What is the fire?
Flash Fire is a fast moving and very hot fire that can develop when oxygen interacts with flammable substances suspended in the air. It can be potentially very dangerous and may be an unexpected nature. Some measures to solve flash fires may include the use of filter systems to maintain flammable materials outside the air, install sprinklers to quickly block such fires and order staff to follow safety procedures in working in the risk of fire. Spontaneous ignition may occur. Sometimes it results in a alarming clear flash and nothing more, and in other cases patients can experience serious burns or even death. If the fire reaches the airways, the patient can cause significant health complications. The operating room employees take different steps to reduce the risk of this nature, as they may be particularly dangerous for patients with serious illnesses or injuries.
flammable suspended particles may include metals and materials such as flour. Fresh fires can also develop in environments where liquids evaporate and create flammable pairs, or when flammable liquids are aerosolized as it can occur when gasoline spray from the container because it is under pressure. The spark can ignite the material and burn very hot and spread until it comes from the fuel. The duration is usually short, because the fire of lightning consumes the flammable material so quickly.
Flash fires can combine with other phenomena to create considerable security problems. One risk is Flashover, where all the flammable material in the area will ignite at once, as the conditions reach a critical point. This can create an explosive energy release, as the air can quickly expand the and can break from the room, break walls and ceilings. In the effect of the trench of the flames in the lightning fire, the barrier pops up with the potential to expand to itno area.
The industrial environment is a common place for flash fires because the staff works with flammable materials and can generate sparks during their work. Filter systems and ventilation hoods can be useful, as well as techniques such as regular spraying of the area to remove suspension particles, and shielding the device that creates sparks to prevent ignition. Spinkler systems and other options, such as inert gas suppression systems, can also be useful tools for fire safety and kicks inside when a flash explodes to minimize damage.
