火

“Just as a candle is useless until you light it, so a man is useless until the fire inside his soul is lit.” “A candle can only illuminate its world by allowing itself to be set on fire.” “A small match lights a big fire.”

The tree was on fire but still standing. The last time she’d seen the orchard, it’d been on fire . Her body caught on fire just thinking about it. Jessi’s insides felt like they were on fire .

Fire symbolizes many things, including passion, desire, rebirth, resurrection, eternity, destruction, hope, hell and purification. These symbols have been used in literature, film and religious texts for millennia.

Although fire is considered a very yang element in general, it can exist in either a yang or a yin state because in Taoism all things have both a yin and a yang expression to create balance. When fire expresses masculine yang energy, its color is red and is symbolized by burning wood.

火(hi, ho, ka): fire.

It is the huge quantities of water discharged in a very short time to get the fire under control. In the early stages of a fire, thousands of litres of water are hosed into the environment every minute.

Actually, water pressure is generally stronger than air pressure. If air squirted in, then the air pressure would have to be higher. But since we know that the water would squirt out, we know that the water’s pressure must be stronger.

The fire front burns fastest and hottest and is the most dangerous place.

While blue represents cooler colors to most, it is the opposite in fires, meaning they are the hottest flames. When all flame colors combine, the color is white-blue which is the hottest. Most fires are the result of a chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen called combustion.

Weather and fuel conditions will lead to slow fire spread, low intensity and relatively easy control with light mop-up. There is little danger of spotting. Controlled burns can usually be executed with reasonable safety. VERY HIGH. 4.

Level 3 means danger is currently affecting your area or is imminent, and you should leave immediately.

4 Stages

Stage One – Ignition (Incipient) The incipient stage is when it’s crucial to fight a fire because it is easiest to suppress it at this point, and it will cause the least damage.

decay stage

Generally, there are four ways that fire can spread via heat transfer. These are through convection, conduction, radiation, and direct burning.

Stages of fire

• Ignition: Fuel, oxygen and heat join together in a sustained chemical reaction.
• Growth: With the initial flame as a heat source, additional fuel ignites.
• Fully developed: Fire has spread over much if not all the available fuel; temperatures reach their peak, resulting in heat damage.

3) Fully Developed (Transition): As more fuel becomes consumed, the fire moves into a fully developed state. This is the most dangerous phase of a fire, and the hottest. At the peak of combustion, once all the material has been ignited, the fire begins its downward spiral.

Firelighting (also called firestarting, fire making, or fire craft) is the process of starting a fire artificially. The ignition of any fire, whether natural or artificial, requires completing the fire triangle, usually by initiating the combustion of a suitably flammable material.

Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep

All fires can be extinguished by cooling, smothering, starving or by interrupting the combustion process to extinguish the fire. One of the most common methods of extinguishing a fire is by cooling with water.

The most likely route for evacuation of patients is laterally. Evacuate all patients nearest the danger area first.
