1.DIFFERENT TYPES OF FIRE ?

Class A
Class A fires are defined as ordinary combustibles. These types are fires use commonly
flammable material as their fuel source. Wood, fabric, paper, trash ,and plastics are common
sources of Class A fires. This is essentially the common accidental fire encountered across
several different industries. Trash fires are one such example. Class A fires are commonly put
out with water or monoammonium phosphate.

Class B
The Class B fire is defined as one that uses a flammable liquid or gas as its fuel base. Common
liquid based fuel sources include petroleum based oils and paints, kerosene, and gasoline.
Flammable gases such as butane or propane are also common fuel sources in Class B fires.
Class B fires are a common hazard in industries dealing with fuels, lubricants, and certain types
of paint. Smothering these types of fires to remove oxygen is a common solution as are chemical
reactionsthat produce similar effects. Note that cooking fires have their own classification and are
defined as Class K fires.

Class C
The Class C fire is defined as a fire that uses electrical components and/or energized equipment
as its fuel source. Electrical fires are often fueled by motors, appliances, and electronic
transformers. Electrical fires are common in industries that deal with energy or make use of
heavy electrically-powered equipment. However, electrical fires can occur on smaller scales in all
businesses (i.e. an overloaded surge protector or bad wiring) and should be taken seriously.
To extinguish such fires you cut the power off and use non-conductive chemicals to extinguish
the fire.

Class D
The Class D fire is defined as one that uses a combustible metal as its fuel source. Examples of
such combustible metals include titanium, magnesium, aluminum, and potassium. Note that
there are also other metals with combustive properties you may encounter. Class D fires are a
danger in laboratory environments. However, be aware that combustible metals are used as part
of production and other industry processes, and you need to be certain of what materials you are
using for day-to-day operations. When confronted with such a fire, common extinguishing agents
such as water are ineffective and can be hazardous. To extinguish a Class D fire, use a dry
powder agent. This absorbs the heat the fire requires to burn and smothers it as well.

Class K
A Class K fire is defined as a cooking fire involving combustion from liquids used in food
preparation. Technically a type of liquid fire, Class K fires are distinct enough to warrant their own
classification. Cooking fires are fueled by a wide range of liquid cooking materials. Greases,
cooking oils, vegetable fat, and animal fat are all fuel sources found in Class K fires. Class K fires
are naturally of concern in the food service and restaurant industry. Such fires can be very
dangerous and far more destructive than you may think. Wet chemical fire extinguishers have
become popular in putting out these types of fires.
2.Firefighter duties

A firefighter's goals are to save lives, property, and the environment. A fire can rapidly spread
and endanger many lives, but with modern firefighting techniques, catastrophe can often be
avoided. To prevent fires from starting, a firefighter's duties may include public education
about fire safety and conducting fire inspections of locations to verify their adherence to local fire
codes.

Firefighter skills
Firefighting requires skills in combating, extinguishing, and preventing fires, responding to
emergency calls, operating and maintaining fire department equipment and quarters, and
extensive training in performing firefighting activities. Firefighters must also have, or be able to
acquire, knowledge of department organizations, operations, and procedures, and the district or
city street system they will have to negotiate in order to perform their duties.
They must meet minimum physical fitness standards and learn various firefighting duties within a
reasonable period
Examples are:

 Structural firefighting PPE and SCBA

 Fire extinguishers
 Ropes and knots
 Forcible entry
 Ladders
 Ventilation
 Water supply and hydrants
 Fire attack and foam
 Firefighter survival
 Overhaul
 Wildland and ground fire suppression
 Structural fire suppression
 Public fire prevention education

Specialized skills[edit]
Examples are:

 Aerial firefighting
 Aircraft firefighting
 Hazardous materials firefighting

 High-rise firefighting

 Maritime firefighting
 Shipboard firefighting
 Wildland firefighting
 3.Shift hours
Firefighters typically follow a 24-hour shift schedule, although some fire departments work eight
or 12 hour shifts. Australian firefighters work a 10/14 shift, in which the day shift works ten hours
and the night shift works 14 hours.Firefighting personnel are split up into alternating shifts.
Usually, the 24 hour shifts are followed by two days off. The shift personnel arrive for roll call at a
specified time, ready to complete a regular tour of duty. While on shift, the firefighter remains at
the fire station unless relieved or assigned other duties.

5.TYPES OF VEHICLE USED ?

WATER TENDER
A water tender, also known as a tanker in some regions, is a specialized firefighting apparatus
designed for transporting water from a water source to a fire scene.[1]Water tenders are capable
of drafting water from a stream, lake or hydrant.
Water tenders are used when there is no working fire hydrant within reach of other fire
equipment, potentially supplying the fire engine(s) with a very rapid connection. Most water
tenders are designed to carry loads of 1000 gallons (approx. 3800 litres) or more. Some may
carry up to 5000 gallons (approx. 19,000 litres) of water – even more with a trailer.
A water tender typically carries some fire fighting equipment. There are various national
standards and recommendations on equipment to be carried on water tenders.Some water
tenders may carry various kinds of hoses and spray nozzles for use in forest, building, or
industrial fires, as well as a portable water tank. In addition, tools like axes, flashlights, chemical
portable fire extinguishers, a water extinguisher, an SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus),
a first aid kit, adapters, and a hydrant wrench can be required.

DCP TENDER
Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) system which is an excellent vessel that can discharge a total of 250 kg of
DCP through a 30 m hose at 2.5 kg/sec using dry nitrogen as the propellant. Its storage compartments
encompass a wide variety of rescue equipment like breathing apparatus and cutting equipments. Each
 vessel is fitted with battery gas cylinders and also has additional cylinders in spare capacity in case of
emergencies.

 DCP System available in 250 – 4000 Kgs Capacity

 CO2 System available in multiples of 22.5 Kgs Capacity
 DCP Vessels made as per ASME Code Section VIII of ASTM SA -516 (Grade 70) Plates
 Superstructure options include Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Extruded Aluminium Profiles & GRP
 DCP System mounted on Subframe
 MCD France made Aluminium Roller Shutters with LED Lighting optionally available

FOAM TENDER
Foam Tenders carries 1,800 liters of Flouro protein foam liquid and foam making equipment. It is used for
fighting fires that involve flammable liquids . These foam tenders prevent liquid spills from igniting. This
vehicle carries high expansion foam for dealing with fires in restricted access areas, such as basements,
ship holds etc.
 Vehicle made on 16 – 31 Ton GVW Chassis
