In our country’s industry, fire and explosions occur almost every day and many lives and property are lost. In Kocaeli, which contains 27% of the chemical industry of our country, when the fire brigade statistics of 2016 were examined, a total of 790 fire cases were intervened. 140 of these fires occurred in industrial establishments. Organizations that store flammable / flammable chemicals in various ways must be aware and prepared for the danger of flammable and explosive atmospheres.
