Ka Boom


Today was spent continuing working through the workbooks in the morning and then after lunch we were treated to a really informative and interesting presentation from a bloke from Bell Fire.

Jim Ponsonby (bell fire) was obviously really enthusiastic about what he does which of course makes it much more interesting for those listening. He covered the different types of fire extinguishers and for which fires they should be used and explained the rating systems on each one of them. These ratings indicate how effective they are for certain types of fire. The type that stood out above the rest was the D.C.P. (Dry Chemical powder) as it is effective in extinguishing A. B. C. and (e) type fires or Ordinary Combustibles, Flammable liquids, Gas and Electric fires. The presentation also included a demonstration.
