Basic Safety Subject

Yesterday (November 13, 2007), Boatswain Gonzales taught us about fire. He first told us about the fire triangle by which fire is created. These are oxygen, heat, fuel. He also mentioned to us that not all types of fire extinguishers can be used in all kinds of fire. There are separate fire extinguishers to be used in killing different types of fires. After our discussion about this topic, now I know what the elements of fire are and if one of these elements is absent, fire stops. And I am now aware that not all the types of fire extinguishers can be used in different kinds of fire.
