Structure Collapse
Fire is composed of three elements - heat, fuel, and oxygen which when
combined will result in a chemical reaction called burning. The leading
cause of death in a fire, by a three- to-one ratio over burns, is asphyxiation
(choking sensation). Fire consumes the oxygen in the air, while increasing
the concentration of deadly carbon monoxide and other toxic gases in the
atmosphere. Inhaling carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness or
death within minutes. The heat from a hostile fire exceeds anything to which
a person is normally exposed. A fully developed room fire has temperatures
over 1, 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Fire generates a black, impenetrable smoke
that blocks vision and stings the eyes. It is impossible to navigate through
such smoke, so fire drill participants should practice evacuating buildings by
at least two routes.

Food Poisoning
This is a contamination of food with biological contaminants such as bacteria,
fungi, viruses and parasites. Chemical contaminants can also poison food, in
the form of agricultural chemicals (pesticides, insecticides, herbicides,
fungicides), environmental pollutants (mercury, lead), veterinary products
(antibiotics, growth enhancer) and additives (preservatives, food coloring).
