What is fire?
A fire is a chemical reaction that involves 3 elements: fuel, oxygen and heat (source of ignition)

Fuel - Any combustible material: solid, liquid or gas. Oxygen - The air we breathe is about 21 percent oxygen.
Fire only needs an atmosphere with at least 16 percent oxygen.
Heat - Heat is the energy necessary to increase thetemperature of the fuel to a point where sufficientvapors are given off for ignition to occur.
Chemical Reaction - A chain reaction can occur when the otherthree elements are present in the properconditions and proportions.

Preventive Measures
Look for old wiring, worn insulation, broken and loose electrical fittings.
Prevent motors from overheating by keeping them clean and in good working order.
Utility lights should always have some type of wire guard over them. Heat from an uncovered light bulb can easily ignite ordinary combustibles.
Never install a fuse rated higher than specified for the circuit.
Investigate any appliance or electrical equipment that smells strange. Unusual odors can be the first sign of electrical fire.
Don't overload wall outlets. Two outlets should have no more than two plugs.
Good maintenance program of all electrical appliances

R – rescue personnel in immediate danger
A – alert others; yell out “fire, fire!” or activate firealarm
C – contain; close doors, windows (don’t lock)
E – extinguish / evacuate; extinguish manageable fire, apply PASS method / evacuate the area. If fire is beyond control, call Fire Dept.

Stop - where you areDrop - to the floor or ground Roll - around on the floor or ground
STOP, DROP and ROLL …This will smother the flames, possibly saving your life. If a co-worker catches on fire, smother the flames by grabbing a blanket or rug and wrapping him up in it. That could save him from serious burns or even death.

1) First Rule…Keep calm, try not to panic. 2) Alert others, activate fire alarm3) Shut doors & windows (but don’t lock). 4) If manageable, extinguish fire with hand held fire extinguisher. Apply ' PASS '
method :5) Leave the area via nearest exit (never use elevator). If trapped in an enclosed
area or building: never open a closed door without feeling it first. If the door is hot, try another exit. get to your hands and knees and crawl. The possibility of inhaling smoke is less near
the floor. Make use of any available shield such as blankets or tarps - these will help you get out
of the area with less risk of injury. Wet handkerchief or clothes over your nose will also help cut down the smoke intake.
Proceed to pre-designated safe assembly area
