Discipline standards are high to ensure that those who qualify will respond to instructions in emergency situations with readiness and without questions. 2.

He acquires certain skills and practical qualifications, including pump operations, driving, special appliance operation, breathing apparatus and first aid appliances drill. 4. A fireman spends part of every normal working day on training: participating in practical drill involving ladders and hose, practicing skills with equipment and listening to lectures. He is assessed by personal interview for the necessary characteristics of honesty, reliability, courage and initiative. Text 2 The Combustion Process The phenomenon known as fire or combustion can be defined as a rapidly occurring chemical reaction in which an element (oxygen) combines readily with a substance (fuel) to produce light in the form of visible flames and heat. 28 Conventionally, the combustion process can be illustrated with what we call the fire triangle. There are three components to this triangle: fuel, heat and oxygen. If the heat applied to a substance is of sufficient intensity and duration, the substance will begin to go from one state to another: it begins to undergo the chemical reaction. Heat sources can range from an electric spark to an open flame. Heat can also be created by chemical reaction between some substances or by mechanical friction.
