Question

elaborate.fire can be a good servant but a bad master​

Answer 1

Fire is a very good invention that has helped and continues to help mankind but many say it is also a bad master. Although man is given the brain to handle fire and other problems at ease but man often forgets to protect at all cost. Fire has a lot of good in itself but continues to ravage when it can. We hear nearly every other day the damages caused by fire in our society and how it engulfs certain countries especially Australia where a simple fire swept over a town and many people perished. We see how an old man in his lonely house in The Gambia was engulfed by fire while keeping himself warm by the gentle heat of it and how he ended up being killed by the same fire. Let us read along and see how fire could be avoided but still cooking our meals and how others suffered through fire and the precautions to take.

Fire is indeed a bad master. The name itself is synonymous to danger although it cooks our meals and kills the bacteria it contains. When one goes to the military, there is a tendency to hear about fire arms. This is because it is a dangerous thing and it produces what kills in an instant. One should believe that fire itself is dangerous if not well managed. There is no way we can do without the real fire. Women use it in kitchens, either in or outside the house. They are many a time cautious.

1. Faulty Electrical Appliances. Almost 12,000 fires in the UK are ignited by damaged or misused electrical appliances; the lack of proper maintenance and inappropriate handling of this equipment by unqualified personnel are also reasons for a fire to occur.
2. Waste and Combustible Materials
3. Smoking
4. Human Error
5. Arson
