THE CONCEPT OF "FIRE TRIANGLE" To understand how a fire extinguisher works, you should know a little about fire Four things need to be present at the same time to produce a flame: 1) Enough oxygen to keep burning 2) Enough heat to raise the temperature of the material to burn 3) Some types of fuels or flammable materials 4) An exothermic chemical reaction that produces heat
- 6. • The important thing to remember is this: If any of the four missing, the fire will not occur or will be erased. • Oxygen, heat, and fuel is often referred to as the "fire triangle" added the fourth element, a chemical reaction, will result in fire • Fire safety, the most basic, is based on the principle of keeping the supply of fuel and ignition sources separately
