The relevant personnel of the Tianjin Public Security and Fire Department stated that due to factors such as rising temperatures and increased electricity consumption, summer has become a peak period of fire. Residents’ houses are also places where fires are frequented and the most serious.

According to the introduction of firefighters, the high incidence of residential fires and the greater damage are determined by the characteristics of residential buildings and people’s living habits. Especially in the summer, due to the need of living functions, household electricity is easily overloaded, such as televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances can easily overheat and cause fire. Insufficient use of electric mosquito-repellent incense, smoking, etc. may also cause home fires. Residential fires have the characteristics of large fire load, high smoke and toxic gas generation, rapid fire spread, high loss, difficulty in combat, etc. Therefore, the fire safety of residences should be based on prevention, cultivate awareness of fire safety, learn common knowledge of fire prevention, and Long-term adherence to good fire safety habits.

Should be in accordance with the provisions of electrical power switch, do not mess up the wire, do not plug the same power strip multiple high-power electrical appliances, to avoid the simultaneous use of multiple high-power electrical appliances; according to the specified time, power to the mobile phone and other rechargeable, not overcharged, The charger is unplugged immediately after the completion of the charging; the appliances are eliminated and the electrical circuit facilities are replaced according to the prescribed service life. Inadvertent use of fire has always been a major threat to residential safety. Apart from the need to safely use gas, coal and stoves in the kitchen, do not smoke in bed or on sofas, do not throw smoke, throw cigarette butts, and smoke cigarettes. With extinguishment; adults do not play with fire, while educating children do not play with fire, and collect matches such as matches and lighters.

When the appliance is found to have smoke, sparks, or an odor, etc., turn off the power switch immediately and stop using it. 3. Hair dryers, rice cookers and other appliances will emit high heat during use. Care should be taken to keep them away from paper, cotton and other flammable materials to prevent fires. Care should be taken to avoid burns when using them; That is, the power is off, and for the time being no iron should be placed on the safety bracket. 4.

Clever use of "fire extinguishing agent" around him and "help me very much" at key moments

People often find fire extinguishers everywhere after a fire to extinguish a fire. In fact, there are many “fire extinguishing agents” around you that can be used to extinguish or control small fires.

1. Wet cloth. If the family kitchen catches fire, the initial fire is not great. We can use wet towels, wet aprons, wet rags, etc. to directly cover the flames and suffocate the fire.

2. The lid. When the cooking oil in the pan catches fire due to overheating, do not panic, let alone water. Because water is poured, the burning oil will splash out and ignite other combustibles in the kitchen. At this time, you should first turn off the air supply, and then quickly cover the lid to extinguish the fire. If there is no lid, pour the cut vegetables into the pan or pour cold oil from the side and also can extinguish the fire.

3. Cup cover. The alcohol hot pot suddenly burns when alcohol is added, and it burns a container of alcohol. Do not panic at this time, do not throw the container out, should immediately cover or drown container mouth, suffocate fire. If you throw out, where the alcohol is flowing, where it splashes, where the fire will burn, do not blow with the mouth when extinguishing, use a tea cup lid or a small dish cover on the alcohol tray.

4. Salt. Salt is not only an indispensable seasoning in daily life, but also an effective extinguishing agent for fighting an initial fire. The main ingredient of salt is sodium chloride, which rapidly decomposes into sodium hydroxide under high-temperature fire and suppresses the combustion. Salt absorbs heat quickly at high temperatures, destroys the flame's form, and dilutes the oxygen concentration in the combustion zone, so it can quickly extinguish the fire.
