Fire outbreaks occur as a result of "human factors", such as carelessness, negligence or simply a lack of fire safety awareness. In some cases, problems arise because the fire safety systems were developed on the basis of misconceptions on occupants' behaviour. Misconceptions happen because there is no proper data available on the level of knowledge of the occupants and they are generally lacking in knowledge of fire safety.
