PRIETO MUNOZ, Bernardo. Calculating the risk of fire in community pharmacies. Gustav-Purt method. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.1, pp.307-318.  Epub 20-Nov-2023. ISSN 0120-5552.  https://doi.org/10.14482/sun.39.01.378.001.

Introduction:

Fire is a chemical reaction of combustion, based on the strongly exothermic "oxidation-reduction" phenomena that produce a big detachment of light and heat.Its effects are, generally, harmful, producing personal injuries due to smoke, toxic gasses, and extremely hot temperatures; and damaged materials and buildings.

Fire is produced when the three following factors simultaneously coexist in time and space: Fuel; a comburent agent, usually the oxygen in the air; and heat, which contributes the necessary energy to actuate the reaction. Besides, it is necessary, for the production of the flame, the existence of a chain reaction.

Method:

The Gustav-Purt Method, which aim is to calculate the potential risk in a determinate building and of the means to fight fires should be implemented.

Results:

After the calculation of the distinct factors, the conclusion that the risk of fire in a pharmacy is high is reached.

Discussion:

Therefore, strict inspection by sanitary authorities to avert the danger of the fire is necessary.

Palabras clave : Fuel; Fire; Heat; Smoke; Pharmacy.
