Heat of decomposition Heat of solution STC - Incipient Firefighting

Sources of Heat Energy Electrical: Resistance heating Dielectric heating (microwaves) Leakage current heating Heat from arcing Static electricity Induction Heating Heat Generated by Lighting STC - Incipient Firefighting

Sources of Heat Energy Mechanical -Frictional Heat -Friction Sparks -Heat of Compression STC - Incipient Firefighting

Heat Transfer Then to transferring that heat is done in three different ways. Conduction Convection Radiation STC - Incipient Firefighting

Heat Transfer Conduction -Heat transferred by direct contact from one body to another is a process called conduction. Good Conductors of heat – Copper, Silver, Iron & Steel Poor Conductors of Heat – Wood, Styrofoam, Paper & Air STC - Incipient Firefighting

Heat Transfer Convection - Transfer of heat by a circulating medium either a gas or a liquid Example – How does the air in side a oven cook food ? Answer – Heating elements heats the air and as the air circulates inside the oven it cooks the food STC - Incipient Firefighting

Heat Transfer Radiation - A form of energy traveling across a space or through materials as electromagnetic waves , such as light , radio waves , or X-rays. Example – Camp Fire, The Sun, Light bulb. STC - Incipient Firefighting

Important Terms Why are these terms important to as we try to extinguisher a small fire ? These terms provide us with information about the fire and how to extinguish the fire properly. Boiling Point Flashpoint Flammable Range Vapor Density Vapor Pressure MSDS HMIS STC - Incipient Firefighting

Important Terms MSDS What does MSDS stand for ? Material Safety Data Sheet What can we find on a MSDS ? STC - Incipient Firefighting

HMIS What does HMIS mean ? Hazardous Material Identification System Why is this system important ? Inform us to the hazard this material may present Blue- Health Red- Fire Yellow- Reactivity White- Special Hazard Zero- No Hazard Four- Greatest Hazard STC - Incipient Firefighting

Important Terms Boiling Point - The temperature of a substance when the vapor pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure. Water – 212 f. Gasoline – 100f. To 400f. Diesel – 309f. to 700f. STC - Incipient Firefighting

Important Terms Flashpoint -The minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface. -Gasoline: -45 degrees F -Diesel: 125 degrees F -Hydrogen: Above 100 degrees F STC - Incipient Firefighting

Important Terms Flammable Range -The percentage of gas or vapor in air that will burn if ignited. Referred to as the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) , and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL). -Gasoline: 2-7% Hydrogen: 5-75% -Hydrazine: 2-98% -Acetylene: 2-100% -LP Gas: % -Natural Gas:5-15% STC - Incipient Firefighting

Important Terms Vapor Density -The weight of a gas as compared to air, with air having a value of one. Less than one and the gas will tend to rise and dissipate. If the gas is heavier than one it will sink and hug the ground, and will travel according to the terrain and wind direction. -Natural Gas – Hydrogen – -LP Gas – Chlorine- STC - Incipient Firefighting

Important Terms Vapor Pressure -A measure of the tendency of a substance to evaporate. STC - Incipient Firefighting

How Does Fire Start, Burn, and To Put It Out
Fire Behavior How Does Fire Start, Burn, and To Put It Out

Fire Behavior Fuel Characteristics Forms: Solid Liquid Gas STC - Incipient Firefighting

Fire Behavior Everything burns in a gaseous state. Solids: pyrolysize (chemical decomposition of a substance through the action of heat) Liquids: vaporize, giving off fuel gases Gaseous: fuels are the most dangerous, because they are in a natural state required for ignition. STC - Incipient Firefighting

Fire Triangle How many element are in the fire Triangle? STC - Incipient Firefighting

Fire Triangle Chemical Reaction Heat Oxygen Fuel STC - Incipient Firefighting

Fire Triangle Air contains approximately 21% Oxygen, 78% Nitrogen, and 1% other gases. Fire Triangle; Smoldering mode Fire Tetrahedron; Flaming mode. The burning process includes the uninhibited chemical chain reaction, between the heat, fuel, and the oxygen STC - Incipient Firefighting

Phases of Fire Incipient: The earliest phase of a fire beginning with the actual ignition. Steady-State Burning: The phase of the fire where sufficient oxygen and fuel are available for fire growth and open burning to a point where total involvement is possible. Hot Smoldering: The phase when flames cease to exist, and may be reduce to glowing embers. STC - Incipient Firefighting

Products of Combustion
When materials burn they undergo a chemical change. Four major products: Heat Light Smoke Fire gases The content, color, and intensity of the smoke depend on the products burning. The gases given off from the burning process vary according to the products burning, but many are toxic. STC - Incipient Firefighting

Fire Extinguishment Theory
How to Put Out A Fire

PPE Remember when extinguishing an incipient fire to where your ppe. Gloves Work dress Boots Hardhat STC - Incipient Firefighting

Fire Extinguishment Theory
Extinguish the fire by limiting or eliminating one or more of the essential elements in the combustion process. By temperature reduction (cooling) By removing the fuel By oxygen dilution By chemical flame inhibition STC - Incipient Firefighting

Classes of Fires Class A: Ordinary combustible such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and plastics. Class B: Flammable and combustible liquids and gases such as gasoline, oil, mineral spirits, paints, alcohols, methane, propane, hydrogen, and acetylene. Class C: Those involving energized electrical equipment. Class D: Involve combustible metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, sodium, and potassium. Class K: Involves cooking appliances that are combustible cooking media. STC - Incipient Firefighting

Fire Extinguishers Rating System: Classified according to the types of fires for which they are intended. Class A-1; 11/4 gallons of water. Class B; 1-B through 640-B Neither Class C nor Class D extinguishers are given a numerical rating. STC - Incipient Firefighting

Multiple Markings Combinations of the letters A, B, and/or C or the symbols for each class identify extinguishers suitable for more than one class of fire. Pictographs STC - Incipient Firefighting

Laptop Fire Firefighters were called to a home on Wednesday morning after a laptop burst in to flames. Juli was at home reading on a different computer when the Sony Viao laptop caught on fire. “ Flames Started to shoot out from all different directions” Said Juli. She put out the fire with an extinguisher and called her husband at work to tell him what had happen.” “The laptop burst into flames again while he was on the phone with Juli, So dropped the phone and called 911. The only damage was a smudge on the wall and extinguisher agent on the furniture. Question: Was this an Electrical Fire? STC - Incipient Firefighting

Selection of Portable Extinguishers
