Cherry, dull: 800 °C (1470 °F)
Cherry, full: 900 °C (1650 °F)
Cherry, clear: 1000 °C (1830 °F)
Orange
Deep: 1100 °C (2010 °F)
Clear: 1200 °C (2190 °F)
White
Whitish: 1300 °C (2370 °F)
Bright: 1400 °C (2550 °F)
Dazzling: 1500 °C (2730 °F)
Typical Fire Temperatures:
1: Oxyhydrogen flame: 2000 °C or above (3645 °F)
2: Bunsen burner flame: 1300 to 1600 °C (2372 to 2912 °F)
3: Blowtorch flame: 1,300 °C (2372 °F)
4: Candle flame: 1000 °C (1832 °F)
Classes of Fires
A - Ordinary combustibles
B - Flammable liquids and gases
C - Energized electrical equipment
D - Combustible metals
K - Cooking oils
Type 'A'
These fires are started when easily ignitable materials have reached their igniting temperature. These materials can be cloth, boxes, paper, plastics and trash.
Type 'B'
Type 'B' fires usually involve liquids that are highly flammable and spread easily. These fires are also started by gas, paint, petrol viscous yet highly flammable too. This fire type may also be started with gases that are easily ignited by heat, such as propane and butane.
Type 'C'
This type of fire is started within an appliance, electric equipment, appliance motors and transformers. A type 'C' fire can easily be put out by cutting its power source which abruptly changes its type of fire.
Type 'D'
A type 'D' fire source is combustible metals such as calcium, lithium, magnesium and its alloys, phosphorus and titanium among the more known chemical elements. These chemicals when heated and oxidation present causes sparks that may turn into fast spreading flames.

Each family should own at least one Extinguisher. It is important to know that there are different fire extinguishers for different types of fires.
Most people use a dry powder extinguisher that treats classes A, B, and C. They are all compatible but at the fire hazard becomes more dangerous they equipment used should be approved.

Some types of Fire Alarms and Detectors
First, there are ionization smoke alarms. These tend to respond more quickly to a fast fire that moves very quickly.
Second, Photoelectric alarms are particularly sensitive to slow fires, such as smoldering and smoky flames.
Third, Carbon Monoxide Detectors that pick up traces of carbon monoxide in the air, which standard alarms cannot detect. A Carbon Monoxide detector has been in the market for the past 17 years and is proven to detect this silent killer.
Finally, there is what we call a dual sensor smoke alarm, which combines both ionization and photoelectric alarms into one all-purpose device.
There are also some smoke alarms are also made with the hearing-impaired in mind. These smoke alarms may vibrate or have flashing strobe lights in order to properly notify people of an emergency.

Fire Blankets -
Fire blankets are made from inflammable glass fibre fabric. To extinguish a fire, cover it totally with the fire blanket to smother it and put it out. Always discard a fire blanket that has been used or is broken and get a new one to replace it.
First Aids Kits -
A collection of supplies and equipment for use in giving first aid, particularly in a medical emergency. Most first-aid kits contain bandages for controlling bleeding, personal protective equipment such as gloves and a breathing barrier for performing rescue breathing and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and sometimes instructions on how to perform first aid.
Fire Safety Signs -
not mandatory for home use - For commercial or public places these are required to guide people effectively to safety.
Fire Sand Bucket -
They are often kept next to ovens, barbecues, and other area where fires can occur. A normal bucket filled with sand which is used to put out fires. In order to extinguish the fire, the sand in the bucket is dumped on the fire to starve it of the oxygen it needs to stay alive.

I' give priority to Safety as i work in a shipyard.... Safety is first
Our server room has a smoke detector, and FM-200 gas which is emitted on detection of a fire.... and fire extinguishers everywhere

First Aid for Burns Caused by Fire
If a person has been burned badly by fire, fast action on your part is very important. Have someone call 911. Meanwhile, you must act to begin the cooling process, prevent shock, prevent contamination and control pain.
DO Wet, cover and cool the burn: Gently poor water over the burns. Place the cleanest available cloth material over all burned areas such as sterile gauze, clean sheets or a t-shirt and gently poor water over, keeping the material wet. Ensure that the cooling process does not become excessive and cause shivering.
DO Remove smoldering clothing only if it is NOT stuck to the skin.
DO Carefully remove clothing or jewelry that may constrict during swelling.
DO Have the victim lie down. Make certain his head and chest are a little lower than the rest of his body. Raise his legs if possible.
DO Get immediate medical help. Call 911
DO NOT Put ice, burn ointments, butter or grease or anything else besides water on a burn.
DO NOT Remove clothing that is stuck to a burn.
DO NOT Break blisters.

