What are the stores required for fire fighting?

What are the stores required for fire fighting?

Fire Extinguishers.

What are the chemicals used in fire fighting?

Sodium bicarbonate, regular or ordinary used on class B and C fires, was the first of the dry chemical agents developed. In the heat of a fire, it releases a cloud of carbon dioxide that smothers the fire. That is, the gas drives oxygen away from the fire, thus stopping the chemical reaction.

What is an example of fire fighting system?

Fire suppression systems, smoke detectors, and sprinkler systems are all types of fire protection systems that help with fire detection and protecting building occupants and equipment.

Do navy ships have fire suppression systems?

Halon, a liquefied compressed gas that disrupts the chemical process of a fire, is used aboard commercial flights and Navy ships, as it leaves no residue, protecting valuable electrical equipment in the event of a fire. The Navy has not yet given a cause for the fire, and an investigation is underway.

What is a 3 dimensional fire?

A three-dimensional fire is a liquid-fuel fire in which the fuel is being discharged from an elevated or pressurized source, creating a pool of fuel on a lower surface. Foam is not effective at controlling three-dimensional flowing fires.

What is C class fire?

A class C fire refers to a fire that involves flammable gases such as natural gas, petroleum gas, butane, hydrogen, acetylene or propane. These gases are highly combustible and may cause large scale fires and explosions if mixed with enough oxygen.

How does a hi fog system work?

HI-FOG® performance is based on fast evaporation of water that cools down the flame and surrounding gases as well as locally displaces oxygen. The very small droplets as such effectively block radiant heat. The HI-FOG® micro-droplets, represent water in its most effective fire fighting form.
