Fire can be classified as:
- Solid Fire - A (e.g., paper, wood, etc.)
- Liquid Fire - B (Inflammable liquids like oil, petrol, etc.)
- Gas Fire - C
- Metallic Fire - D
Fire Prevention Plan:
List out major fire hazards of the office/factory.
Nominate people in respective areas for maintaining fire equipment - extinguishers, Fire Alarm systems, etc.
Provide training from time to time.
Maintain close contact with the fire station.
Ensure the most important check and keep equipment as per laws applicable to your industry and state.
If fire inspection is mandatory, get it done by the nearest fire service officials.
Have well-marked fire exits, which should be kept clear of obstructions.
Lifts should not be used during a fire.
Adequate fire extinguishers should be procured and placed at important places.
How to Tackle Fires:
Always have an evacuation plan for staff and visitors and rehearse them at fixed intervals.
Tackling a fire is easier when it is detected at an early stage.
Ensure your fire alarms and detectors are always serviceable.
Display the fire station number at prominent places.
Fix exit signs and directions at appropriate places and ensure they are visible even in darkness.
Arrange for frequent checks of wiring by qualified electrical personnel.
Organizations need to have a firefighting plan in which hazards are listed out, fire precautions are planned and tested.
