A

Fire Risk Assesment

24
Q
  • A,B,C
  • The most common fire extinguisher used because it can extinguish most fires.
25
- A, B - Useful for extinguishing combustible solids and liquids. The foam creates a coating that removes the heat
Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF)
26
- A,B,C - A halogenated or Clean agent that extinguishes the fire by interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire.
Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) 123
27
-B,C - Most effective in enclosed spaces as it reduces the oxygen concentration of the area.
Carbon Dioxide
28
- A - Only useful for solid combustible materials because it interacts negativelh on other fire class types
Water
29
- D - only effective against class D fires
Dry Powder
30
- K - Developed specifically for class K fires for areas highly vulnerable to this class of fire
Wet Chemical
31
happens when all the elements of the fire triangle come together, also known as incipient phase.
Ignition Phase
32
A type of ignition where it starts off because of the interaction of fuel and oxygen with an external heat source.
Piloted Ignition
33
A type of ignition where a fire can start because of spontaneous combustion coming from the internal heat of the material.
Auto ignition
34
also known as the free burning phase. Occurs when additional fuel is being eaten up by the ignited fire. The fire expands and spreads more as the fire consumes more fuel.
Growth
35
end phase of growth as it transition into the final phase. Occurs when fuel sources ignite simulaneously or in quick consecutive successions as almost all the fuel reaches their ignition temperature
Flashover
36
When all available fuels have been ignited and are now being burned. The fire is at its maximum size
Fully developed
37
Final phase of fire which happens when a fire starts to diminish in size because of oxygen and fuel being used up.
Decay
38
Occur during decay when a sudden inflow of air occurs, creating a fire exposion
Backdraft
39
The most common way of evacuating the premises, where all occupants exit away from the burning premises at the same time
Simultaneous Evacuation
40
done typically in larger and more complex structures or buildings where whose greater at risk from fire hazards are evacuated first.
Phased Evacuation
41
when its sometimes safer to stay in place or simply move to a safer zone that is still on the premises
Defend-in-place
42
needed for proper evacuation
Escape routes
43
an important tool in preventing and mitigating losses during a fire hazard
Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan
44
enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the philippines
RA 10121 | Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management act of 2010
45
DND Secretary
Gilbero Teodoro Jr.
46
DILG Secretary
Benjamin Abalos Jr.
47
DSWD Secretary
Rexlon Gatchalian
48
NEDA Secretary
Arsenio Balisacan
49
Process of decreasing and preventing the risk of disasters.
Disaster Risc Reduction
50
Expresses the intention of a community to avoid the potential harm of a disaster
Prevention
51
Includes actions and processes to reduce the severity of the impacts of hazards or disaster if it comes to that.
Mitigation
52
The adjustment of the community to actual or expected effects of disaster
Adapation
53
Done by using information gathered by the community, experts, professionals, and the government, to increase capacity of a community
Preparedness
54
The emergency phase of disaster management. This includes actions to provide emergency services and assistance during or after a disaster.
Response
55
Includes the restoration and improvement of the community’s environment
Recovery
56
The rapid restoration of basic services and functions that will allow the community to cope right after a disaster.
Rehabilitation
57
The medium to long term repairs done to sustainably restore critical infrastructures and services needed for the normal functioning of a community affected by the disaster
Reconstruction
