Égéstípusok

Égéstípusok refer to types of fires, classified based on their characteristics and behavior. The most common egéskategoria (categories) of fires include:

A hatástani (classes) of fires are classified based on the materials that are burning. Class A fires involve combustion of ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cloth, and trash. Class B fires involve flammable liquids or gases, such as gasoline, oil, paint, and propane. Class C fires involve electrical equipment such as appliances, wiring, and circuit breakers. Class D fires involve combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, and sodium. Class F fires involve cooking oils and greases.

A baleseti (kategorija) of fires are classified based on the way the fire behaves. These include internal fires, surface fires, and ground fires. Internal fires burn inside a containment, such as a building, while surface fires burn across the surface of a flammable area. Ground fires burn on or below the surface of the ground, such as in peat bogs or coal seams.

In addition to these categories, there are also radioaktív (radiation) fires, which occur when radioactive materials ignite. These fires are highly specialized and require unique extinguishing methods.

Understanding the egéskategoria of a fire is essential for effective fire control and extinguishing. Different types of fires require different extinguishing agents and methods, and using the wrong extinguishing technique can make the situation worse.

Firefighting techniques and equipment must be tailored to the specific egéskategoria of the fire, which means that different fire departments and personnel may use different techniques depending on the nature of the fires they encounter.
