What are the common sense of fire safety?

During festivals, there is a large flow of people and goods, and fire safety issues receive much attention. Especially in the dry spring and autumn seasons, when the wind dries out everything, a fire accident can easily occur if you are not careful. Safety hazards are everywhere around us, such as fires of electrical appliances, liquefied gas and gas stoves, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to have some fire safety knowledge. The following editor will introduce some common sense of fire safety.

Use electrical equipment correctly, do not connect power cords randomly, do not overload electricity, replace aging electrical equipment and lines in time, and turn off the power switch when going out. Educate children not to play with fire, and keep lighters and matches out of children's reach. Do not smoke while lying in bed or on the sofa, do not smoke while working or looking for things, do not throw cigarette butts and unburned matchsticks around, do not knock off cigarette ashes, and do not leave lit cigarette butts anywhere.

You cannot take the elevator to escape in the event of a fire. Because in the event of a fire, the elevator does not have high-temperature resistance. When encountering high temperatures, the elevator car is prone to lose control or even deform and get stuck, and some even pose a risk of electric shock. When the elevator is in operation, the elevator shaft will lose its smoke-proof function, thus producing a chimney effect, making it a vertical channel for smoke and fire, which not only threatens the safety of personnel, but also contributes to the diffusion and spread of smoke and fire.

The capacity of an elevator is extremely limited, and it can usually only carry a dozen people at a time. When there are many people and the situation is urgent, the slow evacuation will cause the trapped people to panic, leading to chaos, resulting in accidents such as squeezing and jumping from buildings, causing unnecessary casualties. In addition, do not throw unextinguished cigarette butts or other items with flames into the garbage chute. The installation and use of electrical equipment must comply with relevant technical specifications and take necessary fire safety measures. Do not pile objects or set up sheds in public passages, stairs, emergency exits, etc. Do not stack flammable and explosive items on the balcony.

The above is an introduction to common knowledge about fire safety. Young people’s awareness of fire safety prevention is relatively weak, so parents must do a good job in safety education. Before going out for a trip, you should carefully check for fire hazards in your home and check whether the valves of liquefied gas and natural gas are tightly closed. If you discover a fire, be sure to call 119 immediately.
