Refer to incidents involving the ignition of flames resulting in fire-related injuries, property damage, or fatalities. Fires can occur due to various causes such as electrical faults, cooking mishaps, heating equipment malfunctions, chemical reactions, or arson. Burns, which can range from minor to severe, occur when the skin or other tissues are exposed to extreme heat, flames, chemicals, electricity, or radiation.

In legal contexts, liability for fires and burns may be attributed to property owners, manufacturers of faulty products, utility companies, or individuals responsible for negligent actions leading to the fire. Victims of fires and burns may pursue compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage through personal injury claims or lawsuits, often based on premises liability, product liability, or negligence laws.
