• Familia publica

• Vigiles

• Battalion de Sapeurs Pompiers

• French fire brigade

A fire fighting force of 7,000 men that was divided into seven regiments created by Emperor Augustus after an enormous fire devastated Rome.

• Familia publica

• Vigiles

• Battalion de Sapeurs Pompiers

• French fire brigade

This fire led to the development of fire insurance industries in England.

• Booth's Clothing Factory Fire

• Summerland Fire Disaster

• Great Fire of Newcastle and Gateshead

• Great Fire of London

A stage in fire development when the four elements of the fire tetrahedron come together and combustion begins the fire is small and confined to the material first ignited/localized fire is regulated not by oxygen but by the configuration, mass and geometry of the fuel itself.

• Incipient

• Growth

• Fully-developed

• Decay

Occurs when all combustible materials in the area are involved in fire maximum heat release based on available oxygen.

• Incipient

• Growth

• Fully-developed

• Decay

Occurs as available fuel is being consumed and the rate of heat release begins to decline; heat level lower and oxygen level very low.

• Incipient

• Growth

• Fully-developed

• Decay

The fire is producing enough heat to be self-sustaining and will continue to grow so long as fuel and air are available.

• Incipient

• Growth

• Fully-developed

• Decay

An explosion resulting from the sudden introduction of air (i.e. oxygen) into a confined space containing oxygen-deficient superheated products of incomplete combustion.

• Flameover

• Flashover

• Backdraft

• Bleve

Occurs when the vessel holding the liquid ruptures as a result of pressure being exerted on its sides when the liquid it holds boils and the resulting pressure exceeds the container's ability to hold it.

• Flameover

• Flashover

• Backdraft

• Bleve

It is a chemical process through inhibiting the chemical chain reaction by applying extinguishing media to the fire that inhibit the chemical chain reaction at the molecular level.

• Starvation

• Smothering

• Cooling

• Breaking of chemical chain reaction
