Extinguishing Agents that can be used on Fire - Flammable Solvents

Foam -That floats over the solvents and spreads quickly over it to seal off the oxygen supply

Caron dioxide -That displace the oxygen from the scene of fire and extinguish the fire by smothering

Dry chemical powder - propelled by a non-combustible gas, it forms a chemical powder cloud over fire and interrupts the chemical chain reaction and also cuts off the oxygen supply. Fire may rekindle as it does not adequately cool the fire.

Water mist - Though water cannot be used as it is denser than solvent, water mist of particle size about 400 microns are effective. It extinguishes the fire by cooling.

Eight Common Causes of Fire in the Workplace

Electrical equipment - faulty wiring, overloaded conductors, misused equipment and incorrect use of electric equipment in inappropriate environments.

Deliberate ignition (arson) – in some cases workplaces may be targeted by a disgruntled employee or an unhappy customer

Hot work – any work involving arc/naked flame (propane torch, oxy – acetylene cutting, arc welding and grinding)

Smoking – carelessly discarded cigarette butts and matches; smoking in prohibited areas

Cooking appliances – fat pans left attended

Heating appliances – electric fan heaters and space heaters, mainly when left unattended

Unsafe use / storage of flammables (example petrol, acetone, liquid petroleum gas) – Static sparks can be generated which could ignite a flammable vapour

Mechanical heat – generated by friction between moving parts or cold work generating sparks

Chemical reactions – can also generate heat, for example oxidisers.

Incineration –uncontrolled burning of rubbish.

Principle of Fire Triangle

The fire triangle represents the fuel, oxygen and a source of ignition, heat or ignition source/energy-that must be present for combustion to occur.

For the fire to occur, all these sides are to be complete, otherwise the fire will not occur. so to extinguish fire any of the three viz. fuel, oxygen or the heat source should be removed or isolated.

Cooling: Removing the heat from fire to extinguish it ; eg : water type fire extinguisher does cooling.

Smothering: Cutting off the oxygen supply to fire or sealing off the oxygen not to reach the fire to extinguish fire; foam type fire extinguisher forms a blanket/film of foam layer disallowing air to reach thus extinguishes fire.

Starving: The fire and fuel; in this process all the adjacent burning material are removed from the scene of fire (or) the fuel supply value /knob is shut off or closed to avoid any further fuel available to continue / sustain burning, thus the fire does not have burning material to spread further, thus extinguishes due to starvation.
