Common Causes of Commercial Fire Damage
Common Causes of Commercial Fire Damage
Electrical System Failure
One of the most common causes of commercial fire damage is a malfunctioning appliance or electrical system. Malfunctioning appliances and electrical systems can cause electrical fires, which can spread quickly and cause significant damage. To help prevent electrical fires, it’s important to regularly inspect and maintain all electrical systems and appliances. Additionally, it’s important to use only certified, properly installed electrical components.
Faulty Wiring
Faulty wiring is another common cause of commercial fire damage. Faulty wiring can overheat, leading to an electrical fire. To prevent faulty wiring, it’s important to use only certified electricians to install and maintain a building’s wiring system. Additionally, it’s important to inspect wiring systems regularly and replace any frayed or damaged wires.
Human Error
Human error is another common cause of commercial fire damage. This can include leaving a stove or oven on, leaving a candle burning, or failing to properly extinguish a cigarette. To prevent fires due to human error, it’s important to provide employees with adequate training on safety protocols and to institute safety measures, such as having smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in the building.
Natural Disasters
Natural disasters, such as lightning strikes, can also cause commercial fire damage. To help protect against natural disasters, it’s important to have adequate insurance coverage and to take steps to reduce the risk of fire, such as keeping the building and surrounding area free of debris and combustible materials.
Arson
Finally, arson is another common cause of commercial fire damage. To help prevent arson, it’s important to have security systems in place, such as surveillance cameras and alarm systems. Additionally, it’s important to properly secure the building and the surrounding area. Having motion-sensor lighting offers great deterrents, too.
