Fire is a hazardous subject that can course losses in an institution. There are very many ways to prevent it from spreading (Kolesar, P., Walker, W. E. 1974, p. 274). A firefighter is trained personnel mainly trained in extinguishing the fire.

To prevent the fire from spreading there are specific locations of a building must remain closed hens when the fire is up accidentally they are kept closed to keep the fire and not allowing it not to spread for some time. This will help people evacuate the building peacefully and firefighters will extinguish the fire. The firefighters will inform the occupants to keep the door closed to contain a certain amount to prevent it from spreading rapidly. The firefighters should know and be aware of where to drill a hole in a wall through a building for piping and wiring through the building this can prevent the fire from going through the cracks. Moreover, the extinguishers should focus on the source of the fire to prevent it from becoming bigger and bigger.

Some measures can be taken in fire prevention. The following should be done in an institution, put fire alarms in all building exits to help notify of the current situation. When smoky particles are witnessed in the air, get down to the ground to prevent inhaling the exposure and crawl to the nearest exit (Bajaj, V. 2012). Exterior lighting systems should be activated for security and safety. Any bush shrubby and trees trimmed or cut off and the area kept clean. The windows should be transparent for proper visibility in case of any signal evident, proper ventilation for free and proper air circulation of air. Trash receptacles should be kept away from the buildings to help reduce the risk of fire. Any flammable tank or source should be kept away from the building to avoid accidents of blasts of fire.

Never assume any fire alarm. Treat a fire alarm as an emergency if the sound of a fire alarm exit the building immediately. When a neighbor gives an alarm call the authorities for assistance. If you take yourself you may never come back.

The defensive mode is the state of stabilizing the state of fire at hand to avoid the fire incident getting any worse it may lead one to save lives than saving the valuables in the building (McChesney, F. S. 1986, p. 69). In most cases, its employed up when its a situation where firefighters cannot enter the building. When considering this mode the following factors should be considered the state of the building, who are the occupants, is if for residential or business, the cracked walls.

Offensive mode involves taking a direct and straight to solve the problem. It practically involves all effort available for the interior attack since there might be some lives in the building and they may still be alive. More human lives are saved by swiftly putting off the fire. When giving an offensive mode the following considerations should be put in place. A well-coordinated and communication in a chain of people in the helping hand, the company officers who are qualified shout give directives on what to do and how the activities should flow (Kolesar, P., Walker, W. E. 1974, p. 249). The second line of people in the chain should be well-coordinated as a backup line and of the same size or larger than the first one. When tackling the fire it should be approached from the place its in larger quantities. Remember to get your water supply to avoid unexpected finish up of the reserved water. Check on the hidden sources of fire and put them off before it spreads more and more and become a massive attack of fire.
