The choice of extinguishing media is critical based on the type of fire. For LPG fires (a Class B fire), a fine water spray is recommended as it helps to cool down the fire effectively . For electronic fires or Class C fires, CO2 flooding is preferred because it does not leave residues that could damage electronic components .

Lime is made by burning calcium carbonate, which chemically decomposes into free lime and carbon dioxide at 800°C .

Timber does not expand significantly under the influence of heat compared to materials like metal, stone, and brick, making it potentially more advantageous in environments subject to high temperatures due to its increased resistance to thermal expansion .

There are three types of bricks used for building constructions .

Granite expands rapidly and completely shatters at 575°C .

A wet riser is a vertical pipe system always charged with water used in fire safety to ensure a constant supply of water for firefighting. It is fitted with a hydrant landing valve at every floor ensuring accessibility during a fire. Standards specify that when installed in an open area, the inlet valve and nozzle retainer should be at least 700 mm above floor level .

Methanol (CH3OH) is considered a cleaner biofuel compared to traditional LPG (methane, CH4), as its combustion results in lower emissions of harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases. However, the document does not directly address methanol, focusing instead on the availability of methane in the Earth's crust .

A wet pipe system is the most commonly used sprinkler system where pipes are filled with water at all times, suitable for places where temperatures are above freezing. It is important to note that the maximum number of sprinkler heads for one set of controlling valves in a wet pipe system should not exceed 1250, to maintain system efficiency and pressure .

CO2 fire extinguishers are preferred for electronic equipment fires because they leave no residue after use, ensuring no damage is caused to the sensitive electronic components .

Acetylene is preserved in maroon red cylinders . This standardization is important for safety and identification purposes to avoid accidents associated with incorrect handling of flammable gases.
