Fire accidents in Big Cities
Recent years have witnessed a marked growth of fire accidents in big cities in our country. Almost every day we can see flashing fire engines rushing through the streets. Fires have not only caused heavy economic losses but also injured and killed many people.
What are the causes of fire accidents? Most of the fires are caused by carelessness and violation of fire safety regulations. Other fires are caused by home electrical appliances because they are poor quality or because people do not know how to use them properly. Besides, some businesses have focused so much of their attention on profits that they often ignore fire precautions.
We should take measures to prevent fire accidents.
