Fire Science

The centuries old problem of fire incidents have left fields of destruction in public transportations and places , urban areas residential places , and natural habitats , however it does not necessarily mean that it cannot be prevented . The causes of fire and its possible effects on people and properties may be hindered given the proper precautions and preventive measures . An emphasis on determining fire hazards was the vital element in devising full-proof fire emergency procedures and counter measures

The company 's electrical connection and wiring is a primary area of

concern , this is because faulty electrical connections is the most probable cause of fire related incidents within a work environment (Best Practices Guide , 2004 . Faulty electrical connections may lead to short circuits that may also start a chain reaction and a subsequent fire outbreak . Likewise , proper maintenance of electronic devices such as computers is another point of consideration in fire prevention (Best Practices Guide , 2004 . Much of this can be attributed to the fact that electronic devices have the tendencies to start uncontrollable fire if not properly taken care of (Best Practices Guide , 2004

The emphasis on electrical wiring and proper maintenance of electronic devices is because there are no other common forms of fire hazards within the work environment . Fires caused by electrical explosions can be put out by fire extinguishers before it spreads out (Best Practices Guide , 2004 ) Moreover , explosions caused by faulty electrical wirings and electronic malfunctions will not disrupt the water supply because considering its conducive properties , water may cause the fire to spread

Fire and its destructive nature causes a substantial amount of damage but there are ways and means to prevent it from starting and spreading However , fire hazard awareness and ability to initially determine preventive measures are key elements in devising safety procedures Moreover , the aforementioned awareness also aids individuals ton how to properly react in cases of fire
