Study Notes
- Fire involves rapid oxidation of flammable material, producing light and heat.
- The discovery of fire led to advancements for people and industries by providing heat, light, and power.
Elements of Fire
- Fuel, heat, and oxygen are the three elements needed for fire.
- Fire will not happen if one of these elements is missing.
Fuel
- Fuels are combustible materials and can be solid, liquid, or gas.
Heat
- Heat raises the temperature of the fuel to its ignition point.
Oxygen
- Oxygen supports the combustion process to sustain burning.
Common Causes of Fire
- Faulty electrical wiring or connections
- Issues related to LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
- Neglected cooking or stoves
- Unattended open flames from torches, candles, or gas lamps
- Matchsticks or lighters left near flammable materials
- Lighted cigarette butts
- Neglected electrical appliances or devices
- Unchecked electrical machinery
- Flammable chemicals like gasoline, acetone, and butane
