Road and rail tunnels need to be built in mountainous areas, in order to provide the effective distribution of goods. A fire in a tunnel can endanger human life as the heat flow and smoke increase rapidly in such a long enclosed space. In addition, it can significantly affect social economies owing to a stagnation of the distribution and the breakdown of the distribution network.
