Use of Steel for Rural Housing

Many of the domestic fires have their origin in the family kitchen. If a fire takes place in one such kitchen or elsewhere it rapidly spreads over to the cluster of huts all round. The conflagration assumes very serious proportions during the summer months, when even drinking water becomes a scarce commodity in many rural areas. Villages situated outside the metropolitan areas served by the fire brigades, can hardly expect any external assistance in the event of a fire.
