Fire Prevention

The Kuwait fire incident during wedding was really unfortunate. It is being suspected that the cause of fire may be the malicious intent. Irrespective of the cause of fire had the Fire Prevention appliances were in place most of the lives could have been saved. The lack of adequate number of exit doors is also one of the major reasons for deaths. To avoid these types of incidents the premises for weddings should be adequately ventilated, tiles should be preferred instead of carpets, with sufficient number of fire exit's, kitchen should be at a safer distance from the partying area, good fire safety equipments should be available along with necessary training for safety. The guests should also be made aware of the safety facilities as a part of the Preventive measures. (17-08-2009).
