Fuel is the combustible material, it can be a solid such as wood, paper or cloth, liquid such as gasoline and gas such as acetylene and propane. An obvious but often overlooked technique for preventing fires is good housekeeping, ask yourself what’s here that can feed a fire, deposit trash in safe containers which are empty daily. Place oily rugs and trash in covered containers taking the fuel away before it can burn is by far the best way to prevent trouble. Keep flammable liquids stored in tightly close containers, draw from the storage drum only what you need, by limiting the volume of flammable liquid you limit the amount of fuel in case of a fire.
