What substances make up a iron pot?

An iron pot is usually made from cast iron which has about 4% Carbon and 1% or so of Silicon. The handle will usually be of mild steel, though it could be cast as well. Cast iron is used in preference to mild steel because of its corrosion resistance, and particularly to heat corrosion or de-lamination corrosion.The lid of a 'traditional = Victorian era' pot would be made of tin-plated mild steel, because of weight considerations, as the lid is often lifted during cooking process. Tin-plated because that was an easily available material of the day, and is very corrosion resistant. For a smaller pot, the lid may also be cast.A modern cast iron object will be enameled - a hard glaze that is wear resistant, and may be easily colored.Cast iron is fairly easily melted using charcoal fire as the heat source, and will flow easily into a quite thin mold.

What hazards do cast iron facades pose to firefighters?

Cast iron was used a lot in the past for building materials. Even though it is not used now for beams and columns in construction, it was in older buildings. When under high heat, and especially when under high heat and then suddenly cooled (as with a fire hose) cast iron can become extremely brittle and collapse, resulting in injury or death to firefighters. If firefighters are fighting a fire in an older building, this is a huge safety concern. Load-bearing beams or columns made from cast iron have been sited for building collapses in the past during fires.
