Hi dear steemians who are running the activity or are resting.

Continuing my first post about Indonesian firefighter logo!
(https://steemit.com/logo/@marzukie/indonesian-firefighter-in-sketches)

Today I as a member would like to introduce some kind of light fire extinguisher which is easy to use and carried everywhere.

As I mentioned before, that extinguishing the fire can be done in many ways, but this time I will introduce a device capable of extinguishing fire on a small scale with a distance of 3 or 4 meters radius.

These are various types of fire extinguishers and some kind of burning material. Fire Extinguishers can be divided into several types according to the type of burning materials such as:

Type Class A Fire, burning material is Solid Object (Cloth, Wood, Paper)

  • Type of Class B Fire, burning material is Liquid Goods (Oil, Gasoline, Solar)

  • Type Class C Fire, burning material is Gas Object (Elpiji, Tinner)

  • Type Class D Fire, burning material is Metal (Magnesium, Misiu)

  • Type Class E Fire, burning material is Electrikal (Dinamo, Electric Motors)

Tool Fire extinguishers

Distribution of fire extinguishers and their functions.

Fire extinguishers

Fire extinguisher or light extinguisher is a fire extinguisher which is easy to carry and can be operated by one person. equipped with pressure gauge (Pressure Gauge) which serves to show the pressure on the tube.

This can help make it easier for us to control the performance of the fire extinguisher. for its size a light fire extinguisher having a weight of 1-9 kg. especially for fire extinguisher tubes containing carbon dioxide weighs 2-7Kg (standard).

There are three Light Fire Extinguishers such as:
– Foam
– Dry Chemical Powder
– CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)

FOAM light-fire extinguisher

Class Fire A - Solid objects (Fabrics, Wood, Paper)

Class of fire B - liquid (Oil, Gasoline, Solar)

Class of D - metal fire (Magnesium, Misiu)

Light fire extinguishers DRY CHEMICAL POWDER

Class Fire A - Solid objects (Fabrics, Wood, Paper)

Class fire B - Liquid objects (Oil, Gasoline, Solar)

Fire class C - Gas objects (Elpiji, Tinner)

Fire class E-Electrical (Dinamo, Electric Motor)

Light Fire Extinguishers CO2

Class of fire B - liquid (Oil, Gasoline, Solar)

Class fire C - gas objects (Elpiji, Tinner)

Class fire D - metal fire (Magnesium, Misiu)

Class fire E-electrikal (Dinamo, Electric Motor)

Portable Fire Extinguishers

is a fire extinguisher can be easily carried and can be operated by one person only. one example is the fire stop - mini portable fire extinguisher. fire stop fire extinguishers can be used to extinguish a small fire. generally portable fire extinguishers weigh 1-2 kg and can only be used disposable or can not be refilled again.

Thermatic System (System Sprinkler)

or a Thermatic fire extinguisher is an automatic fire extinguisher. for a modular thermatic system installed in the ceiling. Installation and number of modules can be adjusted to the size and needs of the room to be protected. this automatic fire extinguisher will function if there is smoke or the presence of fire that is illuminated and detected by the sensor.

An automatic fire extinguisher installed in one room will work simultaneously because at the sprinkler end for this tool is equipped with an electronic system actuator. this tool has a function as thermatic which means if there is failure of electronic function, it will still work from hot temperature ± 68 ° C.

Trolley

Trolley is a heavy fire extinguisher (APAB) that has wheels. This fire extinguisher has a regulator that serves to regulate the pressure of CO2 / N2 gas.

These fire extinguishers are generally placed in refueling areas. for this fire extinguisher has a weight of 20-80 Kg and should be operated by 2 or more persons. Specifically for fire extinguishers that have carbon dioxide contents having a weight size of 9-45 Kg (Standard).

Hydrant

Hydrant is a fire extinguisher that serves as a water source to extinguish the fire during a fire. generally the hydrant is located in a certain area on the sidewalk.
Hydrant has a standard shape and has a special mark for each hydrant.
