Background: Fire protection in wood processing businesses
Carpentry shops and similar businesses are subject to special fire protection requirements due to the nature of their work.

In such commercial areas, the fire department always advises meticulous maintenance of extraction systems as well as the strictly separate and secured storage of highly flammable chemicals such as paints or solvents.
