16
Q

In this stage, All combustibles materials present are continuously burning. While unburned gasses begin flowing to adjacent spaces and ignite once it enters a space where air more abundant.

A

Fully Developed

17
Q

In this stage, intensity of fire decreasing due to lack of available fuel.

A

Decay

18
Q

In this stage, Temperature and smoke level increases. Hot gasses rise to the ceiling and spreads outward the walls.

A

Growth stage

19
Q

It is the Transition between growth and fully developed stage. In addition, there is an increasing level of smoke with decreased visibility.

A

Flash Over

20
Q

In this stage, maximum amount of heat is released and the volume of fire is dependent of the number and size of ventilation openings.

A

Fully Developed

21
Q

What are the Methods of Heat Transfer?

A

-By Radiation
-By Convection
-By Conduction
-By Direct Contact

22
Q

It is the transmission of heat energy through electromagnetic wave.

A

Radiation

23
Q

It is the transfer of heat energy by the movement of heated
fluids.

A

Convection

24
Q

It is the transmission of heat from one body to another. It is the transfer of heat from one molecule to another molecule

A

Conduction

25
Q

What is in the Fire Extinguishment Theory?

A

-Cooling-temperature reduction
-Smothering-oxygen dilution
-Fuel Removal
-Inhibition-breaking the chemical reaction

26
Q
  1. Use something that absorb heat
  2. Use water being the best cooling agent
  3. Use foam which contains 94% water
A

Reduction of Heat

27
Q
  1. Secure the door at close position
  2. Displacement or diluting oxygen by means
    of CO2
  3. Blanketing- using wet blanket as foam
A
