Hi! This is John from expertvillage.com. In this video clip, we will be talking about fire hazards. When arc welding, you want to make sure you watch out for all fire hazards and keep all combustible materials as far away as possible from where you will be welding at. In addition, you want to make sure that your work piece is free from any débris, dirt or oil that might cause a fire while you are welding. If you do have any rags with dirt or oil on them, make sure you dispose them in a safety container and make sure that is placed far away from where you will be welding at.
