Whats Reasons:

@ Office Buildings

The?NFPA?states that over 3,300 fires break out in office properties across the US each year. As with other industries, cooking equipment is the leading cause of fire in office buildings, causing nearly 1,000 blazes per year, or 29 percent of the annual total in this industry.

Other common causes of fire in office buildings include:

• Electrical and lighting equipment (12 percent)
• Heating equipment (11 percent)
• Arson (10 percent)
• Smoking materials (9 percent)
• Exposure (4 percent)
• Electronic, office, and entertainment equipment (3 percent)

Commercial Kitchens

According to the?National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), about 7,400 fires break out in eating and drinking establishments each year in the US. The commercial kitchen is the most likely place for these fires to start.

Cooking equipment—including deep fryers, ranges, ovens, grills, barbecues, rotisseries, portable warming equipment, and grease hoods—cause 61 percent of all restaurant blazes, or about 4,500 fires per year. This isn’t too surprising, given the prevalence of cooking fires.

Other leading causes of fire in the restaurant industry include:

• Electrical and lighting equipment (9 percent)
• Heating equipment (9 percent)
• Smoking materials (7 percent)
• Arson (4 percent)

Electrical equipment and lighting are the leading cause of structure fires

It’s difficult to learn what the main causes of structural fires are in Australia due to incomplete data.

Fire management is still working on maintaining records and managing it for better analysis.

Electrical fires are one of the top five causes of fires in manufacturing plants. Here a non-exhaustive list of specific electrical hazards:

·???????Wiring that is exposed or not up to code

·???????Overloaded outlets

·???????Extension cords

·???????Overloaded circuits

·???????Static discharge

The damage caused by these fires can quickly compound thanks to several of the other items on this list. Any of the above hazards can cause a spark, which can serve as an ignition source for combustible dust, as well as flammable liquids and gasses.?

How to prevent electrical fire incidents

As with the previous risks, the key to preventing electrical fires is awareness and prevention. This involves training, maintenance, and following best practices. Here are a few to put into practice right now:

·???????Don’t overload electrical equipment or circuits.

·???????Don’t leave temporary equipment plugged in when it’s not in use.

·???????Avoid using extension cords, and never consider them permanent solutions.

·???????Use antistatic equipment where required by NFPA or OSHA.

·???????Follow a regular housekeeping plan to remove combustible dust and other hazardous materials from areas that contain equipment and machinery.

·???????Implement a reporting system so that anyone who observes an electrical fire risk can report it without consequences.

Most Common Causes of Factory Fires

While every home and workplace will always contain a fire risk, there are certain environments that are more susceptible to fires, especially those that use flammable materials to work with, for example.

?1.????Heavy Machinery

2.????Kitchens/Break Rooms

3.????Stock

4.????Poor Fire Training

5.????Electrical Faults

6.????Combustible dust

7.????Hot work

8.????Flammable liquids and gasses

9.????Electrical hazards
