Huge fire loads are stored and processed in waste disposal plants. Little stands in the way of a major fire once flames develop.
Unless of course the plant is equipped with a water or special extinguishing system that significantly reduces the consequences of a fire.
Self-ignition, external ignition sources or mechanical processes during the transportation of fire loads are among the most common causes of fires. But the risk of an explosion also has to be taken into account in some plant components by implementing suitable protection systems.
