"Reaction in case of fire" - Appropiated
[edit]Hello. Well, I understand the article is not merely about the physical properties of fire or something so narrow. Having in mind it already mentions things as "Prevention and protection systems" and "History of human control of fire". Please, allow me to improve this article by expanding it. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scriptir (talk • contribs) 01:53, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Please read WP:NOTGUIDE. "Prevention and protection systems" and "History of human control of fire" are clearly written as descriptions of things, whereas "Reaction in case of fire" is clearly written as a how-to or instruction manual, which means that it is not appropriate here.

- Okay. I made an attempt to expose a fire situation without making an instruction manual of it, but it seems that I didn't achieve it. Anyway, I think that some of that interesting information would have to appear here. Now I am ready to write a new text about the matter. Please, allow me to publish it for the improvement of Wikipedia and the satisfaction of many readers. Thank you! Scriptir (talk) 02:53, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- I suggest that you post a draft here and get feedback before adding it to the article. Mitch Ames (talk) 02:57, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Well, basically:
- The text will content an introduction about what is an accident with fire, and why it is so dangerous.
- Next, I would mention the possible scenarios of fire, including major fires, minor fires, particular fires which involve electricity, etc. Different scenarios imply particular reactions. Some part has to be dedicated to the science behind fire extinction.
- Additionally, some concepts must be explained, as the usage of an "escape route" and its timing, and the differences between fire extinguisers, because not all of them are filled with the same agent, which can be interesting in a general view.
- I have much information, I could explain it in many ways. Scriptir (talk) 05:49, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- I suspect that much detail (as you have previously added) is simply to much for the Fire article, and ought to be elsewhere. In many cases it already is, such as in the articles listed in {{Fire protection}}. We have entire articles about: fire types, fire escapes, fire extinguishers, etc. Not everything needs to be in the Fire article. (See also Wikipedia:Content forking.)
