Causes of plant fireAppraisal Background

Factory enterprises have dense personnel, complex environments, and high safety risks. A single oversight can easily lead to irreparable consequences. At present, it is common in many factories to stack various materials together, such as daily necessities, textile and chemical fiber products, rubber products, plastic products, etc., most of which are mixed in one workshop. The piled materials are large in quantity, density, and combustible, and the fire risk is high.

Some factories renovated from old buildings have low fire resistance levels, large building spaces, and a lot of stored materials. When fires occur, they burn violently and spread quickly. In addition, the original buildings were not designed for production and storage purposes. In order to facilitate the storage of goods, rental units often modify and build them without authorization, further reducing the fire resistance level of the factory buildings. Especially for some simple workshops with randomly built steel structure roof trusses, when a fire occurs, the strength of the steel structure will be reduced due to the fire, causing the factory building to collapse.
In the case of factory fire cause identification, Zhongke Testing can provide factory fire cause identification services.

Cause of fire

1. There are many combustible materials and the fire hazard is high. At present, it is common for various materials to be stacked together in large warehouses, such as daily necessities, textile and chemical fiber products, rubber products, plastic products, etc., most of which are mixed in one warehouse. The piled materials are large in quantity, density, and combustible, and the fire risk is high.
2, low fire resistance level, fire spreads quickly. Some large warehouses renovated from old buildings have low fire resistance levels, large building spaces, and a lot of stored materials. When a fire occurs, they burn violently and spread quickly. In addition, they were not originally designed according to the storage purpose. After renting, in order to facilitate the storage of goods, the leasing units often modify and build them without authorization, further reducing the fire resistance level of the warehouse. Especially for some simple warehouses with randomly built steel structure roof trusses, when a fire occurs, the strength of the steel structure will be reduced due to the fire, causing the warehouse to collapse and the roof to fall.
3, there are various architectural forms and it is difficult to save them. Underground warehouses have poor ventilation, which makes it difficult to evacuate, rescue people and put out fires in the event of a fire. Warehouses set up upstairs are prone to building collapse due to the intense flames and accumulation of fire extinguishing water. Warehouses that store materials intensively have large storage spaces, small fire separation distances, and densely stored materials, making it difficult to put out fires after a fire breaks out.
4. There are few warehouse managers and the fire was discovered late. Generally speaking, there are more people during working hours during the day, and it is easier to detect a fire after it occurs. However, there are fewer people after get off work, and generally only on-duty personnel are on duty in the warehouse. Some warehouses do not even have personnel on duty. Once a fire breaks out, it is not easy to detect, causing the fire to expand.

Causes of plant fireAuthentication case

After a certain factory was built, two fires occurred in less than a month. Although rescue operations were carried out in time on both occasions and no major losses occurred, it also attracted the attention of the person in charge. Therefore, a product quality appraisal agency was entrusted to analyze the cause of the fire.
identification analysis results:
After the expert team arrived at the factory, they reviewed the facilities and equipment according to the standard requirements, and concluded that the identification analysis of the cause of the fire in the factory is as follows:
1. Although the factory is equipped with fire-fighting equipment, sprinkler devices, etc. in accordance with regulations, the sprinkler device does not have an automatic start function.
2, the setting is not based on the area size and location, and there are blind spots for fire protection.
3. Some workshops in the factory did not install explosion-proof lights in accordance with regulations, posing safety risks.
4, lack of classic protective measures, low humidity on site, easy to cause fire.
In summary, there are many fire hazards in this factory that can easily cause fires and should be rectified in time.
