Cost of fires

Fires cost thousands of lives every year. And billions of dollars. For businesses, a major fire can lead to bankruptcy. If a historic building, unique data or family photos go up in smoke, even money cannot replace the loss. Neither can a fire insurance replace lost customers.

Fires also always means pollution. Smoke, debris and the water used to quench the fire is often full of toxins.


Fire means pollution

Emissions from fires have a serious impact on the environment. Not only are the combustion gases toxic at the site of the fire, but during a fire, very large quantities of particulates are also released into the environment. The particles consist among others of soot, tar, unburned materials, and inorganic debris. Inadequate fire safety can also allow a small initial fire to develop into an environmental disaster.


Following are various articles of fires incidences and related reports.
