TEXT: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FIRES, MEANS AND WAYS OF FIRE FIGHTING

All fires are classified according to their location, scale, progression time and exterior signs of combustion.

1. Location: a) In buildings; b) On buildings; c) In different outside combustible places (forest, steppe, peat fires etc).

2. Scale: a) Separate; b) Continuous; c) Mass; d) Fire storms.

3. Progression time: a) Neglected; b) Unneglected.

4. Exterior signs of combustion: a) Outside; b) Inside; c) Combined; d) Hidden.

Means of fire extinguishing – the combination of techniques applied for prevention of fire spread, fire extinguishment, protection of people and property.

Means of fire extinguishing are divided into four groups.

Primary means of fire extinguishing are fire extinguishers (water, foam, dry chemical, gaseous, combined); inner fire pockets; manual instrument; fire techniques.

Fire-fighting and primary fire alarm installations: supervising and receiving apparatuses; alarm systems; sound- and light-alarm devices.

Fire vehicles: fire engines (automobile tanks, pump stations etc); means of fire aviation; fire swimming means; fire trains.

Fire equipment for fire extinguishing: pipeline systems; dredgers; road-building machinery etc.

Ways of fire extinguishing may be the following:

1. Cooling of combustion zone with water, carbon dioxide, solutions and mixing of combustible substances.

2. Isolation of combustion zone by means of foam, powders, sand and fire protection belts.

3. Dilution of extinguishing agents with water vapour, carbon dioxide, jets of Microdrop sprayed water.

4. Chemical inhibition of combustion with halon hydrocarbon and fire extinguishing powder.
