Question

Write various methods of

fire extinction.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

All fires can be extinguished by cooling, smothering, starving or by interrupting the combustion process to extinguish the fire.

Cooling: limiting temperature by increasing the rate at which heat is lost from the burning material

Smothering: limiting oxygen by preventing air from reaching the seat of the fire to allow the combustion process to reduce the oxygen content in the confined atmosphere until it extinguishes itself

Starving: limiting fuel by removing potential fuel from the vicinity of the fire, removing the fire from the mass of combustible materials or by dividing the burning material into smaller fires that can be extinguished more easily

Interrupting: inhibiting the chemical chain reaction by applying extinguishing media to the fire that inhibit the chemical chain reaction at the molecular level)
