How to put out a fire

If the fire starts from solid material like bamboo, wood or something like that, the fire can be brought under control with sufficient amount of water. And if the fire starts from oil, mobil, petrol or other liquids, you should try to control the fire by spreading soap foam, wet blankets, sacks, kantha or heavy cloth. Such fires cannot be brought under control with water, but if water is given, there is a high risk of reversal. If nothing is found, the fire caused by the liquid can be subdued by sprinkling dry sand.

In case of fire from any type of gas, the gas supply line should be shut off or the knob of the riser should be turned. In case of fire from the gas cylinder, wet kantha, blankets, sacks or heavy cloths should be wrapped around the cylinder and the supply of gas should be stopped by pressing or turning the knob or by splashing water. Always keep in mind that if it is understood that the gas is leaking, then in no way can anything be taken near that place to light matches like matches, cigarettes, burning candles, cups.

Fires that originate from metals or sodium, potassium, etc. are the most intense. Explosions can occur when applied directly to water. Therefore, it can be brought under control by spraying directly on such fire with the help of fire extinguisher.

Water cannot be supplied in any way if fire starts from electrical medium. Because water is a conductor of electricity, anyone can easily get electrocuted and die. So first you have to try to turn off the main switch of the electrical line. However, in case of fire in the main switch, the nearest electricity office should be contacted as soon as possible. So that the power supply of the line is switched off quickly. Fire can be brought under control by spreading water from a safe distance when the line is closed, but it is best if carbon dioxide is spread with the help of a fire extinguisher or fire extinguisher. This will make it possible to control the fire easily.
