Building trends that have increased fire hazards
Some construction practices developed during last quarter century gravely affect security and insurability of enterprises against fire; these include concentration of enormous manufacturing areas under single roof, without subdividing fire walls, high piling of stock in fully and semiautomatic high-rise rack storage systems, and progressive deterioration in fire resistance and vulnerability of construction methods and materials; importance of corrective measures is underlined by fact that 43% of businesses suffering major fire loss or burnout never reopen.
