Pyrophobia
People with pyrophobia are afraid of fire, whether it is accidental or controlled. They might check their house often for fire hazards because of the intense feeling of a serious fire. Though prevention is always necessary, this condition can result in obsessive behaviors or thoughts. They tend to avoid any forms of open flame, such as matches, candles, or fireplaces which makes it difficult for them to get well with other people at social gatherings like barbecues. [14]
