METHODS OF FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT — KNOW HOW FIRES ARE STOPPED

🔥 METHODS OF FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT — KNOW HOW FIRES ARE STOPPED 🔥 Fire does not go out by luck—it goes out by science and strategy. A fire can only exist when four elements are present: heat, fuel, oxygen, and a chemical chain reaction. To stop a fire, firefighters remove at least one of these elements. That’s the foundation of fire control and fire safety. 🚒 The four methods of fire extinguishment explained: 🔹 Cooling – Water absorbs heat and lowers the temperature below ignition. 🔹 Smothering – Covers the fire to cut off oxygen. 🔹 Fuel Removal (Starvation) – Shutting off or removing what’s burning. 🔹 Inhibiting the Chemical Chain Reaction – Special agents stop the fire at the molecular level. Each method is effective only when used on the correct type of fire. Using the wrong method—or the wrong extinguisher—can make the situation worse. 🔥 Why this matters: ✔ Prevents fire spread ✔ Protects lives and property ✔ Helps responders and civilians act correctly ✔ Reduces injuries and damage Fire safety isn’t just for firefighters—it’s for everyone. Understanding how fires are extinguished helps you respond smarter, safer, and faster. 🔥 Knowledge is protection. Train smart. Choose the right method. Stay safe.
