Recently I am doing my wooden flooring and hence last Saturday, the flooring guys finished the sanding of the wooden floor that generated a big amount of very fine grained saw dust. The whole of Saturday and Sunday, nobody went inside the room and it was totally closed. Yesterday night (Monday night 2:00 am) at around 2 am, I got with smoke totally filled up in the room and I was choking as I tried to enter the room. The saw dust was kept in the ground floor of the room which was granite and was in a bit isolated place and thus nothing happened. The upper floor of that room was the wooden floor which was untouched. It was a very very lucky escape for us. I searched in the net and find that for saw dust to get into flames, you do not necessarily need an external source of fire. The heat generated by the flooring can be good enough for the saw dust to catch fire. I wish to spread this message to all who are doing wooden flooring or any such activity that generates fine grained saw dust to be careful of this flammability hazard of saw dust.
