Match the classes of fire with their characteristics.

1. Class A fire. (General fire)

2. Class b fire. (Oil fire)

3. Class C fire. (Electrical fire)

4. Class D fire. (Chemical fire)

a) Extinguishers of this class of fire are commonly found in a chemical laboratory.

b) This fire involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil.

c) Extinguishers of this class of fire do not have a numerical rating.

d) Extinguishers of this class of fire are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics.

e) Never use water to extinguish this class of fires.

f) The numerical rating for this class of fire extinguishers indicates the approximate number of square feet of fire it can extinguish.

g) This class of fire involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium.

h) The extinguishing agent is non-conductive in extinguishers for this class of fire.

i) The numerical rating on extinguishers for this class of fire indicates the amount of water it holds and the amount of fire it can extinguish.

Restore and retell the part from the text about classes of fires. Insert the following missing words and word combination.

A numerical rating, electrical shock, combustible liquids, chemical, categories, the number, water, square feet, fires, combustible, multi-purpose rating, fire fighting, fire, water, extinguish, non-conductive, the extinguisher.

Fire extinguishers are divided into four_____, based on different types of _____. Each fire _____ also has _____ _____ that serves as a guide for the amount of fire _____can handle. The higher _____ the more _____ _____ power. The following is a quick guide to help choose the right type of extinguisher.

Class A extinguishers are for ordinary _____ materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics. The numerical rating on these types of extinguishers indicates the amount of_____ it holds and the amount of _____ it can extinguish.

Class B fires involve flammable or _____ _____ such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil. The numerical rating for class B extinguishers indicates the approximate number of _____ _____ of fire it can extinguish.

Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Never use _____ to extinguish class C fires - the risk of _____ _____ is far too great! Class C extinguishers do not have a numerical rating. The C classification means the extinguishing agent is _____.

Class D fire extinguishers are commonly found in a _____ laboratory. They are for fires that involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium. These types of extinguishers also have no numerical rating, nor are they given a _____ _____ _____ - they are designed for class D fires only.

1. Часто пожар на борту судна происходит из-за небрежности и безответственности членов экипажа.

2. На борту судна находятся тоны горючего материала, разнообразное электрическое оборудование, установки конденционирования воздуха и т.д., что повышает риск пожара.

3. Особое внимание следует уделять предупреждению пожара.

4. Методы тушения пожаров отрабатываются на учениях согласно расписанию по тревогам.

5. Тушение пожара рекомендуется осуществлять, в следующем порядке:

-прекратить доступ горючих веществ в очаг пожара;

-изолировать очаг пожара от доступа воздуха;

-охладить горючие вещества до температуры, которая ниже температуры воспламенения их газов;

6. При тушении пожара необходимо учитывать:

-возникновение угрозы отравления людей; особенно при тушении горящих химикатов;

-возможность проникновения ядовитых и отравляющих газов в соседние помещения;

-отсутствие примеси пара в дыму при тушении пожара водой (вода не достигает очага пожара).
