Fire and Electricity are God’s gifts. They are boon when implemented with prudence, wisdom and abided by rules. They turn into curses when mishandled. Worldwide all are concerned with electrical fire and its prevention. Measures are taken continuously on intellectual, technical and practical fronts to avert the fire and save lives and assets. Despite all out efforts there are failures either in electrical installations or maintenance or design or in material and fire finds the way out; endangering life and material. What could be the reasons? Let us investigate different way. Taking into consideration benchmark of good design, planning, applying codes and standards, I contemplated and visualize about the mistakes that frequently occur or could occur mainly at execution level and this is the focal point of explanation in this book.

Why can't you breathe in Beijing? Why are governments wrangling over the Arctic seabed? Why have we ever more extreme weather worldwide? The answer is fire. Fire in heaters, furnaces, engines and power stations is poisoning air in megacities everywhere. Feeding fire is why governments worry about fuel supplies. Fire produces the carbon dioxide upsetting planetary systems. Fire threatens our future. We think of fire as welcoming. But fire is violent, extreme, rapidly turning resources into wastes, toxic and pernicious. Yet we still rely on fire, even when we need not, and despite the ever intensifying problems fire creates. To address pollution, security, and climate we need to minimize human use of fire. Fire, however, has let us control electricity. Electricity, in turn, may save us from fire. Electricity Vs Fire is The Fight For Our Future.

When They Hid the Fire examines the American social perceptions of electricity as an energy technology that were adopted between the mid-nineteenth and early decades of the twentieth centuries. Arguing that both technical and cultural factors played a role, Daniel French shows how electricity became an invisible and abstract form of energy in American society. As technological advancements allowed for an increasing physical distance between power generation and power consumption, the commodity of electricity became consciously detached from the environmentally destructive fire and coal that produced it. This development, along with cultural forces, led the public to define electricity as mysterious, utopian, and an alternative to nearby fire-based energy sources. With its adoption occurring simultaneously with Progressivism and consumerism, electricity use was encouraged and seen as an integral part of improvement and modernity, leading Americans to culturally construct electricity as unlimited and environmentally inconsequential—a newfound “basic right” of life in the United States.

Excerpt from Electricity as a Fire Hazard We cannot but believe that the losses from fire, legitimately traceable to electric currents, have been due to the ignorance rather than the negligence of those in charge of such plants, and that, if the true limitations of conductors carrying currents were better known, electrical fires would become a thing of the past. That electricity can be distributed safely is admitted even by the fire underwriters, but it took them a long time to make up their minds to the fact. While the fire underwriters may be looked upon in some quarters as enemies to electric lighting, we believe that all well-informed and right-thinking members of the electrical community are in accord with their efforts to secure proper electric installation; and, while the insurance regulations may err on the side of safety, the public, after all, benefit thereby in the long run. As Mr. Jenks shows, the apparent excessive factor of safety called for by the underwriters' rules is demanded by reason of the fact that in many cases conductors are, after a time, called upon for service far in excess of that for which they were originally designed - and this without any attempt at fraud or deception. It is too much to hope that complete immunity from electrical fires can be obtained, even under the best system of rules; but, when the early and defective installations are finally remodeled, it is safe to say that an electrical fire will be a rare occurrence. What is really now needed is that the various rules governing electrical installations should be brought to the point of harmony and uniformity. In some respects they now disagree and conflict, but there should be no trouble in making them support each other alike in letter and spirit. Such uniform rules would sound the death knell of bad work. The "World's Fair" of last year was responsible for many congresses and social gatherings of various orders being held in the far-famed city of the West. It was only fitting, therefore, that the insurance underwriters of the States, amongst others, should assemble in congress within the precincts of the great show, and thus happily combine pleasure with business. It was also no doubt right and proper that in the midst of their festivities, like the Egyptians of old, they should be reminded of more serious matters, and, perhaps, as a shocker, nothing more suitable could have been paraded than that well-worn skeleton - the "electrical fire hazard." For, rightly or wrongly, the fire underwriter does largely attribute his heavy losses of late years in the States to the electrical fiend.
