Fire can cause injury, death, and damage to property. The UAE's Civil Defence (CD) responds to emergency 999 calls in the event of a fire. An organization’s Fire Emergency Plan explains the procedures to follow in the event of a fire. 

How do fires start?

A. Heat - A source of ignition, e.g., faulty or misused electrical equipment

B. Fuel - Something that will burn, e.g., soft furnishings, dry waste, or packaging materials 

C. Oxygen - Found in the atmosphere. eg natural airflow through doors and windows from air-conditioning systems.

If any one of these is missing, a fire cannot start. Steps must be taken to avoid the three coming together and thereby reduce the chances of a fire occurring.
