Firefighting training and how to use fire extinguishers

Fire is a common occurrence. Therefore, obtaining sufficient information for the time of facing this accident is a requirement that not only the personnel of a workplace are required to learn these principles, but also this information is needed by every citizen.

For this purpose, a firefighting training class and how to use extinguishers was held on12/07/2020  for patients' companions. In this class, Ms. Nazari (HSE expert) explained about the fire and how to deal with it and the fire triangle and Mr. Ganji, the fire chief, about the types of fire extinguishers and how to use them.

What is a fire triangle?

The three sides of the fire triangle represent the three elements of fire, which are heat, fuel, and oxygen.

The three elements must be in the right proportions for a fire to occur. If any of the three elements are removed, the fire is extinguished.

An important element in the fire triangle is the element of heat. A fire cannot be ignited unless it has a certain amount of heat.

Types of fire extinguishers:

1- Water and gas capsules

2- Powder capsules

3- CO2 capsule
