Fire

The risk of fire is small, but any loss or damage it might cause (e.g. from soot or smoke) can be devastating. Be aware of the potential impact a fire could have on your archive and collections. Causes:

• Electrical sources: electrical overload, electrical panels and equipment, short circuits, self-ignition, air conditioning, climate systems, overheating or defective appliances, old power cables, dust on power cables
• Flammable materials near a flame
• Construction and restoration works (e.g. welding, soldering, paint stripping)
• Gas leaks
