According to the Department, the most common causes of the explosions were put down to faulty equipment and reckless malpractice in the use of chemicals, gas, and welding equipment.
Explosive blasts resulting from fires are often less dangerous than those caused by detonated explosive devices, as evidenced by the recent explosion in northern Bac Ninh Province, says a representative from the Department.
