They went on to say that the continuous extension of natural gas supply to houses increases the probability of crises and fires significantly. (Available in Arabic – German in PDF)
Fire extinguishing and industrial safety experts called for the issuance of comprehensive insurance for real estate facilities and homes as a necessary precaution. They confirmed that the extinguishing system and device are equal to the value of real estate facilities or houses, including all furniture and properties, as well as the life of individuals involved when the fire broke out. They went on to say that the continuous extension of natural gas supply to houses increases the probability of crises and fires significantly. Mr. Azman wondered if gas connections are covered by insurance and if citizens have obtained compensation for loss of lives and properties. However, Arab countries such as Dubai, Qatar, and Bahrain have preceded us by imposing an obligation to have extinguishers in each home, in order to insure it and others against fire risk, which may move from one house to another far. In most incidents, fire hazards may reach innocent parties and spread from one place to another, Mr. Azman added. He pointed out that the increased extension of gas supplies to houses in Egypt is accompanied by escalating rates of fire risks, which occur mainly in kitchens. Furthermore, the indicators refer to the trend of increasing rates of installation.
