Review the scenario below, and write a 2-to-4 page paper (excluding cover and reference pages) that discusses extinguishment methods and effective use of clean agent systems.
Scenario
You have been asked to give a short presentation to a group of recruit firefighters at their basic training on the following topics:
Describe the following extinguishing systems:
Wet
Dry Chemical
Gaseous Extinguishing
Provide an example of where each type of system would be used.
Include the three different types of foam products and what type of hazard each foam product will protect.
Support your rational with a minimum of three credible resources.
Format your work consistent with APA guidelines.
Chapter 9: “Wet and Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systemsâ€
Wet and dry chemical extinguishing systems provide an alternative to water where the use of water could have little effect, no effect, or make the situation worse. The most common use for wet chemical extinguishing systems is to extinguish fires in commercial kitchen cooking equipment. The most common use for dry chemical extinguishing systems is to extinguish flammable and combustible liquid fires. Both systems use similar types of components, share design and operational characteristics, and in many instances are pre- engineered. In addition, these systems use a gas to expel the agent, operate by manual and automatic means, and have a finite amount of extinguishing agent available to extinguish a fire. In this chapter, the discussion covers the applicable design standards, components, agents, types of systems, applications, and inspection, testing, and maintenance associated with fixed wet and dry chemical systems.
Chapter 10: “Gaseous Agent Extinguishing Systemsâ€
Water has been and continues to be the most important and abundant suppression agent to combat most types of fires. However, the innovation and development of new materials, machines, processes, and technologies throughout the past 100 years set in motion the need to create alternative extinguishing agents that could deal with fuels in situations where the use of water as the suppression agent could make the situation worse. In some cases, the environment, logistics, and technological application made it impractical to use and store the large quantities of water necessary to control and extinguish a fire. Another consideration leading to the creation of alternative agents was the need to prevent water damage to extremely valuable or irreplaceable property and equipment.
