7. Fire Causes Of Fire The most common causes of fire are: Electrical Pantry Area Smoking

8. Classes Of Fire Let us also understand the classes of fires. Class A These are fires that involve some solid material like, clothers , paper, junk-heap, wood etc. Class B These are fires that involve liquid materials like: petrol, gasoline, diesel, oil etc. Class C These are fires that involve electrical elements Class D These are fires are those involve metals

9. MIGRANT CAMP BLAZE  

10. Explosion An  explosion  is a rapid increase in  volume and release of energy in an extreme manner , usually with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases.   Supersonic explosions created by  high explosives are known as  detonation s and travel via supersonic shock waves.  Subsonic explosions are created by low explosives through a slower burning process known as d eflagratio n.

11. Notable explosions Chemical explosions Nanaimo mine explosion 1887 Halifax Explosion  1917 Battle of Messines 1917 2015 Tianjin explosions 2015 Nuclear testing Trinity test Castle Bravo Tsar Bomba Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Use in war Artillery, mortars, and cannons Gunpowder and smokeless powder as a propellant in firearms and artillery Bombs Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Land mines

12. Turkey is on edge after a number of bomb attacks

13. A chemical threat is fear of a release of poisonous vapors , aerosols, liquids, and solids being dispensed into the air or water ways which would have a toxic effect on people, animals, and/or plants A chemical threat Chemical agent or chemical poisons are primarily used in war, terrorism and riot control. The impacts of chemical accidents can be deadly, for both human being-environments.

14. Nerve Agents Blister or Vesicant Agents Choking Agents Types of Chemical Warfare Agents Depending upon the type of chemical, it can either have an immediate effect (seconds to minutes) or a delayed effect (2-48 hours).

15. Nuclear disaster Nuclear power plants  use the heat generated from nuclear fission in a contained environment to convert water to steam, which powers generators to produce electricity. It is the by-product of this activity that creates the biggest hazard. Accident categories Nuclear meltdown Criticality accidents Decay heat Equipment failure Human error

16. Nuclear Disaster This occurs, it is often as a result of intent and the end results are even more catastrophic with a large percentage of those involved losing their lives .

17. Precautions for man made disasters

18. One should not look at the fire as it causes instant blindness Should close all doors and windows as radioactivity does not penetrate into solid structures Cover all food and water Nuclear Accidents:

19. Chemical Agents Use protective equipment . Give quick and correct self-aid when contaminated . Avoid areas where chemical agents exist. Decontaminate your equipment and body as soon as possible.

20. Fire Accidents The biggest main reason might be poor wiring and faulty electrical equipment, leaking gas or carelessly thrown cigarettes and matches. Wires should be properly covered. Inflammable things should be kept safely . Power points should not be overloaded.
