PART 1. EVALUATE
1. What is fire safety?
Answer
Refers to planning and infrastructure design aimed at reducing the risk of fire or impeding the spread of a fire
when one does break out. Fire safety encompasses the use of fire-resistant building materials, preventative
actions, safe work practices, fire safety training, flame-resistant protective clothing, and more
2. What is does NFA stand for?

Answer
National Fire Academy
3. What is fire mean?

Answer
Combustion occurs when a material is ignited and mixed with oxygen, resulting in fire. Light, heat, and a
visual appearance such as orange or yellow flames are produced as a result.
4. What are the different fire protections?

Answer:
 Implementing safety planning practices and drills
 Providing education on fire risks and safety
 Conducting research and investigations
 Safety planning
 Fire-resistant building construction materials and practices
 Safe operations
 Training and testing of mitigating systems
5. What are the different hazard controls?

Answer:
1. Elimination: This involves elimination of the hazard. It is the most effective measure, but may not always
be possible. For example, working at heights may be a required part of some jobs.
2. Engineering Controls: This involves modifying the plant or equipment so that the associated hazards are
reduced. For example, a plant might add a ventilation system.

3. Administrative Control: This involves changing the way in which a particular type of work is carried out.
This is achieved by changing the timing of the work and/or changing policies and procedures.
4. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): This is considered a last resort for employee protection for when
other controls fail. It includes things like helmets, eye protection and safety footwear and while it is helpful, it
is the least effective control in the safety hazard control hierarchy.
6. What are the different classes of fire?

Answer
Class A Fire A class A fire refers to a fire that involves solid combustibles such as wood, coal, paper, plastic,
straw, cloth, rubber or any other solid material. These solid substances are mainly of organic origin and
contain carbon and its compounds.
Class B Fire Class B fire refers to a fire involving flammable liquids such as petroleum (gasoline, kerosene,
petrol, diesel, octane, etc.), paint, alcohol, solvent, oil and tar, etc. that normally do not leave any embers or
residues (or very low amounts of residues). Most of these liquids have a high carbon content and the
compounds in them and are highly combustible.
Class C Fire A class C fire refers to a fire that involves flammable gases such as natural gas, petroleum gas,
butane, hydrogen, acetylene or propane. These gases are highly combustible and may cause large scale fires
and explosions if mixed with enough oxygen.
Class D Fire A class D fire refers to a fire that involves in burning of some extraordinary metals such as
sodium, magnesium, aluminum, potassium, lithium, titanium, zirconium and some of their alloys.
Class D Fire A class D fire refers to a fire that involves in burning of some extraordinary metals such as
sodium, magnesium, aluminum, potassium, lithium, titanium, zirconium and some of their alloys.
PART 2. EXTEND
1. Why safety precaution is necessary?

Answer
For them to know the other risk that may come upon. And for them to properly plan the things must do in
eliminating fire for the safety of the civilians around the area.
2. Who can give fire safety training?

Answer
Fire Fighter, Professional fire fighters of the government and other public services are highly trained, wear
special personal protective equipment and gear and use special vehicles and equipment. A fire fighter is a
person or employee who fights and extinguishes fires. This individual has theoretical and practical knowledge
about procedures by which to extinguish fires using the correct type of extinguishers or other appliances.
3. Why is fire safety education and training important?

Answer
It is important for people because to avoid panic and thru ignorance of what must right thing to do will
jeopardize others because of that. Thru that we can help to eliminate or lessen the damage that may cause by
fire if we are knowledgeable upon proper actions in case of fire in the area.
