The petroleum industry both mining and crude oil processing has a high level of fire risk. This can be caused by the hydrocarbons from the content of mining products, crude oil content to the fuel which is contained in the area around processing. Where, if there is a fire in the surround area can cause a terrible explosion in the oil tank or pool fire. To identify the potential fires, a manual assessment method can be carried out by: making clusters and grouping of production activities, risk matrix table of industrial activities, field observations, identification of hazard materials, analyzes and actions in accordance with the standard operating procedures applied in the company. From the results of observations on the oil and gas industry in Sumatra – Operation Indonesia, generally the identification of potential fires is good, there are several factors that must be taken so the zero accidents in the oil industry can be fully satisfied.

People oftenky use electrical appliances exceeds the technical specifications, but if done technically prevention of the manufacture of the cable to prevent the occurrence of fire, the fire risk will be minimized. Under the rules of SNI, heated wires or fed by the overcurrent, to be able to not burn. However, in some ocassions, electrical wires burned and turned into a heat source for fires. NYM cable flame characteristics in the event of overload currents, laminar diffusion flame occurs, the process of liquefaction, pyrolysis, diffusion, and combustion clearly seen. NYM cable flame propagation patterns in the incidence of overload start happening at that point reaches ignition temperature, which occurs due to an electric wire heat reaching the melting temperature of copper. Flame propagates in all directions where their fume and oxygen along the cable and around the cable. In certain circumstances, occur splash / explosion of the fuel to evaporate.
