Description
Sites consisting of humanitarian tents and makeshift self built shelters, pose unique fire risks due to the combination of highly flammable materials, improvised cooking and heating methods, overcrowding and limited infrastructure. Fire incidents in such settings can spread rapidly, potentially leading to devastating consequences. Therefore, implementing robust fire prevention measures is crucial for the safety and well-being of residents.
