  III、拓展资料
  Fire
  Few things are more frightening than a fire. Fires kill, destroy homes and leave survivors with painful, disfiguring injuries. Worse still, fire is often cruelest to the very young, the elderly and the infirm(弱的). Smoke detectors and sprinkler systems can be very effective in reducing injuries, loss of life and property damage. Yet, clearly the best solution is to prevent fires from starting.

  Fires start in three main ways: accidents (including natural events such as lightning), deliberate ignition(蓄意的纵火), and equipment failure including electrical shorts and overheating.

  Fires can be prevented and their hazards(危险) reduced by:
  Using non-combustible(易燃的) materials which are less likely to ignite and spread fire.

  Treating flammable(易燃的) materials to make them more resistant(有抵抗力的) to ignition and flame propagation(传播).

  Designing buildings that are more resistant to the hazards of fires.

  Using fire-stop barriers to confine fires that do start.

  Installing(安装) smoke detectors(探测器), fire alarms and sprinkler(撒水) systems.
