Risk factors	Unextinguished cigarette ends may cause sugar fires, which are greatly feared because they are difficult to extinguish. Ash acts as a catalyst in combustion. Sugar fires are extinguished with CO2 or chemical extinguishing agents. Raw sugar is highly sensitive to any foreign odors and should thus not be stored together with odor-emitting products. Raw sugar is sensitive to dust, dirt, fats and oils. When exposed to moisture, raw sugar has a tendency to grow mold and form syrup. It may also suffer depreciation as the result of infestation by rats, mice, ants, flies and silverfish.
