How does argon put out fires?

Argon extinguishes fires by displacing oxygen in the air, which is essential for combustion. When released, argon forms a blanket over the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply and smothering the flames. This process effectively suffocates the fire, causing it to go out.


Why do the worst fires occur at oil refineries?

It may be an unsupportable assumption that the worst fires occur at oil refineries. Oil refinery fires are usually extinguished quickly and are usually well contained. It all depends how you define 'worst'. The most difficult to stop fires tend to be fires in forested lands. The most expensive fires tend to be large commercial buildings. Fires with the highest human death rates tend to be in dense informal urban settlements - so called slums. The most polluting fires tend to be associated with gas flares and well fires in oilfields.


How dangerous are fires?

Fires can be extremely dangerous as they spread rapidly and can cause destruction to property and loss of life. Smoke inhalation, burns, and structural collapses are some of the risks associated with fires. It is important to have fire safety measures in place to prevent and mitigate the impact of fires.
