INTRODUCTION

•It may be interesting to know that losses caused to


the industries due to fire have been much more severe
than all crimes combined together. There can be
nothing more devastating than fire. It has been taking
a heavy toll of valuable property and human lives.A
tiny spark may become a raging valley of flames and
transform the entire industrial complex into a
towering inferno. A little carelessness in the handling
of frayed cables carrying high voltages, combustible
gases and inflammable materials may spark off a
major catastrophe. A small spark from a
malfunctioning electrical system may play havoc with
the entire storage in the tank farm area besides
causing loss of machinery, building and human lives.

Introduction of fire
Fire is a Chemical Reaction in Which
Fuel and Oxygen Take Part at a Certain
Temperature and Produce Heat,
Light,smoke,ash Etc.
FUEL + OXYGEN  LIGHT+
HEAT+SMOKE+ASH etc.
It is well known that fire is caused due to the
interaction of the following factors.
(a) Fuel
(b) Oxygen
(a) Heat
Fire starts by voluntary or involuntary ignition.It
may arise out of a spark due to short circuit, a
lighted cigarette, match-stick, heat arising from
rising temperature, friction of objects etc.
The success of fire extinguishing lies in
eliminating one of the constituent factors
mentioned above.

electric current and use an extinguishing method
suitable to the material on fire.
