Thread: Fire

I also send commiserations or is it condolances?
 
As AES says fire can be be generated from many seemingly innocent materials. It is not usually known that iron or steel swarf if left in a container with some form of insulating material rags or sawdust for example can spontaniously combust . This is caused by the heat generated as the metal oxidises, this heat is not noticable when it occurs in the open air but when in an unventilated container it can build up to a temperature high enough to set fire to any combustable materials particularly low flashpoint oils.
 
N.B. Metal swarf together with a range of combustibles is Dangerous Cargo when transported in aircraft
