It is not uncommon to litter cigarette butts and block corridors in daily life. If residents do not pay attention to fire prevention, some small habits in daily life can also cause trouble for everyone. Let's take a look at which habits may cause home fires.
1、 Laziness during cooking. Some residents choose to watch TV or take a nap in the living room when cooking soup. Although the soup is cooked for a long time, if they leave the kitchen for a long time, they may forget about cooking and cause the pot to dry up and catch fire. Some residents also go out temporarily without turning off the gas during cooking, which is very dangerous. *Door reminder: It is necessary to develop the habit of "turning off the fire casually".
2、 The heater heats clothes. Entering the autumn and winter season, as temperatures drop, many residents use heaters such as "little suns" at home. Some residents may put their clothes on the heater for convenience to bake, but the high temperature of the heater can cause the clothes to dry out and burn directly, leading to fires. Citizens should strictly follow the instructions when using a heater, maintain a safe distance from flammable materials, and do not use the heater continuously for a long time to prevent short circuits caused by aging of the circuit.
3、 There are piles of miscellaneous items on the balcony. Many residents like to put miscellaneous items on their balconies in order to save indoor space, among which flammable waste cardboard, plastic bottles and other miscellaneous items are the most common. Once these items encounter sparks, they are easily ignited. If upstairs residents smoke on the balcony and accidentally drop cigarette butts onto the cluttered balcony downstairs, it may trigger a fire. Therefore, * Men suggests that residents should clean up the clutter on their balconies as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of fires.
4、 Neglecting fire hazards. In daily life, there are many phenomena such as damage to fire-fighting facilities and equipment, blockage of fire exits, and occupation of fire truck passages. Even if residents see such phenomena, they may not necessarily take them seriously. However, if a fire occurs, everyone will know how terrifying these hidden dangers are. Here, * Gate reminds: Residents must raise their safety awareness. Once fire safety violations are discovered, they can report and complain through "96119". Fire safety requires everyone to work together.
How to escape in case of fire:
In the event of a fire, one cannot escape by taking the elevator. After a fire, it is often easy to cause the elevator to become stuck due to power outages. Moreover, the elevator leads directly to the building partition, and a large amount of smoke flows into the elevator passage, which easily causes the "chimney effect". People inside will be suffocated and killed by the thick smoke and toxic gas.
2. To evacuate in thick smoke, try to lower your body as much as possible and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel; When avoiding fireworks, do not drill into small attics, under beds, or large cabinets.
3. It is necessary to master the basic methods of fire escape, understand the surrounding environment of residential and workplace areas, and be familiar with escape routes.
4. When entering unfamiliar places, pay attention to observation and choose an emergency escape route.
Do not blindly * in the event of a fire. Buildings below three floors can use ropes or tear sheets, curtains, etc. into strips, tie them into ropes, and fasten them tightly to fixed objects such as window frames and heating pipes to escape through the windows. High rise residential buildings should be equipped with escape devices such as descent barriers and ropes for families.
6. If there is a fire downstairs, personnel upstairs should avoid opening the door to watch or rushing downstairs to escape. The door should be tightly closed, and damp bed sheets, curtains, etc. can be used to block the door gap or tape it. If the door is hot, splash water to cool it down.
