Fires are a common hazard while operating electrical devices. The current moving through the wires in these devices produces heat which, if adequate cooling systems are not in place, can cause the circuit boards to catch on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is quite a dangerous possibility which is why all electrical goods manufacturers take added precautions and account for cooling whilst designing their inventions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is done so that the heat can escape and the temperatures don\u2019t flare up to the point of starting a fire. Fires are dangerous as they are but electrical fires are even more so because you can\u2019t use water to put it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water is a conductor of electricity and if electric fires come in contact with water, the person administering it might get electrocuted. Thus we have to be extra careful when dealing with electrical fires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus there\u2019s this whole thing of the electrical device getting completely destroyed if it catches on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that electrical instruments almost always emit radiation<\/a>. So the question is, do electrical fires produce radiation? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we take a look at electrical fires, their effects with respect to radiation, and how to quickly subdue it if an electrical fire broke out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do electrical fires emit radiation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes and no. Yes, they emit radiation but not in the way you\u2019re probably thinking. You see, heat is in the radiation spectrum. It is called thermal radiation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When there\u2019s an electric fire, there are loads and loads of thermal radiation being produced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, the heat can interact with the metallic wires and other silicon components and generate X-Rays which are substantially more dangerous to human beings if exposed for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In everyday use, the most dangerous type of radiation a wireless device generates is RF. If that device happens to catch on fire, there is no RF radiation but there are copious amounts of thermal radiation, decaying EMF radiation, and X-Ray radiation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So while there is no RF radiation being emitted in an electric fire, it is still very dangerous to be near one because of the other kinds of radiation that are being emitted from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effect of fire radiation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s assume you happen to be at a place where an electric fire is raging. What does it mean for your health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The first thing is, you are getting exposed to all kinds of radiation the first of which is decaying EMF radiation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decaying EMF is basically EMF that was being produced as a result of current running through the device. While the device is on fire, the leftover EMF radiation<\/a> starts to decay and leak out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the process, it mixes with thermal radiation from the fire and gains more power. These radiation waves can interact with your cellular structures and create all sorts of problems for your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have shown that fire radiation can be the cause of multiple chronic conditions. Scientific analysis of health conditions among firefighters specializing in electrical fires shows us definitively how radiation plays a role in the deterioration of health in these individuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all of the firefighters from the study admitted to having specific symptoms commonly identified with radiation exposure and some even exhibited more acute chronic conditions that too are believed to be brought about by too much radiation exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common conditions included things like lack of attention, loss of appetite, and slow motor response to name a few. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there were a number of acute conditions too that were more serious and threatened their quality of life. These included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
