Fire: Fast Facts
Before knowing how to prevent fire, one should know “What is Fire.?”
- Fire Is Hot:- As everyone already knows that fire is hot but it can produce a lot of fire than one can imagine and this heat is more dangerous than the flames itself. The temperature of any room where there is fire can reach up to 100 degrees in few seconds and then can reach to 600 degrees in few more seconds and this heat can melt your clothes and even your skin. So imagine being caught in such heat.
- Fire Is Dark:- Flames may seem to be of an orange color but the fire will end up into darkness. And the smoke that comes out will also create darkness all around the place.
- Fire Is Fast:- Never underestimate fire, even a small fire can burn a whole house in just 30 seconds, so when there is fire one should always react very fast. Not only the fire but the smoke generated through it can fill the whole place in few seconds too.
- Fire Is Deadly:- Fire is very dangerous, the flames not only can burn up the place in few seconds but also can burn up the human body in just a few seconds. Smoke that emits due to fire is so deadly that if someone inhales them they might get killed. And if we believe the facts there are more deaths by inhaling the smoke and deadly gases than the fire itself.
