Q

stages of fire:

  • point wherein the fire starts
  • there is plenty of oxygen, little heat and smoke
  • fire is still small and generally confined to the fuel that initially ignited
A

ignition stage

17
Q

stages of fire:

  • temperature and smoke level increases
  • oxygen level decreased and the fuel is already dried out
  • hot gasses rise to the ceiling and spreads outward the walls
  • can be continuous if there is enough fuel and oxygen
  • the smoke layer is getting thicker and fire is starting to spread to nearby furniture
A

growth stage

18
Q

stages of fire:

  • transition between growth and fully developed stage
  • presence of huge smoke which indicates the rapid change of situation
  • may involve exposed combustibles
  • increasing level of smoke with decreased visibility
  • gasses are generated by heat
A

flash over stage

19
Q

stages of fire:

  • all combustibles materials present are
    continuously burning
  • maximum amount of heat is released
  • the volume of fire is dependent of the number and size of ventilation openings
  • unburned gasses begin flowing to adjacent spaces and ignite once it enters a space where air more abundant
A

fully developed stage

20
Q

stages of fire:

  • intensity of fire decreasing due to lack of available fuel
  • most of fuel consumed
  • effort concentrated on cooling of the remaining fuel
A

decay stage

21
Q

what are the five stages of fire?

A
  • ignition stage
  • growth stage
  • flash over stage
  • fully developed stage
  • decay stage
22
Q

methods of heat transfer:

the transmission of heat energy through electromagnetic wave

A

by radiation

23
Q

methods of heat transfer:

the transfer of heat energy by the movement of heated fluids

A

by convection

24
Q

methods of heat transfer:

the transmission of heat from one body to another; it is the transfer of heat from one molecule to another molecule

A

by conduction

25
Q

what are the methods of heat transfer?

A
  • by radiation
  • by convection
  • by conduction
  • by direct contact
