Fire Awareness Training ProgrammeConducted by
Ceasefire Industries Ltd.
Need Of Training
Every year thousands of offices, shops and factories are gutted by fire.
Most of these had fire extinguishers installed.
BUT
Statistic says that even the most advanced fire fighting equipment is greatly hampered when the user is
“untrained”
And
“lack of training” is found a biggest fire risk.
What is Fire?
Chemistry of Fire Fire is a chain chemical reaction in which combustible materials combine with oxygen in the atmosphere to give out heat.
Solids, Liquids or gases ( Wood, petrol, or LPG)
Fuel + Heat +Air = Fire
Ignition source : such as cooking, smoking, electrical equipment
Oxygen in
atmosphere
Classes of Fire
Class A Materials like wood, paper, cloth, etc. Class B Inflammable liquids like petrol, kerosene
& organic solvents Class C Domestic & Industrial gases like LPG,
CNG, Butane, Propane, etc.
ESF Electrically started fire which occur due
to short circuits, overloads, etc. & lead to other classes of fire by sparks falling on burning material
Class F Cooking oils used in Kitchen.
Classifications of Fire is based on Classifications of Fire is based on “Fuel”“Fuel”
Stages of Fire
Stage I : IGNITION - the only stage when a fire extinguisher can be used.
Stage II: CRITICAL - Fires move and grow rapidly….Portable as well as Trolly Mounted Fire Extinguishers are required to fight it.
Stage III – BLAZE - Where only Watermist, Hydrants, Sprinkler Systems and the Fire Brigade can help.

Stages of Fire
Critical Stage
Blaze Stage
Class A 3- 10 mins. 10 mins. + Class B 0 – 1 mins. 1mins. + Class C 0 – 30 secs. 30 secs. + ESF Time cannot be estimated as it
depends on the thickness of the fuse wire, condition of the wire and it’s load taking capacity – leads to a fire in another class – generally “Class A”
The following box illustrates the time periods taken by various classes of fires to reach their Critical / Blaze Stages
Thus it is obvious, that in any case one gets at the most a time period of 3 minutes to detect a fire and Extinguish.
Beyond that time, it is only a recovery operation that can be undertaken.

The Ceasefire Solution – The Ceasefire Solution –
BETTER the DESIGN to
The CeasefireCeasefire Extinguisher’s basic positioning was –
1. Activation within the first few seconds &
2. Can be used by untrained people
The Ceasefire R&D Team ventured full throttle into developing Ceasefire extinguishers which would complement the need of this segment
• The past being the precedent for our future, the
potential is immense.
• The completeness of our range, superiority of Ceasefire and our ability to provide quality and reliable services puts us way above the other players in this industry.