THANK YOU FOR COMMENT BROTHER
රතු සහ කලු ෆයර් එක්ස්ටින්ගුඉශෙර් වර්ග දෙක අපිට නිතරම දකින්නට ලැබෙනවා.

Make sure all family members know what to do in the event of a fire. Draw a floor plan with at least two ways of escaping every room. Make a drawing for each floor. Dimensions do not need to be correct. Make sure the plan shows important details: stairs, hallways and windows that can be used as fire escape routes.
Test windows and doors—do they open easy enough? Are they wide enough. Or tall enough?
Choose a safe meeting place outside the house.
Practice alerting other members. It is a good idea to keep a bell and flashlight in each bedroom.
Conduct a family meeting and discuss the following topics:
Always sleep with the bedroom doors closed. This will keep deadly heat and smoke out of bedrooms, giving you additional time to escape.
Find a way for everyone to sound a family alarm. Yelling, pounding on walls, whistles, etc. Practice yelling "FIRE!"
In a fire, time is critical. Don't waste time getting dressed, don't search for pets or valuables. Just get out!
Roll out of bed. Stay low. One breath of smoke or gases may be enough to kill.

Practice evacuating the building blindfolded. In a real fire situation, the amount of smoke generated by a fire most likely will make it difficult to see.
Practice staying low to the ground when escaping.
Feel all doors before opening them. If a door is hot, get out another way.
Learn to stop, drop to the ground, roll if clothes catch fire.
Install smoke detectors
Check smoke detectors once a month and change the batteries at least once a year. Smoke detectors sense abnormal amounts of smoke or invisible combustion gases in the air. They can detect both smoldering and burning fires. At least one smoke detector should be installed on every level of a structure. Purchase smoke detectors labeled by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM).
Post emergency numbers near telephones.
Be aware that if a fire threatens your home, you should not place the call to emergency services from inside the home. It is better to get out and place the call to fire authorities from a safe location outside the home.
After a fire emergency
Give first aid where appropriate. Seriously injured victims should be transported to professional medical help immediately. Stay out of the damaged building. Return only when fire authorities say it is safe.
Make sure you have a safe fire escape method for all situations
You may have installed a very expensive home security system. But if you cannot escape the burning structure you have a false level of confidence.
Space Heaters Need Space
Keep portable and space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that may burn. Never leave heaters on when you leave home or go to sleep. Children and pets should always be kept away from them.
Smokers Need To Be Extra Careful
Never smoke in bed or when you are sleepy. Carelessly discarded cigarettes are a leading cause of fire deaths in the United States.
Be Careful Cooking
Keep cooking areas clear of combustibles and wear short or tight-fitting sleeves when you cook. Keep the handles of your pots turned inward so they do not over-hang the stove. If grease catches fire, carefully slide a lid over the pan and smother the flames, then turn off the burner.
Matches and Lighters are Dangerous
In the hands of a child, matches and lighters can be deadly! Store them where kids can't reach them, preferably in a locked area. Teach children that matches and lighters are "tools" and should only be used by adults.
Use Electricity Safely
If an appliance smokes or has an unusual smell, unplug it immediately and have it repaired. Replace frayed or cracked electrical cords and don't overload extension cords. They should not be run under rugs. Never tamper with the fuse box or use the improper size fuse.
Cool a Burn
If someone gets burned, immediately place the wound under cool water for 10 to 15 minutes. If the burn blisters or chars, see a doctor immediately!
Be Careful of Halogen Lights
If you have halogen lights, make sure they are away from flammable drapes and low ceiling areas. Never leave them on when you leave your home or office.
