The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in the massive utilization of oxygen cylinders during the treatment of patients. This rapid turnover has necessitated their frequent replacements. Infection control measures have encouraged the use of alcohol-based sanitizers. Over-enthusiastic or inappropriate use of these solutions may increase the risk of fire. We report an unfortunate incident of accidental fire arising out from the integration of fuel, a source of ignition, and oxygen. We also discuss the proper practices to minimize such mishaps.

2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行导致在患者治疗期间大量使用氧气瓶。这种快速周转使得需要频繁更换氧气瓶。感染控制措施鼓励使用酒精类消毒剂。过度热情或不当使用这些溶液可能会增加火灾风险。我们报告了一起因燃料、火源和氧气结合引发的意外火灾不幸事件。我们还讨论了将此类事故风险降至最低的正确做法。
