What additional measure can help reduce the risk of a pesticide fire?

Keeping a fire-detection system in a storage area is a proactive and essential measure for reducing the risk of a pesticide fire. Such a system can quickly identify the presence of smoke or excess heat, allowing for rapid response to potentially hazardous situations. Quick detection can significantly minimize the damage caused by a fire and provide critical time for evacuation and response efforts.

This measure is particularly vital when dealing with pesticides, as they can be highly flammable and pose serious risks not only to property but also to human health and the environment. By having a fire-detection system in place, a facility ensures that any signs of fire are caught early, which is crucial for preventing small incidents from escalating into major disasters.
