Preventing Ignition. The idealistic method would be to prevent ignition all together.... the prevention of ignition requires continuous monitoring for success. Fire prevention programs are only effective to a point. None provide absolute assurances that a fire will not occur. No matter how diligent we are in controlling heat energy sources from fuels, mechanical friction, chemical reactions, heating appliances, electric systems, exterior fires, and/or arson, and natural disasters, it is not realistic to expect that fires can be eliminated 100% from buildings solely by means of fire prevention methods. 1, record 3, English, - prevent%20ignition
