Training Services Rescue Services Welfare Services Depot and Transport Services Salvage Service. Corpse Disposal Service Supply Service Types of emergencies and natural disasters
Define disaster? Ans ‐ Disaster denotes any odd event natural or man made which brings about immense misery to a region and it becomes difficult to cope up with the situation through local resources. There are two types of disasters i.e. Natural and Man made. Ques 2 ‐ What are the natural disasters? Ans (a) Wind Related ‐ Storm, Cyclone, Tornado, Storm surge and Tidal waves. (b) Water Related ‐ Flood, Cloudburst, Flash flood, Excessive rains and Drought. (c) Earth Related ‐ Earthquake, Tsunamis, Avalanches, Landslides and Volcanic eruptions. What are the man made disaters? Ans (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Accidents. Road, Rail, Air, Sea and Building collapse. Industrial Mishaps. Gas Leak, explosion, sabotage and safety breach. Fire. Building, Coal and Oil. Forest Fire. In tropical countries forest fires are often manmade. Contamination/Poisoning. Food, water, illicit‐liquor and epidemics. Terrorists Activities.
(g) Ecological. Pollution (air, water, noise), soil degradation, loss of biodiversity, global warming, sea level rise, toxic wastes and nuclear accidents.
(h) Warfare. Conventional, chemical and nuclear. Describe Earth quack, Tsunami, Draught and Flood. Ans (a) Earthquake. Layers of rock make up the earth’s surface. Rocks do not bend or break easily. Tension caused by movement of Earth’s plates, build up over the years until the rocks can take the strain no longer. Suddenly they crack and shift, sending out shock waves, and reducing anything built on the surface to rubble. This is what we call an earthquake. The shock of the initial earthquake may be followed by a series of aftershocks over the next few days. These fade as the rocks settle down into their new positions. (b) Tsunamis. This giant wave is caused by an undersea earthquake. Vibrations rush through the ocean at hundreds of kilometers an hour. When they reach shallow waters they slow down and build up into vast waves, at times 76m (250 ft) tall. The tsunami crashes onto the shore, sweeping away anything in its way. (c) Drought. If, over about two weeks, there is less than 0.2 mm (1/100in) of precipitation, there is said to be a drought. Without reservoirs, there is not enough water for people and crops. Some places have extreme drought which lasts for many years. Droughts have disastrous and long term impact on the economy and can affect a large segment of the society which may last for months and in some cases several years. Generally, drought situation may be defined as a temporary reduction in water or moisture availability significantly below the normal or expected amount for a specific period. Drought is a slow onset phenomenon.

(d) Flood. It can arise from abnormally heavy precipitation, dam failures, rapid snow melting, river blockages or even burst water mains. It is usually sudden in onset. Types of floods can further be classified into Inland and Coastal floods. Major floods result in physical damage, deaths and injuries, problems in drinking water supply and food shortages and displacement of population. Fire Fighting What are the three elements for fire? Ans ‐ (a) Oxygen. (b) Sufficient heat to raise the temperature of fuel to its burning point or ignition temperature. (c) Combustible or burnable material (Solid, Liquid or Gas). What are the modes of spread of fire? Ans ‐ (a) Conduction. Transfer of heat by the intermediary material. Many materials which will not burn easily particularly metals are good conductors for transmitting heat. These materials when heated by the fire may ignite other combustible material with which these may be in contact. (b) Convection. Transfer of heat through gases or smoke, Gases tend to rise until ceiling or roof is reached after which they spread sideways in a mushroom manner and ignite combustible materials located at higher levels than the original fire e.g. fire spreading onto top floor. The best method to check this is to remove or cool the combustible materials. (c) Radiation. Radiation means transfer of heat from the source of fire, without heating the midway media e.g. air. The effect of radiation can be countered by forming a ‘water curtain’ between the fire and the object to be protected or the object may be removed or cooled. (d) Direct Burning. This phenomenon is self‐explanatory. Direct burning is often due to a combination of the above two or three factors viz, conduction, convection and radiation.

Recoil system :The recoil system is based on the Newton’s third law. When a gun is fired, the pressure in the bore produces equal forces as the gun and projectile. The gun is accelerated back wards acquiring a velocity and consequently an energy. Therefore to prevent a sudden stress on the carriage some sort of cushion is necessary to absorb this energy and to bring the recoiling portions to rest gradually. This function is performed by the RECOIL GEAR. This consists of two parts :- Buffer and Re-separator Necessary of Recoil System :(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Traversing Gear :It is provided for the necessary tune adjustment for direction. This may be ettected by moving the carriage body on the trait called top traverse on the axile called axile traversa. The amount of movement depends a upon the designot trail, with a spilt trail a movement of 25 degree to 30 degree right or left is possible. Elevating Gear :To elevate and depress the gun by elevating gear at any angle for accurate laying and required elevation, the elevating gear is necessary Blanks :(a) Weight of HE Cell : 16.8 Kg (b) Maximum Range of 25 PDR gun : 13400 Yards (c) Depression of 25 PDR Gun : 5 Degree (d) Elevation of 25 PDR Gun : 45 Degree (e) Weight of 25 PDR Gun : 1836 Kg (f) Maximum range of 25 pdr Gun : 13400 yards (g) Weight of 25 Pdr Gun : 1836 Kgs (h) Elevation of 25 Pdr Gun : 45 Degree (i) Depression of 25 Pdr Gun : 5 Degree (j) Weight of HE cell : 16.8Kg (k) Muzzle velocity of charge one of 25 Pdr : 650 Ft Per/Second (l) Rate of fire 25 Pdr Gun : 3 Rounds (m) Length of 25 Pdr Gun : 15 Ft Main Parts of sighting system:(a) Rooking Bar (b) The Independent line To absorb the rear ward thrust during firing. To hold the gun at every angle of elevation. To return the gun to fully run up position To increase the rate of fire To provide stability to the gun.
Main components of Brake system of Maruti Gypsy Engine (a) Master cylinder Assembly (e) Caliper assembly front (j) Wheel disc 5. Diode :A diode is a semi conductor device. It is a single PW junction and has two terminals that is known as anode and cathode. The out standing property of diode is to conduct current in one direction. It is used as a rectifier. Transistor :A transistor consist of two PW junctions formed by sand witching either P type or N type semi-conductor between a pair of opposite type of semi-conductor. There are two types of transistors. (I) PNP (ii) NPN. A PNP Transistor is formed by two P type semi-conductors separated by a thin section of N type semi-conductor . An NPN formed by two N type semi-conductors separated by P type semi-conductor. Capacitor : Capacitor is an electronic component. It has to conducting plates separated by a dielectric material or insulator. It has the capacity to collect and store charge . It allows A/C current to pass through and blocks DC current. Its unit is Farad. (b) Brake fluid (f) Brake shoe (c) Pipe line (g) Wheel Drum (d)wheel cylinder Assembly (rear ) (h) Brake pad
