Fire Accidents in Cities

　　Recent years have witnessed a marked growth of fire accidents in cities. We often see flashing fire engines rushing through the streets. Fires have not only caused heavy econornic losses but also injured and killed many people.

　　What are the causes of fire accidents? Most of the fires are caused by carelessness and violation of fire safety regulations. Other fires are caused by home electrical appliances, because they are of poor quality or because people do not know how to use them properly. Besides, some businesses have focused so much of their atlention on profits that they often ignore fire precautions.

　　To prevent fires and reduce iamages from fire accidents, we should educate people to raise their sense of fire prevention, warn children of the dangers of playing with matches, and instruct workers to be more careful with insulation. In addition, we should improve existing fire engines and add more fire facilities to high buildings. Thus, the fire prevention system will become more reliable. (164 words)
