Economic
BENEFITS
Fire can be used as a tool
in some industries, such
as forestry, to manage
forests and promote
healthy growth. It can
also be used to clear land
for agriculture or
development.

Smoke from fires can have serious
health effects, particularly for
people with respiratory problems
such as asthma or chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD). It can also cause eye and
skin irritation, and increase the risk
of heart disease and stroke.
Fire Triangle
The fire triangle or
combustion triangle is a
simple model for
understanding the
necessary ingredients for
most fires. The triangle
illustrates the three
elements a fire needs to
ignite: heat, fuel, and an
oxidizing agent (usually
oxygen).
A fire naturally occurs

present and combined in
the right mixture, meaning

prevented thing.
extinguished by removing any
one of the elements in the fire
triangle.
For example:
Covering a fire with fire
blanket removes the oxygen
part of the triangle and can
extinguish a fire.
Fuel
in order for a fire to start
there must be a material to
burn – and this is referred to
as the fuel.

Examples:
Paper, oils, woods,
gases, plastics and
rubber.
Heat
In addition to a fuel source,
heat must be present in order
for ignition to take place.
All flammable materials
give off flammable vapors
which undergoes
combustion, when heat is
present
n
aside from fuel and heat, fire
also needs oxygen to keep
burning. It acts as the
oxidizing agent in the
chemical reaction.
This means that when the
fuel burns, it reacts with
the oxygen to release
heat and generate
combustion.

Hazards

Electrica
l
Fire hazards occurring due to
electrical equipment is
common in manufacturing or
industrial facilities. Exposed
wires, overloaded outlets, or
static discharge can all
increase the risks of fires at
work.
18
Incendiaris
mIt pertains to the
malicious burning of
property, using certain
chemicals, bombs, etc.,
and causing fire start.
Open
flames
Unattended burning candles or
kerosene lamps that are placed
near flammable/ combustible
material is a fire waiting to
happen. Unattended cooking
causes most fires in the homes
that occur in the kitchen. Oil or fat
starting to smoke is near the
combustion point and can ignite
violently.
Liquefied Petroleum
Gas
Fire hazards occurring due to
electrical equipment is
common in manufacturing or
industrial facilities. Exposed
wires, overloaded outlets, or
static discharge can all
increase the risks of fires at
work.
21
Firework
s
A fire started by a firework can
be caused by the discharge of
large amounts of chemicals or
gases in the device before
ignition. These chemicals may
include glass, metal, and other
items used in manufacturing the
device and gun powder from
fireworks that were not
adequately extinguished after
use. 22
Spontaneous
Ignition
Is the occurrence of fire
without the application of an
external heat source. Due to
chemical, biological, or
physical processes,
combustible materials self-
heat to a temperature high
enough for ignition to occur.
23
Static Electricity
Static electricity is also
a known risk. Under
certain circumstances,
a discharge of static
electricity can create
the spark that starts a
fire or triggers an
explosion
24
Smoking
Careless smoking
especially in bed is a
leading cause of fire in
the homes. In the
Philippines it is the fourth
leading cause of fire

Consider you are living in an
area where houses are made
out of light materials and are
very close to one another.
“How are you going to apply
the concepts of the fire
triangle in preparation in times
of fire occurrence?”
sooner of later you may
experience fire especially if the
materials surrounding you are
light and that could easily catch
fire.

“Explain how important

recognizing fire triangle in
extinguishing the fire?”
