Effects of Toxic Gases and Smoke In the confined space of an A/C, toxic
fumes and
gases will collect in a short space of time
and
dispatch the breathable air. The physical
effects of
smoke on individuals would be:
Eyes watering
Choking
Asphyxiation
All of the above will lead to PANIC.
Where smoke in the cabin makes it difficult
to
breathe instruct passengers to lean over
keeping
their heads low and breathe through a
jumper,
headrest cover, handkerchief, etc. If
possible,
distribute wet hand towels.
,Chemistry of Fire Fire is a chemical reaction involving three
elements,
Oxygen, Heat and Fuel. When these three
elements
meet in the right proportion, a fire will
ignite.
Removing or limiting 1 of the 3 elements
will put the
fire out.
Classes of Fire Fires are divided into categories of the fuel
that is
burning. There are 5 classes of fire:
A - SOLID MATERIALS
B - FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
C - FLAMMABLE GASES
D - COMBUSTIBLE METALS
E - LIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
, Flashover Flash-over is a term used to describe a
sudden
transfer of heat from a local fire to a more
wide
spread fire involving a much greater area.
If there is a small fire in the AC which has
access to
excess oxygen & fuel (cabin furnishings)
and CC do
not act promptly then there is a risk of
flash-over
occurring. The fire will begin to grow as it
eats the
excess fuel (cabin furnishings) & oxygen,
as this
happens the fire will release hot
combustible gases
which will rise to the ceiling. The
temperature in the
cabin will also be increasing and there will
be a
point when the gases & the furnishings (or
both)
spontaneously ignite (catch fire), this will
spread
from a local fire to a fire involving the entire
cabin.
In this situation the cabin is NON-
SURVIVALBE!
Sources of Fire These include cigarettes, matches, leaking
cigarette lighters, electrical faults, ovens,
any other
combustible material in the cabin including
passenger bags, newspapers etc.
