Imminent danger refers to a situation where there is an immediate threat to someone's safety or well-being. This can involve various scenarios, such as natural disasters, violent actions, or hazardous conditions. The key aspect of imminent danger is that the threat is not just possible but is expected to occur very soon, requiring urgent action to prevent harm. In legal contexts, imminent danger can justify self-defense actions or emergency responses. For example, if a person feels threatened by another individual, they may take steps to protect themselves. Similarly, emergency services may respond quickly to situations like fires or floods to safeguard lives and property.
