5-3 Day: - Chemistry and Classes of Fires - Portable + Fixed Extinguishing systems
Note from Craig: I personally have had to fight only one major (and a few minor) fire's in the entire time I was in the Navy. The two things that totally make you butt shrink (and maybe even stink) up is if they call a Class "D" fire because then are so hard to fight, and, if they call General Quarter which means you are totally screwed, it's a MAJOR fire. These are the words you'll hear over the 1MC (ships announcement speaker) that just makes you fear everything: When you hear over the 1MC "lube oil leak, lube oil leak, we have a lube oil leak in compartment blah, blah blah"....To be shortly followed by "ding, ding ding, ding ,ding, Fire! Fire! Fire!, we have a fire in compartment blah, blah, blah"...Next followed by "General Quarters, General Quarters, This is Not a drill, repeat this is NOT a drill...." Here is how most sailors learn the fire meanings: Saying: - A = Ash - B = Boil - C = Circuit - D = Deadly Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics. Usually leave White Smoke. Class B fires involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil. Usually leaves Black Smoke. Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Never use water to extinguish class C fires - the risk of electrical shock is far too great! Class D fire extinguishers are commonly found in a chemical laboratory. They are for fires that involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium. However, in the galley a Deep Fat Fryers fires would be a fire since you need to use special precautions. Class D fires are special and usually more deadly than the others. D=Death -

Does anyone know who the brother division is for 09/111?

I think it is Division 112. I think that because divisions 109 and 110 are brother divisions so it stands to reason. But I could be wrong as this is just extrapolation on my part.
