Currently, the fire and explosion situation is extremely complicated; there are many fires causing serious damage to both people and property. From offices, factories, enterprises to high-rise apartments or even in your own home, there is always the potential risk of fire and explosion.
Causes of fire and explosion
Cause 1: Accumulation of flammable substances
Many families store flammable substances in their homes such as gasoline, gas cylinders of all kinds or kerosene… although not much, but almost do not have measures to ensure fire safety. Even gas dealers or retailers… are often subjective when storing these materials in their homes. In the air, there are always flammable compounds that leak out or escape from these “time bombs” if someone is smoking or cooking with an open fire nearby, causing immediate fire and explosion. These fires may initially be very small, seemingly not at all worrisome, but can spread very quickly due to the impact of the surrounding environment.
Cause 2: Fire when charging electronic devices
Mobile phones and electronic devices are extremely popular items in this era, however, users are subjective and pay little attention to whether the equipment that comes with the device is safe. Using poor quality chargers will always come with a very high risk of electrical fires. Especially for smartphones with extremely complex configuration and microcircuit systems, the power source leading to the device only needs to be slightly unstable to cause the device to explode. A typical example is that there have been many explosions from charging electronic devices.
Reason 3: Worship is not safe
Ancestor worship is an essential spiritual activity of every family in Vietnam. However, burning incense on the altar but not paying attention to it because you think that even if the incense ash falls out, it cannot cause a fire, is the main cause of “house fires” in many cases.
Cause 4: Fire while cooking
Using a gas stove while cooking has a very high risk of causing a fire, especially when using gas and the cook does not pay attention to turning off the gas cylinder valve after cooking, leading to a gas leak, which also makes the risk of fire and explosion extremely high. Therefore, households should use infrared stoves or induction cookers instead of gas stoves for cooking.
Cause 5: Fire due to short circuit in lighting equipment
Few people expect that installing lighting equipment too close to the ceiling and walls is also the main cause of fire. The main reason is that the lamp not only heats directly but the heat source can also be generated from the heat radiation of the lighting equipment. Most of the lighting equipment on the market is fluorescent, halogen lamps with ballasts, transformers, so when you install them close to the ceiling and walls made of flammable materials, it is extremely dangerous.
Cause 6: Motorcycle gas tank fire
Recently, the situation of motorbike fires and explosions has been extremely complicated. The main cause of motorbike fires is still unclear, but leaving motorbikes right in the house also causes many dangers of fire and explosion in many households.
Cause 7: Fire due to electrical short circuit
The main causes of electrical fires include unplanned plugging in and connecting additional electrical appliances, which can overload the electrical wiring and cause short circuits. Old electrical appliances that are not regularly inspected can also cause short circuits. If not detected in time, small fires caused by electrical short circuits can spread to other flammable objects in the house and quickly become more dangerous than ever.
Conclusion.
