RISING ISSUES OF FIRE1
Fire due to Electrocution and other Issues
The previous assignments discussed about the emerging issues of fire that have risen in its
magnitude in the recent time due to various factors like electrocution, accidents breaking out
due to the various electrical issues and other such relevant factors. The assignment
highlighted about the various statistics that revealed that maximum number of the accidents
sue to the outbreak of fire have accounted to the accidents that have broken out in the
dwellings of large families or the other residential buildings with the highest number of
accidents breaking out in the residential buildings. This factor can be attributed to the various
techniqual errors and rising pressures of population sue to the unprecedented level of urban
conglomeration (Serubiri, 2019).
The second fact in the previous assignment has furnished the information that most of the
accidents occurring due to fire have occurred mainly in the winter months of December to
February. This can be attributed to the failure of the electrical appliances like heaters in the
residential dwellings and other such errors induced by man (Maano & Lindiwe, 2017),The
intensity of the fire outbreaks is more in the winter months because during these months of
the year, the weather remains sufficiently dry which results in the outbreak of fires in the
forests causing massive havoc. The best example of this scenario is the tremors that were felt
in the recent outbreak of the bushfires that occurred in Australia causing a heavy loss millions
of animal and plant life in this region (Mosetter, 2016).
The outbreak of this fire has been attributed to the natural factors like the forest fires.
However, it can be also partly attributed to the man-made factors. The increased level of
pollution, the factors like deforestation have resulted in the above havoc (Williams, Hamid, &
Misnan, 2017). The anthropogenic factors were evident even after the outbreak of fire when
the administration failed to deal with the severity with the incident that took a million lives’

update on the use of the safety glass mechanism rather hen the traditional old glasses which is
commonly used by most of the households (Cheruiyot, 2017).Apart from ensuring safety in the
houses and the industries, there should also be adequate safety standards that should be
adopted in the modern residences.
At the next part of the assignment, I had highlighted about the severity of the injuries and the
losses that have occurred due to the electrocution and the other factors. The main cause of the
injuries caused by electrocution can be attributed to the high voltage lines that have passed
from most of the neighborhoods in any urban region (Austin, 2018).
The accidents in most of the cases occurring due to electrocution are not dealt with
properly because many people cannot understand the root cause of the outbreak of such a
problem as a result of its complexity. The complexity of these accidents lies in its individual
claim structure that rises from the negligence of man in the given environmental settings. The
effects of these fire outbreaks can be both natural and man-made at the same time (Mazziotti,
et.a l 2016). The natural factor range from severe to permanent damage to our environmental
setting with the degradation. The man made effects include the health hazards and the rise in
the incidences of the cardiac arrests and the heart attacks among humans (Amin, et,al 2016).
Preventive Measures
At the end of the first part of my assignment have highlighted about the various preventive
measures that can be adopted by the common man to deal with the increasing detrimental
effects of fire outbreaks. The prevention strategies can include the guarding off the heaters
and other such electrical appliances in most of the residential buildings or adoption of the
application of the portable and the smaller heaters in order to reduce the severity of these
accidents. In addition to all these measures there should be a surrounding guard for all these
appliances at the residential buildings (Dettmeyer, 2018). There should be greater usage of the
