When dealing with terrorism involving fires, conflagration, and hot substances, it is crucial to have a comprehensive emergency response plan in place.

It is also important to have the proper equipment on hand, such as fire extinguishers, protective gear, and specialized tools for dealing with hot substances.

Additionally, it is important to have a system in place for communicating with the public and for disseminating information about the incident. This can help to prevent panic and confusion, and can help to keep people safe by providing them with accurate and timely information about the situation.
