Study Notes

Arson

  • Arson is a fire set intentionally

Open Flames and Heat

  • Gas burners and wood fires can ignite paper, food, grease, clothing, and metal.
  • Appliances such as mixers, grinders, refrigerators, and freezers can overheat and cause a fire.

Grease

  • Dirt and grease can cause a flare-up.
  • Cooking appliances including ranges, oven hoods, fryers, broilers, and ovens should be kept clean.

Electrical Wiring

  • More than 30% of accidental restaurant fires are caused by faulty wiring.
  • Never pull a plug from an outlet by the cord.
  • Overloaded outlets are a major cause of electrical fires.

Unsafe Storage Areas

  • Flammable items should be stored away from heat sources and open flames.

Automatic Hood and Sprinkler Systems

  • Automatic systems use extinguishers, sprinklers, and alarms triggered by heat.
  • They are used in dining rooms and bathrooms but not in food preparation areas.
  • Hood systems are located above the equipment, using chemicals instead of water.

Fire Extinguishers

  • Handheld devices used to extinguish small fires (no larger than 3 feet wide or 3 feet tall).
  • All fire extinguishers need regular recharging.

Water-Based Extinguishers

  • Put out fires by dousing them with water.
  • Recharged with clean water.
  • Only used for Class A fires.

Foam Extinguishers

  • Cool the fire and blanket it with foam to keep air from reaching the fire.
  • Used for Class A or Class B fires.

Dry-Chemical Extinguishers

  • Interrupt chemical reactions that fuel a fire.
  • Used for Classes A, B, and C (A/B/C), or for Classes B and C (B/C)

Fire Classes

  • Class A: Paper, cloth, wood, plastic
  • Class B: Gas, grease, oil, liquid stored under pressure (spray cans)
  • Class C: Electrical equipment, cords, outlets, circuits, motors, switches, or wiring
  • Class D: Combustible metals: iron or copper
  • Class K: Deep fat fryers and appliances using combustible oils or fats

PASS System for Using Fire Extinguishers

  • Pull the pin
  • Aim low, at the base of the fire (stand 6 to 8 feet away)
  • Squeeze the trigger
  • Sweep from side to side.

Types of Fires

  • Arson is a fire set intentionally
  • Fires can be started by open flames, heat, grease, faulty electrical wiring and unsafe storage

Preventing Fires

  • Gas burners or wood fires can set paper, food, grease, clothing, and even metal on fire.
  • Appliances such as mixers, grinders, refrigerators, and freezers can start a fire when motors overheat.
  • A layer of dirt or grease can cause a flare-up.
  • Cooking appliances must be kept clean.
  • More than 30% of all accidental fires in restaurants are caused by faulty electrical wiring.
  • Never pull a plug from an outlet by the cord.
  • Use the right kind of outlet for the plug you have.
  • Overloaded outlets are a common cause of electrical fires.
  • Flammable items need to be stored away from open flames or heating units.

Fire Safety Systems

  • Automatic systems include extinguishers, sprinklers, and alarms triggered by the heat of a fire.
  • Automatic systems are used in areas such as the dining room or the bathroom but not in areas where food is prepared.
  • Hood systems are located in the ventilation hood above the equipment and release chemicals instead of water.

Fire Extinguishers

  • Handheld devices used to put out a small fire.
  • A small fire is described as being no more than three feet wide or three feet tall.
  • All portable fire extinguishers need to be recharged on a regular basis.

Types of Extinguishers

  • Water-Based Extinguishers: Work by dousing the fire with water and can only be used on Class A fires.
  • Foam Extinguishers: Work by cooling the fire down and covering it in a blanket of foam that keeps air from getting to the fire and can be used for Class A or Class B fires only.
  • Dry-Chemical Extinguishers: Interrupt the chemical reactions that keep a fire burning and may be approved for use on Classes A, B and C (A/B/C) or for Class B and C (B/C) only.

Fire Classes

  • Class A: Paper, cloth, wood, plastic
  • Class B: Gas, grease, oil, liquid stored under pressure (spray cans)
  • Class C: Electrical equipment, cords, outlets, circuits, motors, switches, or wiring
  • Class D: Combustible switches, wiring, as well as metals, including iron or copper
  • Class K: Fires caused by deep fat fryers and other appliances that cook foods with combustible oils or fats

Using a Fire Extinguisher (PASS)

  • Pull the pin
  • Aim low, at the base of the fire (stand 6 to 8 feet away from the fire)
  • Squeeze the trigger
  • Sweep from side to side
