Fire and Explosion

Fire and explosion refer to hazardous events that can occur due to the rapid release of energy. Fire occurs when a material combusts in the presence of oxygen, producing heat and light. Explosions happen when a substance rapidly releases gases, heat, and energy, often leading to destructive shockwaves. Both events are significant safety concerns in industries such as chemical engineering, oil and gas, and manufacturing. Proper precautions, such as flame arrestors, safety protocols, and explosion-proof equipment, are essential to prevent these hazards and protect workers and the environment.
