The physical foundations of fires

fires are the result of a chemical reaction that takes place under specific conditions. According to BS-Chantico , three factors must be given at the same time: fuels, oxygen, and a source of ignition. Fuels can be solid materials such as papers or plastics, but also liquids and gases. The inflammation of a material depends on its density and composition. Technical defects or sources of ignition, even everyday devices such as cooktops or kettle, can do green contributions to fires.

The cause of the fire is crucial to identify the reasons for fires. These range from human carelessness to technical defects to natural causes. A fire is always an uncontrolled combustion process that not only damage property damage, but also risks for people and the environment, according to the analysis of Brandschutz-wiki . High temperatures that are reached in the event of a fire can be over 1000 ° C, which brings with the risk of toxic smoke and breathing toxins. After a fire, not only primary damage is remained, but also smoke and environmental damage that makes it considerably more difficult to restore the affected areas.
