An explosion is a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, usually with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases.
Although a small number of fires resulting in explosions occur in residences, cars, and other non-industrial locations, the majority are workplace-related. Leaking natural gas lines, gasoline, and propane tanks, and flammable substances such as paint thinners, heating fuel, petroleum, and welding gases, all explode when sparked by fire.
