Causes of Fire
- Live flames
- Causes of sparks
- Hot objects
- Chemicals that are potential for ignition
- Potential threats to fire prevention practices
- Firefighting
- Built-in fire safety systems
- Situations that restrict the escape of people from an affected building or area
Fire Hazards
- Include all types of potential threats to fire prevention practices
- Pose threats to life and property
