Some customers express their dissatisfaction with the effects of market fires, saying, "We also get affected by market fires due to our regular purchasing of goods." Because some of us order goods before going out to buy them, fires damage our goods as well as cause financial losses."

Despite the difficulties, some business owners believe that "we are able to prioritize our safety and explore options for rebuilding and recovering, especially with loans as our financial assistance."

Individuals and businesses must take precautions to prevent fires by following safety protocols when using appliances or handling hazardous materials.
