    Assignment 01
    Fire systems

    01.Explain the fire classification according to the CIDA and NFPA


    Based on fires involving materials, there are fire classes A, B, C, D, and F.Fires based on natural organic
    solid materials such as wood, paper, or textiles are classified as class a fires. Fires containing combustible
    liquids such as gasoline, fuel, or lubricants are classified as Class B.Class C flames are those involving
    combustible gases like hydrogen, propane, and methane, whereas class D fires are those involving metals.
    The final categorization is class F, which refers to flames using cooking oils, such as those seen in deep-
    fat fryers. Fire classes A, B, C, D, and K are used by the National Fire Protection Association to classify
    fires. This classification is distinct from that of the CIDA.In this class A fire is the fire involved with
    ordinary combustible materials, such as cloth, wood, paper, rubber, and many plastics and this fire class
    can prevent by using water. Class B fires are defined as fires that are caused by flammable and
    combustible liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, oil-based paints, and lacquers, as well as dry chemicals and
    carbon dioxide. Class C fires are those that include electrified electrical equipment and, like the B classes
    of fires, can be put out with the use of carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguishers. Class D fires in
    kitchen equipment are caused by flammable metals including magnesium, titanium, and sodium, while
    class K fires are caused by vegetable oils, animal oils, or fats.

    02.Explain the hazard classification according to the CIDA.


    There are three categories of fire danger classes in fire regulations. There are three levels of danger: low,
    medium, and high. Low-hazard areas are described as areas with a modest amount of combustible items
    and flammable liquids. If we suppose that a building is on fire, the damages are likely to be minimal due
    to the lack of combustible and flammable materials on the grounds. Offices and schools are two examples
    of such locations. Places with more combustible items and flammable liquids are more likely to have a
    medium fire danger than places with a low fire hazard. If this location's uses include a normal or moderate
    amount of combustible and flammable items, it may provide a medium fire risk. Shops, display rooms,
    garages, and small manufacturing spaces are all examples of places with a medium fire danger risk.
    According to the CIDA, places with a lot of combustible items and flammable liquids are more likely to
    catch fire than the places listed above. There may be a large amount of flammable items at these locations
    for their use or storage, as well as if there is a fire. According to the CIDA, places with a lot of combustible
    items and flammable liquids are more likely to catch fire than the places listed above. There may be a
    large amount of flammable items in these locations for their usage or storage, therefore it may be more
    difficult to put out a fire on those grounds. Because of the large amount of flammable items present, the
    fire can readily spread. Textiles, liquor stores, fireworks warehouses, and other locations with a high
    concentration of flammable materials are examples of such locations.

    03.What is the purpose of a fire suppression system?


    Fire suppression systems are used to keep a fire from spreading and causing property damage. More
    importantly, a fire suppression system can avoid fire-related injuries and allow you to leave the premises
    at certain times.

    04.According to your point of view, explain the "Passive fire protection system
    Normally, passive fire protection is turned on manually or automatically. These systems are built into the
    structure to safeguard people's lives, protect property from fire, and limit the expense and damage caused
    by fire. Installing protective barriers, limiting fuel sources, and maintaining less dangerous processes are
    the key duties of passive fire defense. Uses of passive fire system

     Protecting the building structure thereby ensuring its sustainability


     Limiting the spread of fire and smoke by containing it in a single compartment
     Protecting a building’s critical structural members
     Protecting escape routes for essential means of escape
