Вариант 5 text а brief history of the warrington fire service

The history of Warrington Fire Services dates back to the eighteenth century. The first records of fire can date back from 1791. Early in the nineteenth century six insurance companies appeared to deal with fires in property.

One of the first indications of the Government's interest in organized fire fighting in Great Britain was given in 1812 - 1813. In that period Parliament passed an Act which stated the fact that «there was no Fire Engine House belonging to Warrington» and «that regulations are wanted for the better governing of the firemen».

The Warrington Fire Establishment was formed in 1828 and consisted of six engines. In 1868 Warrington had one of the largest fire pumps in the country. It was a manual engine.

During the Second World War the Service was nationalized. After that the Fire Service had to return to the Local Authority control. Since that time Warrington Fire Service has progressed from a continuous duty system to 24 and now the 48 hour week.

Text в development of a fire

Combustion is a chemical reaction or series of chemical reactions in which heat and light are evolved. All combustion reactions are oxidation reactions even if oxygen itself is not involved in combustion.

For combustion to occur three factors are necessary: heat, oxygen and a combustible substance. Removal of one of these factors leads to the collapse of the triangle and combustion ceases.

There are often two stages in the development of a fire. At first the fire burns slowly and there is a steady rise in the temperature. In some period of time the combustible material becomes heated to its ignition point and vapors are distilled off from it.

Then the fire spreads over the whole of the material and it is sometimes called «a flashover», and a fire that could easily have been extinguished by the use of first aid appliances changes to one that demands the attention of a fire brigade.

It often happens that a small fire in a closed room is supported for some time by air which enters through cracks or doors and the combustible materials temperature rises to the ignition point. In a burning building where there are pockets of combustible gases, am inrush of fresh air can mix with the hot gases and form an explosive mixture. Such a condition, known as «back draught», is dangerous to firemen engaged in opening-up building.

It is usual that some hose-lines must be ready for feeding of water before the entry into the burning building.
