...The word fire is defined by webster as the phenomenon of combustion manifested in light, flame, and heat. What this definiton does not tell you is how dangerous a fire can be if you are not aware of its capability to spread and grow rapidly. Fires can be very dangerous and harmful. It is important to education each other as much as possibe to help prevent injries or deadly accidents. There are four stages that happen in every fire. Those stages are Incipient, Growth, Fully Developed, and Decay. Each stage plays a role in every fire. Understanding each stage, and how to handle or prevent it is critical in becoming in control of a fire. Flameovers and backdrafts are not consider stages, but also are definitely factors of a fire. These factors sometimes can be prevented. Some methods of prevention are taugh at fire academies, or fire schools, to new firefighters, and are constistly being developed. Incipient, also know as the "ignition" stage, is the first stage of a fire. In this stage smoke may began before the fire actually flames up. This is the stage where heat, oxygen, and a fuel source combine to ignite the fire. At this stage it can be controlled by a household fire extinguinsher. Growth is the second stage of a fire. With the initial flame used as a heat sourse, more flames flare up. Flaring up makes the size of the fire increase and the plume reaches the ceiling. In a room hot gases meet at the celing of the roomwhich cause all fuels in that room...

...Discuss the possible damage with short term and long-term complications of a firefighter inhaling heated air and in respiratory distress. Prioritize the necessary interventions to stabilize the patient. Then discuss an in-depth plan of care for recovery. Smoke inhalation is known as the leading cause of death due to fires. Firefighters are trained to recognize the dangerous short-term effects of smoke exposure caused by carbon monoxide and tiny particles absorbed into the lungs. The inhalation of heated air produces injury through several mechanisms, including thermal injury to the upper airway, irritation or chemical injury to the airways from soot, asphyxiation, and toxicity from carbon monoxide. In most cases firefighters can wear devices...

...During the unloading process at the HLF Polyurethane Manufacturing plants, a vapor return line ruptured causing a fire. This is due to a nearby welding operations at gave the vapor a point of ignition. The product that was being delivered to the manufacturing plant was toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), which are products used in the production of polyurethane. Once the fire was recognized the alarm was sounded and the emergency response team was notified. The fire department was notified and the command area was establish and the emergency response plan was put into action by the incident commander. The emergency response team was not able to isolate the source, ultimately turning over the incident command and control of the fire to the fire department upon their arrival (Meyer, 2014). Two of the hazardous material that are used to manufacture polyurethane is toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI).

...Uncontrolled blazes fueled by weather, wind, and dry underbrush, wildfires can burn acres of land—and consume everything in their paths—in mere minutes. On average, more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, clear 4 million to 5 million acres (1.6 million to 2 million hectares) of land in the U.S. every year. In recent years, wildfires have burned up to 9 million acres (3.6 million hectares) of land. A wildfire moves at speeds of up to 14 miles an hour (23 kilometers an hour), consuming everything—trees, brush, homes, even humans—in its path. HOW THEY ARE FORMED There are three conditions that need to be present in order for a wildfire to burn, which firefighters refer to as the fire triangle: fuel, oxygen, and...

...Bath and Body Works, or Yankee Candle Company, Scentsy Wickless Warmers are a safer, affordable and more efficient alternative, while providing many of the same results that you can get with traditional candles. Do you know how many house fires are caused by candles? According to U.S. Fire Administration (2013), 42 home fires are reported every day. That’s 15,260 each year! One-Fifth of reported candle fires, the candles are unattended or abandoned, and more than half of these candle fires start because something that can burn is too close to the open flame, such as mattresses, bedding, or curtains. Someone falling asleep while a candle is burning is a major concern when it comes to candles, and this exact situation accounts for 12% of these home fires. Scentsy Wickless Warmers use a low watt light bulb, instead of fire or flame, to heat the wax to a temperature just above body temperature; the risk of house fire is drastically reduced without an open flame. Although it is the most tragic, fire is not the only hazard that traditional candles pose. Because the fire burns the wick, wax and whatever is in the candle. These chemicals, toxins and allergens are released into the air that we breathe which could be just as deadly as a fire for some people, because it may aggravate asthma, cause allergy-like symptoms, or irritate the respiratory tract. Ever wonder what could be in the candles you burn? Well according to a study by South Carolina State University in 2009 ("Cnn...

...eliminate the Technical Bulletin 117 for many years after discovering the dangers of the furniture but have come up short and unsuccessful in banning it all together. In my opinion, I believe the California legislator made the right choice to make furniture flame retardant because at the time it seemed like it was a phenomenal idea. Giving people 12 more seconds to evacuate their home before their furniture was fully engulfed in flames was a great idea. But now with the test that have been done and the studies showing that cancerous chemicals are in these pieces of furniture that people sit and live on, this bulletin needs to be changed. It’s a great thing that it helps stop a fire engulf the whole living room in a short amount of time, but people sit and lay on these things all year round. If a fire is serious enough to kill you in...

...and running for their lives, you just witnessed a wildfire. Wildfires happen everywhere. They can start by natural cause or even human cause. A wildfire is defined as an uncontrolled fire, usually in places of high vegetation, such as forest, and in places with lots of wind. Wildfires are ‘quasi-natural’ hazards, meaning that they are not entirely natural features. They can also be caused by human error as well. The four major causes of wildfire ignitions are lightning, volcanic eruptions, sparks from rockfalls, and spontaneous combustion: the ignition of organic matter without apparent cause, typically through heat generated...

...think fire fighting would be a fun and exciting job. When I watch firefighters battling fires on the news, it makes me want to be out there fighting the fire with them. I also like the idea that I would be helping many people. For example, during 9/11 many firefighters risked and lost their lives going into the badly damaged World Trade Center towers to save the lives of people they did not even know. Every little boy dreams of becoming a police officer or firefighter so that they can ride around in a car or truck with sirens blaring. Now that I have grown older I still want to be a firefighter. That is why I decided to join a six-week high school fire academy at West L.A. College last summer. During those six weeks I learned how to use a firefighter’s hose and how the different nozzles function. I learned the fire-fighting lingo, like “run” means an incident, or “size up” is a verbal picture of the incident that says, “I’m at… I need… I have.” One of the most important things I learned at the Fire Academy was teamwork and how not doing your job could result in the serious injury or even death of one of the members of your Engine Company. Although it was an extreme amount of work and it was a huge sacrifice to give up my summer, this experience only strengthened my desire to become a firefighter. In my eyes a firefighter is not just somebody doing his or her job, he’s a super hero. When someone is trapped in a burning building, a firefighter battles the monster (fire) with...
