Abstract

All fire accidents are divided into two categories depending on the cause of fire. One is natural and other is manmade. All residential and non – residential structural fire accidents are largely manmade. All individual and chemical fire accidents are due to explosions or faults made by human or due to machine failures. Forest fires can be either due to natural or manmade reasons.
