Fire consists of three basic factors; Flammable Material, Oxygen and Ignition Temperature.
If these three factors occur simultaneously in the same environment, combustion or fire will occur. All fire-related measures are based on isolating these three factors from each other and all fire fighting procedures are based on separating these three factors from each other.
In addition to these three factors for combustion, combustion rate is also an important factor. The factors affecting the combustion rate are pressure, temperature, flammability class and density of the material, wind, and accelerating effects.
The industrial facilities, on the other hand, are the structures having many risks. With the developing technology, there are workflows where these three factors are very likely to be together.
Briefly, the following main causes can be listed as the cause of fire in the industrial buildings;
Potentially risky elements in the nature of the cause of fire and factors that may have combustion and ignition effects due to the above reasons can be listed as follows;
For a total measure, the fire fighting equipment should be installed in accordance with national and international standards, fire fighting trainings should be provided, all kinds of preventive and developmental maintenance should be carried out regularly, cleanliness and order should be given importance, measures should be developed in a way that does not allow human error, and flammable and combustible materials should be maintained under protection.
