Abstract


Fire protection in hazardous materials warehouses is based on a complex analysis of calculations and the current state to determine appropriate protection measures. This paper explores the fire hazards associated with storing hazardous materials in a warehouse setting. It provides a detailed assessment of potential risks, focusing on the unique challenges posed by the nature of the materials stored. The study examines various factors that contribute to fire risk, including the flammability of materials, storage conditions, and existing fire prevention measures. The objective is to identify critical vulnerabilities and propose strategies for enhancing safety and reducing the likelihood of fire incidents. The findings aim to inform best practices for managing fire risks in hazardous material storage facilities.

Keywords
