| description |
Fire is a chemical combustion reaction based on strongly exothermic oxidation-reduction phenomena that result in the emission of a significant amount of light and heat. Its effects are generally detrimental, causing harm to individuals through smoke inhalation, exposure to toxic gases, and extreme temperatures. Fires also cause extensive damage to infrastructure and property. A fire occurs when three factors are present simultaneously in the same location and at the same time: fuel, an oxidizing agent (typically oxygen from the air), and heat, which supplies the necessary energy for the reaction to occur. Furthermore, the existence of chain reactions is essential to produce the flame. The objective of this work is to describe Gustav Purt’s method, estimate the potential fire risk in community pharmacies, and identify the firefighting measures that should be implemented. After calculating various factors, we reached the conclusion that fire risk in a pharmacy is high. Therefore, strict inspections by health authorities are necessary to prevent fire hazards.

El fuego es una reacción química de combustión, basado en los fenómenos de oxidación-la reducción fuertemente exotérmica que se manifiesta por desprender gran cantidad de luz y calor. Sus efectos son generalmente perjudiciales, produciendo daños personales por el humo, gases tóxicos y temperaturas extremas, causando grandes daños a instalaciones y bienes. El fuego se produce cuándo existen simultáneamente en el tiempo y en un mismo lugar los tres factores siguientes: combustible, agente comburente, normalmente el oxígeno del aire y calor, que contribuye con la energía necesaria para activar la reacción. Además, es necesario, para la producción de la llama, la existencia de reacciones de cadena. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir el método Gustav Purt y estimar el riesgo potencial de incendios en farmacias así como describir qué medios de lucha contra incendios son necesarios implementar. Tras el cálculo de los distintos factores, se llega a la conclusión que el riesgo de incendio en una farmacia es elevado. Por consiguiente, es necesario la estricta inspección de las autoridades sanitarias de la Administración para evitar el peligro del fuego. Palabras clave: Combustible; Fuego; Calor; Humo; Farmacia. O fogo é uma reação química de combustão, baseada em fenômenos de oxidação-redução fortemente exotérmicos que se manifesta pela liberação de grande quantidade de luz e calor. Seus efeitos são geralmente prejudiciais, causando lesões corporais devido à fumaça, gases tóxicos e temperaturas extremas, gerando danos extensos às instalações e propriedades. O incêndio ocorre quando os três fatores a seguir existem simultaneamente no tempo e no mesmo local: combustível, agente oxidante, geralmente oxigênio do ar, e calor, que contribui com a energia necessária para ativar a reação. Além disso, é necessária, para a produção da chama, a existência de reações em cadeia. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever o método Gustav Purt e estimar o risco potencial de incêndios em farmácias bem como descrever que meios de combate a incêndios são necessários implementar. Após o cálculo dos diferentes fatores, conclui-se que o risco de incêndio numa farmácia é elevado. Portanto, a inspeção rigorosa das autoridades de saúde da Administração é necessária para evitar o perigo de incêndio. Palavras-chave: Combustível; Fogo; Calor; Fumaça; Farmácia.
