Experts are concerned about the potential fire hazard with hyperbaric chambers as they become more popular, according to an article on the NFPA website.
For instance, in 2009, a chamber erupted in fire — fed by the oxygen — killing two people inside.
The incident and other serious accidents involving hyperbaric chambers have alarmed many in the life-safety community.
While the majority of the chambers in hospitals or clinical health care facilities are operated safely, increased use of the use of chambers in non-clinical settings have some experts worried.
