The result of combustion

(a)  

A chemical reaction between oxygen and a combustible fuel

(a)  

Source of ignition

(a)  

It happens when a hydrocarbon substance unexpectedly create a fire without apparent cause

(a)  

The most common class, these fires involve common combustibles such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, trash, and plastics.

(a)  

These Involve flammable liquids, solvents, oil, gasoline, propane, butane, paints, lacquers, and other oil-based products or petroleum-based products.

(a)  

Old wiring and space heaters are common causes for residential Class C fires, which involve energized electrical equipment such as wiring, controls, motors, machinery, or appliances.

(a)  

It is not common, they can be more difficult to extinguish. They typically involve combustible metals such as magnesium, lithium, potassium, and titanium. This type of fire is more commonly seen in laboratories.

(a)  

These are related to combustible cooking materials such as oils and grease commonly found in kitchens. The fires can spread quickly and be the most difficult to manage, especially since water can make the situation worse.

(a)  

A portable or movable apparatus used to put out a small fire by directing onto it a substance that cools the burning material, deprives the flame of oxygen, or interferes with the chemical reactions occurring in the flame.

(a)  

It only suitable for class A fires. They must not be used for electrical or class K fires. Some water-based extinguishers will have chemical additives to improve their effectiveness but this does not make them suitable for every type of fire.

(a)  

They are suitable for fighting class A and B fires. However, they should be used differently depending on the type of fire. For solid combustibles (class A), you can direct the foam directly onto the burning materials. For flammable liquids (class B), the foam should be directed around the burning substance until enough foam has built up to smother the fire. This prevents the risk of spreading flammable liquids by the force of the spray.

(a)  

Suitable for class A, B and C fires. They can also be used somewhat successfully for combating electrical fires but there will be a chance of reignition. They're not suitable for class K fires,

(a)  

It displace oxygen to smother a fire. This makes them safe to combat electrical fires but hazardous to use in confined spaces where oxygen is limited for the user. Suitable for class B and electrical fires.

(a)  

It is designed for class K fires. The firefighting chemicals are discharged at a lower force than other extinguisher types, minimizing the risk of spreading burning oils and fats. It also suited for tackling the high temperatures of burning oils.

(a)  

It refers to

systematic efforts to minimize vulnerabilities

and disaster risks, and to avoid, or to limit the

effects of hazards.

(a)  

Identifies the hazards;

potential threats are

identified based partly on

experience and records.

(a)  

Aims to

establish the magnitude

and the likelihood of the

occurrence of the event.

(a)  

Analyzes and identifies

priority subjects (hazards,

areas, and elements at risk)

requiring treatment.

(a)  

Identifies the cause of the

risks, identifies and evaluates

treatment strategies, and

prepares and implements

treatment plans.

(a)  

Oversees the implementation

progress of the disaster risk

management process. This stage also conducts periodic

investigation of progress and

analysis of impact and

achievement.

(a)  

Empowers the people by recognizing and

emphasizing the value of communities and local

organizations. By entrusting DRRM to them, the

technical and organizational capacities of

communities are enhanced.

(a)  

Measures undertaken to minimize the long-term risk or

impact of the disaster

(a)  

Actions or measure to ensure that the community, organizations, or people can respond effectively once the disaster occurs.

(a)  

The entire array of activities aimed at reducing

the severity of the impact of the disaster-causing event which is undertaken before, during,

(a)  

Refers to the ability to reduce the probability of failure through

risk reduction measures, to reduce the consequences of failure, and to reduce

recovery time and patterns of vulnerability during reconstruction.

(a)  

Capacity to respond or recover quickly from disaster.
