Common fire risks in agriculture

Accumulations of dust, chaff, and debris that can ignite quickly
Outdated or poorly maintained electrical wiring in barns, workshops, and storage areas
Overloaded circuits and damaged cables leading to faults
Exposure of electrical equipment to dust, moisture, and rodents
