As in any chemical reaction, the way to prevent or stop it is to remove one or more of the necessary triggers. The chemistry of fire is displayed clearly in the fire triangle opposite. These are: AIR: For a fire to burn a good flow of oxygen is required - one of the key methods of fire fighting is to smother it, therefore removing an essential element of fire. HEAT: “Where there`s smoke there`s fire” is an old saying, and it`s still true. Heat is required to convert the fuel source into flammable vapours, which can then ignite as fire. FUEL: SOURCE OF HEAT For any fire to burn a flammable fuel source is required. Many people wrongly suppose that it is the fuel itself that HEATING OF FUEL burns - instead the fuel is heated, emitting flammable vapours which then react with the oxygen supply in the air to cause fire. The lesson in this is simple - remove the heat and the fire will naturally go out; this also is key in preventing RELEASE OF VAPOURS flashbacks. FIRE PREVENTION IGNITION OF VAPOURS From looking at the fire triangle and the feedback loop of fire FIRE! (opposite) the basics of fire fighting and fire prevention become clear. It is much better to prevent the fire in the first instance by taking reasonable measures to stop the three elements from coming together rather than dealing with the RELEASE RELEASE OF damage that it causes. OF HEAT VAPOURS Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, 2005, every organisation must carry out a fire risk assessment. Our team of professional assessors will be able to offer advice on how to minimise the risks involved in your operations, HEATING OF FUEL keeping you and your employees safe.
