Any enclosure has risks associated with fires. Fires can start from next to nothing – a badly wired electrical appliance, an overheated laptop computer, a lit cigarette are just three I can come up with at the moment. All fires begin as small flames that can be easily contained if caught in time. Smoke is the tell all sign and should you find yourself alerted, reaction time is essential. Of course, dowsing a fire with a cup of water is easy enough, but should the flame be larger than what can be dealt with an automatic fire extinguisher is what is needed. Every home or office space should carry at least one easily accessible fire extinguisher.
