Minimum of ____ fire exits
, Two:
Primary
Secondary
Fire
A rapid chemical combination of fuel and oxygen in the presence of heat and usually
accompanied by the production of heat, light, and combustion by products
Fire Tetrahedron
Chemical chain reaction- in the burning process, fuel elements (compounds) are released by heat
produced by the fire. These elements join the fire (combine with oxygen) to produce more heat,
which releases more fuel elements
Oxygen supports ______ and _______
Combustion and life:
21% in normal air
16% min. needed to support respiration and combustion
15% visible flame goes out
5% fire goes out
Fuel has ____ amount of physical states
3:
Liquid
Gases
Solids
Liquids
gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner
____ produces gases
Vaporization
Gases
natural gas, Lp gas, acetylene
- No conversion necessary
Solids
Wood, rubber, plastic, paper
- Converted into gas by pyrolysis
