Fire Service Week Quiz Competition

Fire safety training is required for all employees because it is important for everyone in the workplace to be aware of fire hazards, prevention measures, and evacuation procedures. Fire accidents can occur at any time and can be detrimental to the safety and well-being of all individuals present in the workplace. By providing fire safety training to all employees, organizations can ensure that everyone is equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to respond effectively in case of a fire emergency, reducing the risk of injuries and fatalities.

In order for a fire to burn, it requires three essential ingredients: fuel, heat, and air. Fuel provides the material that will burn, heat is necessary to raise the temperature of the fuel to its ignition point, and air (specifically oxygen) is required for the combustion process. Without any of these elements, a fire cannot be sustained.

All of the methods mentioned (cooling, smothering, and blanketing) can be used to extinguish a fire. Cooling involves reducing the temperature of the fire to a point where it can no longer sustain itself. Smothering involves cutting off the fire's oxygen supply, which helps to extinguish it. Blanketing involves covering the fire with a fire-resistant material to starve it of oxygen and prevent it from spreading. Therefore, all of these methods can be effective in extinguishing a fire.

The correct answer is "Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep." This acronym is commonly used to remember the steps for operating a fire extinguisher. "Pull" refers to pulling the pin to unlock the extinguisher, "Aim" means aiming the nozzle or hose at the base of the fire, "Squeeze" is for squeezing the handle to release the extinguishing agent, and "Sweep" is for sweeping the nozzle from side to side to cover the entire fire area.

In case of an emergency situation while assembling at the emergency assembly point, it is important to take certain precautions. One of the precautions is to see the wind direction, as it can help in determining the safest direction to move or avoid potential hazards. Another precaution is to assemble in a row, which ensures an organized and efficient evacuation process. Lastly, it is crucial to report to the head count in charge, as this allows for accountability and ensures that everyone is present and safe. Therefore, all of the above precautions should be taken in such a situation.

The correct answer is "As soon as possible". When a fire occurs, it is crucial to activate the fire alarm immediately to alert everyone in the vicinity and initiate the evacuation process. Delaying the activation of the fire alarm can lead to a higher risk of injuries or fatalities, as it provides early warning and allows people to evacuate the premises quickly and safely. Therefore, activating the fire alarm as soon as possible is the most appropriate response in such situations.

The correct answer is true because LEL, which stands for Lower Explosive Limit, is a safety parameter used to determine the minimum concentration of a combustible substance in the air that can potentially ignite and cause an explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out hot work in an explosive work environment with caution and ensure that the LEL is not exceeded to prevent accidents and ensure safety.

The emergency door should be closed properly to ensure the safety and security of the area. It should always be free from any obstructions and should be visible to allow easy access in case of an emergency. Additionally, the emergency door should not be used for regular entry or exit purposes, as it is specifically designed for emergency situations. Therefore, all of the given options are correct in relation to the emergency door.

The correct sequence of communication in case of a fire is to first shout for a fire call to alert others, then immediately call the emergency contact number to inform the authorities, and finally, if possible, attempt to extinguish the fire. This sequence ensures that the necessary help is contacted promptly while also taking immediate action to control the fire.

The correct answer is "Yearly." The frequency of fire NOC (No Objection Certificate) is required to be obtained every year. This means that individuals or organizations need to renew their fire NOC annually to ensure that their premises comply with fire safety regulations and standards. By obtaining a yearly fire NOC, they can demonstrate that their buildings are safe and adequately equipped to prevent and handle fire emergencies.

The correct answer is "Trash, Flamable Liquid & Electricals." Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood, cloth, and trash. Class B fires involve flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and cooking oil. Class C fires involve electrical equipment and wiring. Therefore, the combination of trash, flammable liquid, and electricals represents examples of class A, B, and C fires.

A Hot Work Permit gives us administrative control to eliminate fire hazards. This means that it allows us to implement measures and procedures to prevent and control the risk of fire during hot work activities. By obtaining a Hot Work Permit, we can ensure that necessary precautions are taken, such as providing fire extinguishers, ensuring proper ventilation, and implementing safe work practices. This administrative control helps to minimize the potential for fire accidents and protect the safety of workers and the workplace.

Dry Chemical Powder fire extinguishers should be avoided when extinguishing a fire in a confined space because the powder can cause respiratory problems and reduce visibility, making it difficult to escape the confined space. Additionally, the powder can also contaminate sensitive equipment or materials present in the confined space. It is important to choose the appropriate type of fire extinguisher for the specific fire and environment to ensure effective and safe extinguishing.

The minimum height of a hydrant post from the floor level is 1.0 meter.

Combustible materials are substances that have the ability to catch fire and burn easily. They are characterized by their flammability and ability to sustain a combustion reaction. Paper is a combustible material because it is made from cellulose fibers, which can ignite and burn when exposed to heat or flame.

The correct answer is "Saturday" because the question asks about the day on which fire fighting training is organized in the plant. Out of the options given, Saturday is the only day mentioned that could be a possible day for the training.

The correct answer is 6.8 kg. This is the pressure set in our Fire Hydrant System.

The correct answer is "All above." This means that the installation of fire protection systems in industries can be referred to through any of the options mentioned, which are NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), NBC (National Building Code), and TAC (Tariff Advisory Committee). These organizations provide guidelines and regulations for the installation and maintenance of fire protection systems in various industries.

When using a fire extinguisher, it is important to stand at a safe distance to avoid any potential harm. Standing at a distance of 8 feet allows the person to have a clear view of the fire and ensures that they are not in the immediate vicinity of the flames. This distance also provides enough space for the extinguishing agent to reach the fire effectively without causing any harm to the user.

There are 3 emergency assembly points in the plant area.
