- # Fires
- Fires are arguably the most dangerous atmospheric upset that can occur on the station.

- They often make high-pressure and high-temperature gasses, which can quickly spread throughout the station if firelocks or doors are opened carelessly, even if only for a moment.
- If people are caught in a fire, they can quickly become incapacitated, die, and even ash, rendering them unrevivable.
- ## Combating Fires
- The key elements of a fire are fuel and oxygen.
- Removing any of these two elements will extinguish the fire.
- For example, fires that have no oxygen flowing to them will slowly snuff themselves out, and fires that have no fuel will also extinguish themselves.
- Exposing the fire to space will extinguish it, as all the gas will simply be spaced.

- ## Tips
- - [bold]Know the signs of a future fire.[/bold] If an area is filled with highly flammable gasses, it's only a matter of time before a careless passenger sets it off. Try to isolate the area and scrub the gasses out as quickly as possible.
- - [bold]Prevent the spread of gasses using a holofan projector.[/bold] Letting gasses through a firelock can make other rooms dangerous, even for a moment. This increases the number of rooms you have to fix.
