The causes of fires at industrial facilities of the Russian Federation in general and in individual industries were studied on the basis of statistical information. It has been shown that most often – in 36 % of cases – the cause of a fire is a violation of the rules for the design and operation of electrical equipment. In 22 % of cases, a fire occurs due to careless handling of fire, in 11 % of cases – due to violation of the rules for the design and operation of vehicles. The distributions of the frequency of fire occurrence for various reasons for enterprises in different industries are given. An analysis of the most common causes of fire in general for industrial enterprises and for individual industries was carried out. Measures are proposed that will minimize the likelihood of fires and explosions in industrial enterprises.
