Cause Of Fire In Buildings: Often we hear in the news that a massive fire has broken out in a market or a narrow street of some city. But have you ever wondered why most of the fires occur in these narrow streets as compared to wide roads? This is not a coincidence, but there are many big and dangerous reasons behind it. Let us understand what is the reason behind these incidents.

Breaking the rules is the biggest mistake

The biggest reason for fires in shops and houses in cities is that people do not follow the government rules for building buildings. A big example of this was seen on Wednesday. The hotel in which the massive fire broke out in a crowded area like Malviya Nagar was actually an ordinary house built for living. But by breaking the rules that house was made much bigger and was converted into a hotel. Such illegal constructions done without planning are becoming the cause of major accidents in cities today.

hanging wires like spider web

In areas with narrow streets, electrical wires are a big problem. In these streets, there is such a network of electric wires overhead that even the sky is not visible. Many times, short circuit occurs in these wires due to overloading. As soon as the spark comes out, the shops or houses below catch fire.

buildings built next to each other

On these narrow roads, houses and shops are completely connected to each other. There is no way for air to come and go. In such a situation, if even a small fire breaks out in one shop, it immediately spreads to the entire street due to heat and suffocation. In closed places, oxygen is available for the fire to spread, but the smoke is not able to come out.

Fire brigade entry block

The scariest thing is that after a fire, help does not reach there on time. Big fire engines are unable to enter these narrow streets. By the time firefighters connect pipes and make arrangements to pour water from a distance, the fire has spread.

What is the loophole?

To avoid such accidents, it is very important to keep electrical wires underground. Also, every street should have small fire extinguishers and water pipelines so that people can protect themselves before the arrival of firefighters. Vigilance and strict adherence to rules is the only way to avoid this danger.

The massive fire incident in Vivek Vihar area has shocked the entire area. Nine people from two families, including a child, died in a sudden fire in a four-storey residential building in the early hours of Sunday. Preliminary investigation suspects that the fire started due to an explosion in the air conditioner on the ground floor, which was further fanned by strong winds.

According to local people, the fire spread so fast that no one had a chance to recover. Dense smoke filled the inside of the building, due to which people were trapped in their flats. The biggest problem was that there was only one exit in the building and the door to the roof was closed. Due to which all the exit routes were closed.

Grill was installed in the house to prevent theft

Neighbors said that the iron grills installed to prevent theft became a death trap in this accident. Many people could not go out because of these grills. Besides, vehicles parked on the road and narrow streets also hindered the relief work. A local domestic help said that when she came out after hearing the noise and siren, there was smoke and chaos all around. People tried to help at their level and helped the trapped people jump by throwing mattresses from the windows.
