Why do earthquakes often cause damaging fires?
Earthquakes do not cause fires, but they do rattle things around a lot. So if you have a fireplace or a furnace, the earthquake can rattle the coals out of the fireplace, or knock down your wood-burning stove. If you have natural gas or propane heating, the earthquake can break the gas pipe, allowing the gas to leak; if there's any kind of ignition source, this can cause a natural gas fire. In a severe earthquake, rubble can fall down and puncture a propane tank leading to a fire or explosion. Unfortunately, a severe earthquake is also likely to rupture the underground water mains. So in addition to releasing the fire, it can also cripple the fire hydrants, which will make it very difficult for firemen to extinguish the fire.

It is used as an insulator in electrical equipment and because of its resistance to heat it has been used as a replacement for glass in furnace and stove windows. The low hardness makes it useful as a very mild abrasive, and it is used in some toothpastes.
