  2. Objectives of the Presentation: • Understand BFP as an organization and its operation; • Tragic FIRES in the Philippines; • Understand the Concept and Principles of Fire Behavior; • Fire Safety Tips and Others!! • Establishment of Fire Brigades

  3. A. BFP as an Organization BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BFP 1900 - The first fire department was established in Manila during the American occupation 1940 - Fire departments were established in neighboring cities and towns each has their own organizational set-up 1975 - Integration of the local fire departments in city/municipality police forces under a national police organization called the Philippine Constabulary - Integrated National Police(PC-INP) 1990- Republic Act No. 6975 was enacted establishing a separate fire protection bureau designed to be a national in scope and civilian in character HISTORY

  11. “All the thieves in the world cannot take all your belongings, but one good FIRE could raze it to the ground In five (5) minutes time.”

  12. Common Causes of Fire

  13. Electrical Equipment & Appliances

  14. Kitchen Fires • Always turn off the stove after cooking • Never let the stove get red hot • Don't keep or store any flammable substances in your kitchen • Don’t leave the stove while cooking • Keep your heat-producing appliances clean. Old food particles & greasy build-up can ignite

  15. Cigarettes & Matches • Never smoke in bed. • Always have an ashtray available in your home. • Crush your cigarette & cigar stubs thoroughly before discarding them. • Do not throw cigar & cigarette butts into waste basket. • Strictly obey “No Smoking” signs.

  16. LPG • Keep stove at least a foot distance from any surrounding combustible wall or sidings. • Make sure all gas connections are rigid and tight. Avoid rubber or flexible tubings.

  17. ARSON

  18. C. Fire Behavior Basic Concepts and Principles of Fire Behavior

  19. FIRE IS… FIRE is a result of a chain reaction from the rapid combination of oxygen, fuel and heat.

  20. Elements of Fire

  21. Fire Spreads in Three (3) Ways Direct Heat Transfer. This is the transfer of heat from one body to another through direct flame contact.

  22. Heat Transfer by Radiation. It is the act of radiating or the emission and propagation of radiant heat or energy. It involves the stages of emission, absorption and transmission of heat or energy. It involves the thermal process whereby atmospheric circulation is maintained through the upward or downward transfer of air masses of different temperature.

  23. Heat Transfer by Convection. It is the diffusion of heat in liquid or gas form through the motion of its parts

  24. Classes of Fire Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials, such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber, and many plastics.

  25. ClassBfires involve flammable/combustible liquids, greases, and gases.

  26. ClassCfires involve energized electrical equipment.

  27. ClassDfires involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, and potassium.

  28. Classes of FIRE

  29. How do we put off FIRE?

  30. THE FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT THEORY • The principles of fire extinction consist of the elimination or removal of one or more of the four elements. These principles are: STARVATION • By removal of the fuel burning in the fire. Sometimes combustible material can be removed such as by shutting off gas valves or fuel flows. STOP CHAIN REACTION • Stop or interrupt the chain reaction between the fuel, heat and oxygen the fire will be extinguished. COOLING • By using Water as it absorbs heat from the fire and cools the fuel to a temperature where it no longer produces flammable vapors. SMOTHERING • By excluding the oxygen in the surrounding atmosphere, the fire will be extinguished.

  31. Fire Extinguisher Anatomy PRESSURE GAUGE (not found on CO2 extinguishers) DISCHARGE LEVER DISCHARGE LOCKING PIN AND SEAL CARRYING HANDLE DISCHARGE HOSE DATA PLATE DISCHARGE NOZZLE BODY DISCHARGE ORIFICE

  32. TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS Dry Chemical Carbon Dioxide Clean Agent AFFF

  33. P A S S Fire Extinguisher Use Pull the pin Aim low at the base of the FIRE Squeeze the Lever Sweep from side to side

  34. Fire Safety Tips

  35. HEARING SEEING SMELLING TOUCHING FIGHTING FIRE ESCAPE People’s Response to Fire REACTION IGNORE TELLING OTHERS ASSISTING OTHERS

  36. FIRE BRIGADE ORGANIZATION (Officers and Members) • OFFICERS • Fire Marshal • Deputy Fire Marshal • Chief, Command Post/ Communication Station • Evacuation Team Leader • Fire Extinguishing Team Leader • Rescue and Salvaged Team Leader • Traffic Team Leader • First-Aid/Medical Team Leader
