Let me explain first what is fire. Fire is light and heat that produces flame while burning some materials. It is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical procedure of an explosion that releases heat, light, and different reactions of products. This fire may occur at a lower temperature especially when the place is very hot and all things are very dry. We must take extra care because anytime fire will happen with our negligence.

Here are the things that will produce a fire that can cause much damage to your property.

One of the essential elements of a fire is heat. This cannot be spread unless there is a significant amount involved. That's why some firefighters will respond to a fire, especially with a burned house were applied water and a fire extinguisher right away to the affected area. They will be prevented the fire not to scattered more which can cause more damage. The fire also needs a fuel source to continue burning. The source of fuel can be light materials like wood, paper, fabric, plastic, or another chemical such as paint, thinner, gasoline, and gas. Once this is all present in the fire area, you must prevent this away from the fire because it can cause more damage to our property.
With the presence of oxygen in the fire these might continue to ignite and continue burning. When these happen you must put the fire with sand, or a wet blanket so that the fire will stop.

The candle also can cause a tragic fire especially when you are using it during the night when you are sleeping tight. This is almost the cause of fire in our area where the candle fell into the light materials like fabric or curtain in your window. This might cause a huge fire and can damage a lot of property surrounding you. So you must keep away the candle from flammable material or never use this by the time you are asleep.

Also, some devices used electrical that has a potential for fire. Charging your phone at night is one of the biggest potentials for fire because you are not attended to your phone charged because you are asleep. Never charge your phone when you are sleeping to avoid overheating the outlet. And never overload using your wire outlet for all the appliances you have because once it will spark the wiring can be easily scattered and will cause a fire.

Open flames from stoves are one of the chemical fire aspects. The number cause of fire in the Philippines is cooking. This is the primary cause of the fire because of the carelessness of the people who are cooking. This will always happen when they forgot to off the stoves while leaving the house. Most of us are using Liquified Petroleum Gas or LPG for our cooking. This LPG is composed of propane and butane gas which is usually used for our cooking.

Conclusion
To avoid a victim of this fire, we must be extra careful using flammable chemicals. Never charge our phones and other appliances in an overloaded circuit of wire and always check your electrical wiring in the house. Always unplug all wiring and check the stove when you left the house. When a fire occurs using this chemical it will explode immediately and can cause a big fire.
