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 1, English, - prevent%20ignition

Prévenir l'inflammation. La méthode idéale consisterait à prévenir l'inflammation purement et simplement [...] la prévention de l'inflammation exige une surveillance permanente. Les programmes de prévention des incendies ne sont efficaces que dans une certaine mesure. Aucun ne fournit la garantie absolue qu'un incendie n'éclatera pas. On a beau faire preuve de diligence dans le contrôle des sources d'énergie calorifique produite par les combustibles, la friction mécanique, les réactions chimiques, les appareils de chauffage, les systèmes électriques, les feux à l'extérieur ou les incendies volontaires et les désastres naturels, il n'est pas réaliste de s'attendre à ce que les méthodes de prévention des incendies suffiront à elles seules à éliminer tous les incendies dans les immeubles. 1, record 1, French, - pr%C3%A9venir%20l%27inflammation
