Dangers of a Fire

Fires can quickly develop into large fires which can reach high temperatures that can easily melt most sensitive electronic devices such as computers and other screens. This means if a property which houses computers and other sensitive electronic devices is caught on fire, there is a large amount of chance that these sensitive electronic devices will not survive the high temperature is that result from the fire. In addition to this, fire can also reduce the structural integrity of the building itself as it can damage the steel used in reinforced concrete buildings and, can even reduce the strength of all steel buildings as well. This means that because of low structural integrity and low strength of the building materials, the building will be at high risk of collapse as the materials will not have the necessary strength to withstand the loads that are put on them.

Fire can also have a very lethal knock on impact as it can lead to the generation of carbon monoxide which is extremely toxic to humans and can result in a fatality at even very low concentrations. This gas is generated through the burning of equipment and other materials and it can lead to the people inside the building getting suffocated, which means that the people inside the building may die even if they did not have contact with the fire.
