Good airflow is crucial in agricultural storage facilities to reduce heat buildup, which can lead to fire hazards, especially with materials like hay or grains that are prone to spontaneous combustion.
Ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating (🚪)
Flammable substances, like fuel or chemicals, should be stored separately from crops and machinery in fireproof, clearly marked areas to reduce risk.
Equip facilities with easily accessible fire extinguishers (🧯)
Fire extinguishers should be strategically placed throughout the storage areas and checked regularly to ensure they are functional in case of an emergency.
Faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or malfunctioning electrical equipment can cause fires. Regular inspections help prevent electrical-related accidents.
Install fire alarms and detection systems for early warnings (🚨)
Early detection is key to preventing small fires from turning into major incidents. Fire alarms, heat detectors, and smoke detectors provide essential early warnings.
