Fire Hazards
Although most people understand the devastating effects that fires and explosions can have in residential and public areas, many do not understand how their actions can help prevent fires and other accidents from occurring. It is important to practice safety at home, in the workplace, and in public, and understand the dangers of fire hazards in each place.
In the event of an explosion or fire, persons who live, work , or are in the area may suffer serious burns, projectile injuries, and other wounds. Fires may not only cause burn injuries to those exposed to the flames, but can also help ignite unstable or flammable compounds and create disastrous explosions.
