There are many potential fire hazards in life, such as unextinguished cigarette butts, lighters and other fire sources, aging or overloading of electrical wiring, etc. can lead to fires. In view of the characteristics of home fires, Jiao Yunlong, head of the Fuyou Street Fire Service Station in Xicheng District, Beijing, told Beijing Youth Daily that home fires that often appear in recent years are often related to some "small habits" in life, such as many people have the habit of not pulling out electrical sockets, and electrical appliances in standby for a long time will cause overheating inside electrical appliances, thus causing fires. In order to avoid the occurrence of such fires, when using TVs, electric fans, air conditioners, chargers, hair dryers and other commonly used household electrical equipment, if you use it out, you must unplug the electrical appliances to keep the electrical appliances in a power-off state to avoid fires caused by overheating of electrical appliances.
Smoking is also one of the common causes of home fires, especially in bed and sofa. Jiao Yunlong introduced that the temperature of the center of the cigarette butt is as high as 700 to 800 degrees Celsius, although the cigarette burning does not produce an open flame, but will release a lot of heat, this flameless slow burning is called smoldering phenomenon. Cigarette butts falling on the bed and sofa can easily cause fire. Jiao Yunlong reminded that it is best to put out the lit cigarette butts with water before throwing them into the trash, do not throw them directly into the garbage can, throw the cigarette butts to the designated place outside the home, remember not to throw cigarette butts casually.
"The kitchen uses fire to keep people away, and we must develop the habit of walking off the fire." Jiao Yunlong said that the kitchen is concentrated with fire and electrodes, so kitchen fires are also one of the common fires in households, in order to avoid the occurrence of kitchen fires, every time after using the gas stove must be turned off immediately. If you use a natural gas bottle at home, the gas bottle should be placed in a safe place to avoid exposure to the sun. At the same time, do not put oil, alcohol and other flammable and explosive items next to the stove, high temperature, open flame is easy to ignite or induce these items to burn, explosion. In addition, you also need to be extra careful when cooking, cooking oil because of the oil temperature is too high fire or improper operation so that the hot oil splashed out of the oil pan to hit the fire source caused by fire is a common phenomenon, such as improper fighting may also cause fire.
In recent years, with the large use of electric bicycles, in order to solve the charging problem, many people will take the electric vehicle battery home, or put the electric car in the corridor to charge, which is extremely dangerous. Generally speaking, it only takes 6 to 8 hours for an electric vehicle to be fully charged, and some electric vehicles may not have the function of automatic power off when fully charged. If the electric vehicle battery is charged for too long, and the power supply does not have the corresponding overcharge and overcurrent protection functions, it may cause high temperature of the battery or corrosion of the plates in the power supply. In this way, it is very easy to cause explosions caused by battery leakage or power heating. Jiao Yunlong said that the explosion of the electric vehicle battery will produce a large number of toxic and harmful gases, and the open flame generated by the explosion is also very easy to ignite the surrounding items, if the explosion occurs at home, the consequences are unimaginable.
So, what should I do if a fire breaks out in my home? How do I escape? Jiao Yunlong said that when you find a fire in your home, you must not panic, and you must calmly and calmly take corresponding measures according to the fire. If the oil pan catches fire when stir-frying, remember not to fight with water, you should first turn off the gas stove and induction cooker, and then quickly cover the pot lid or fire blanket on the pot. When the room is on fire, the doors and windows cannot be easily opened to avoid air convection to form a large-scale fire. When paper, wood or cloth catch fire, water can be used to extinguish the fire, while when electrical appliances, gasoline, alcohol, edible oil catch fire, you can use earth, sediment, dry powder fire extinguishers, etc. If the fire reaches an uncontrollable level, it is necessary to call the police immediately and quickly escape.
Jiao Yunlong told the Beiqing News reporter that in the event of a fire, it is extremely important to take the correct escape method to save yourself. Once you are threatened by a fire, you should calmly determine your location, judge the fire according to the surrounding smoke, firelight, temperature and other analysis, and do not act blindly. If you are in a bungalow and the fire around the door is not large, you should leave the fire quickly. Otherwise, you must choose another exit to get out, or wet your clothes with water and wrap your head and upper body with a warm quilt before leaving the fire. Do not run blindly in the building, let alone jump to escape, this will cause undue casualties. You can hide in the room or balcony, close the doors and windows, cut off the fire road, and wait for rescue. If possible, you can constantly pour water on the doors and windows to cool down to delay the spread of the fire. In the building where there is a fire, the elevator cannot be used to escape, and the stairs should be taken through the fire escape to escape. When escaping, try to take protective measures, such as covering your mouth and nose with a wet towel and wrapping your body in wet clothing to escape. Text/Reporter Wang Tianqi
