hi there!
see the answer below
fire prevenation is better than fire fight:
It is said - it's always better to be on the safer side rather than regretting over the consequences. Man has developed advanced equipments which have proved to be boonful from time to time. However, some accidents do take place while handling them, resulting in an unbelievable loss of property and also life. one such accident which can occur is - fire.
Fire can occur when there is short circuit in the office or at home. Also, due to carlessness, fire can occur during simple activities like using the iron, smoking, heating of toaster , candles and faulty wiring. In order to prevent such an accident, it is our responsibility to make our home and work place safer by doing arrangements for a fire alarm system. also, by carrying out routine checkups of the wirings, any danger can be prevented effectively. if we take care, remain alert and responsible at all times, no danger of a possible fire will lurk around us. Keeping small kids away from flammable objects will also ensure their safety too. This way, with due precautionary measures, fire fighting won't be necessary at all.
We must always remember, that if we have the will to do something, we can achieve it. fire fighting is a very big task and if we can avoid it by being alert, why shouldn't we do it?
When I came onto the fire department, I was assigned to a ladder company in the South Bronx. I was usually assigned the "can" position. My tools included a 2 ½-gallon extinguisher and a 6-foot hook. The can firefighter's function is to serve as part of the forcible entry team. Their role is to perform forcible entry, locate and confine fire, and search for victims. After the fire is knocked down, it is their job to perform overhaul (pre-control and post-control).
Pre-control is the time in the fire where the situation is still fluid and although the fire is knocked down it is not "under control." We are still looking for pockets of hidden fire. This is a critical point in every operation--we have a handle on the fire but need to make sure that we don't have extension in some hidden void. This isn't the time to be worrying about how much damage we are doing because we need to get ahead of the fire before we have some serious extension.
That being said, we do need to find a balance and be cognizant of causing excessive damage while operating. Treat every operation as if you were operating at your parents' house. If we are called for a kitchen fire, say a pot burning on the stove, ask yourself: is it really necessary to break the windows? Do we really need to operate an 1 ¾-inch hose line in a bedroom and flood a room for a mattress fire? I am not at all advocating that we should ever compromise our operation by worrying about breaking some glass or opening a hoseline. I'm just asking: Where's the balance?
