Approach to causes of fire and remedies

Fire is one of the most serious hazards, causing great damage to property and human life. Understanding the causes of fire and preventive measures is essential to ensure safety. This article will help you discover the main causes of fire and effective measures to overcome them such as fire doors, which play an important role in preventing and limiting the spread of fire.

Common causes of fire

Main causes of fire

Overloaded electrical system

One of the common causes of fire is overloaded electrical system. When using many electrical devices at the same time, especially those that consume a lot of electricity, the wiring system can get hot, causing short circuits and sparks, leading to fire and explosion.

Incident from electronic devices

Many electronic devices such as televisions, computers, refrigerators can be damaged or have technical problems, leading to fire. These devices are often placed near flammable objects such as curtains, papers or furniture, causing the risk of fire spreading quickly.

Unsafe use of gas stoves

Improper use of gas stoves or electric stoves, such as leaving the fire unattended or forgetting to turn off the stove after use, can cause fire and explosion. In particular, gas leaks in the house that are not detected in time are one of the causes of large fires.

Cigarette Fires

Cigarette butts that are not completely extinguished and are thrown carelessly onto flammable materials such as cloth, wood, or paper can cause fires. This is especially dangerous in enclosed spaces or areas with a lot of flammable objects.

Natural Causes

Natural causes of fire such as lightning, prolonged drought, and spontaneous heating of the ground can also cause fires, especially in forested areas where dry vegetation can easily ignite.

Remedies and Prevention

Use of Fire Doors

Installing fire doors is an important measure to prevent fire from spreading to other areas when a fire occurs. Fire doors are specially designed to withstand heat and smoke for a certain period of time, helping to prolong the time for people to evacuate and limit property damage. Doors such as fire-resistant rolling doors, fire-resistant steel doors, and fire-resistant wooden doors are all manufactured according to strict standards, ensuring fire resistance.

Use of fire-resistant materials in construction

Using fire-resistant materials such as fire-resistant panels, insulation panels, and fire-resistant solutions in the construction of residential and industrial buildings can minimize the risk of fire and limit the spread of fire. These materials not only help protect the structure of the building but also ensure the safety of residents and workers.

Install an automatic fire alarm system

An automatic fire alarm system is an effective tool for early detection and control of fires. Heat and smoke sensors will promptly detect abnormal signs and activate the alarm, helping residents to quickly escape. This system can also be connected to an automatic sprinkler system to extinguish the fire before it spreads.

Regular maintenance of electrical equipment

To reduce the risk of fire and explosion caused by electrical equipment, it is necessary to periodically check and maintain the electrical system. Replacing old equipment, damaged electrical wires or using certified safety equipment is a necessary measure to prevent fires from electrical failures.

Strengthening fire prevention and fighting control

Training and raising awareness of fire prevention for employees and residents is one of the important factors in preventing and responding to fires. Training sessions help people understand how to use fire fighting equipment such as fire extinguishers, how to escape safely and the process of handling fires.

The role of fire doors in fire prevention solutions

Ensuring safety in apartments

Apartment fire protection solutions

In apartment buildings, the installation of fireproof doors is mandatory according to fire safety regulations. Fireproof doors help protect people from toxic smoke and fire, creating valuable time to escape from the building in case of an incident.

Preventing fire from spreading in industrial buildings

In industrial buildings such as factories and workshops, fireproof shutters and fireproof shutters are used to prevent fire from spreading from one area to another, protecting the safety of employees and equipment.

Improving efficiency in fire prevention

In addition to traditional doors, new solutions such as fireproof rolling doors are also highly appreciated for their efficiency and space saving, especially in warehouses or large spaces. Rolling doors can automatically close when a fire is detected, helping to quickly stop the fire.

The importance of steel structure fireproof standards

Fireproofing of air ducts

In high-rise buildings and large structures, the duct system plays an important role in ventilation and air conditioning. However, if not covered with fireproofing, this system can become a path for fire to spread quickly in the building. Using fireproof panels or fireproofing solutions to cover the duct helps protect the system and prevent fire from spreading.

Protection of steel structures

Fireproofing standards for steel structures are an important factor in modern constructions, especially high-rise buildings. When a fire occurs, the steel structure can lose its strength due to high temperatures, leading to building collapse. Therefore, fireproofing solutions for steel structures such as using fireshieldpro khs.fa fireproof panels and fireshieldpro khs.mps48 insulation panels play an important role in protecting the structure and enhancing the safety of the building.
