Could pool fire alone cause a domino effect?
The chain of accidents, also known as the domino effect, is responsible for several severe accidents in the chemical and process industries. The pool fire is often blamed as one of the primary accidents triggering a domino event. The present study is devoted to analyzing whether the pool fire alone...
