Quake Caused Fires

Fires are the most destructive force when a quake occurs near a modern city-moreso than the tremors. Especially if water mains and fire-fighting equipment are rendered useless, the fires burn unchecked. In the past it was common for the doors of a fire-house to buckle during the on-set of a quake. The fire engines were trapped because the doors could not be opened. Today, most fire stationsī doors are connected to an earthquake detection system that will automatically raise all of the stationīs doors on an average of 20 seconds before the tremors are actually felt by people.
