Whar is fire ?
Fire is a chemical reaction in which heat, light
and smoke evolve. To generate fire, heat, fuel and oxygen
is essentially required in balance ratio. Shortage of
any one restrict occurrence of fire.
Fire grows fast :
It is now established that a small flame can get
completely out of control in seconds and turn into a
major fire. It can fill up a home with black thick smoke
very quickly. In minutes a home can be engulfed in flames.
There is very short time to "ESCAPE".
"Each second count in Escape".
Fire is "HOT" & "DARK" :
Fire generates heat that can kill. Temperature in a
room varies from 100 degree at floor level to 600 degree
at eye level. Inhaling super hot air will scorch your
lungs. Heat can melt clothes to your skin. In just 5
minutes a room can get so hot that everything in it
ignites at once. Fire brings darkness even it starts
bright. It produces black thick smoke which reduces
visibility.
Escape from heat!
Escape before darkness!
Fire is Deadly :
Fire produces heat, smoke and toxic gases. Smoke and
toxic gases travel faster than heat hence they kill
more people than flames do. Breathing even small amount
of smoke and toxic gases can make you drowsy, disoriented
and short of breath. The odorless, colorless fumes can
lull you into a deep sleep before the flames reach your
door.
Fire do happen :
Fire occurs frequently in Home, Industries, Office,
etc. PREVENT FIRES. You should make sure that you and
others know
- What to do if fire does break out?
- What would you do if you or any member discovers
a fire?
