It can also occur at any structures, may be at a home or at a workplace or in a hospital or in a public place like theatre, cinema hall, Mall etc. Fire in any occupancy has the potential to cause harm to its occupants and serious damage to property.

Amusing/fun facts about Fire--Inputs for a Box Item
Earth is the only known planet where fire can burn. Fire can double every 30 seconds. Given the right conditions, it takes just ½ a minute for a fire to double in size. It is self-sustaining. It’s a process that fuels itself endlessly. Fire can make trees explode. You can make water with fire. You can start a fire using water. An odd fact about fire is that even though firefighters use water to put out fires, water can also be used to start a fire. Pure water isn’t flammable but one of its main components, hydrogen, is. Once a forest fire begins, it can spread at a rate of up to 25 kilometres per hour,
