A fire broke out in a residential building on Meiling North Road in Putuo District
The building where the fire started was a 10-storey reinforced concrete residential building
The building area of the fire room is about 59 square meters
The area of the fire is about 15 square meters
Burned interiors, furniture, appliances and household items
The accident resulted in the tragic death of an 88-year-old male living alone
After on-site inspection and investigation visit
The cause of the fire was preliminarily determined
Elderly smoking accidentally caused a fire
A small cigarette butt
It can "kill"
Let's take a look
The hazards of cigarette butts
Smoking is not only a serious threat to our physical health
It also caused a fire accident
One of the important sources
Many people don't think much of this little cigarette butt
Throw cigarette butts away, bedridden smoking, etc
This is the "hidden danger" of fire occurrence
Friends Blue did experiments
Place unquenched cigarette butts on combustibles
Lit cigarettes
The core temperature can be as high as 700 ~ 800 °C
Extremely easy to ignite peripheral combustibles
A small cigarette butt can cause it
Immeasurable losses
Be sure to pay attention to the following points when smoking
The fire broke out
Except for the cause of the fire
There is also a point that deserves our attention
That is the elderly who live alone
Care for the elderly living alone
As young people go out to work
More and more elderly people are living alone
But many elderly people have a weak sense of firefighting
Unexpected and unexpected situations are often difficult to deal with
Especially in the event of a fire accident
It is easy to cause heavy casualties
The elderly living alone were killed by an electrical fire
At 8:55 on January 4, 2021, a fire broke out in a residential area in a residential area in Jiading District, Shanghai, with an area of about 2 square meters, and an elderly person living alone in the residence was unfortunately killed. After investigation by the fire rescue department, the cause of the fire was the long-term use of the hair dryer, which ignited combustible materials such as cotton on the bed, and the parties died of suffocation due to inhaling a large amount of toxic smoke when disposing of the fire.
The old man cooked away from the sudden explosion
At about 11:55 a.m. on November 11, 2021, in the community near Beijing West Road in Jinghu District, Wuhu City, a septuagenarian cooked at home, then left the kitchen to watch TV, and when he returned to the kitchen again, he found that the gas stove was extinguished, and when the old man re-ignited, an explosion accident suddenly occurred, and the home was blown up beyond recognition.
As a child
In addition to caring for the elderly materially and spiritually
Fire safety cannot be ignored either
We should pay attention to the following points
First, remove the fire in the home
When visiting the elderly during the festival, help to remove the fire in the home, and do not pile up debris and waste in the house, walkway, balcony, etc.
Second, clean up the kitchen oil pollution
Help the elderly check the gas pipeline, clean the stove and flue oil stains, remind the elderly not to put flammables around the stove, and turn off the gas and power before going out.
Third, the basic knowledge of the kitchen
Remind the elderly to cook without leaving people, can not burn dry pots, when the oil pot is on fire, you should immediately cover the pot lid or pour in the vegetables to achieve the effect of extinguishing the fire.
Fourth, the safe use of electrical appliances
Tell the elderly to use electrical appliances safely, do not use high-power electrical appliances at the same time, do not privately pull random wires, and go out in time to cut off the power.
5. Civilized sacrifices
During the festival, there are more sacrifices, and the elderly should be reminded not to burn paper money incense candles in the home, corridors and other places, and if necessary, to the prescribed places to sacrifice.
Sixth, do not covet money and do not enter a dangerous situation
Remind the elderly that once a fire occurs, do not covet property, do not blindly fight the fire, evacuate the fire site at the first time, and call and call the police.
Elderly people have limited mobility
Insufficient ability to evacuate in the event of a fire
Fire awareness is weaker
Children's education and help are needed
Make the fire safety awareness deep into the heart of every elderly person
Holding up a safe "protective umbrella" for the elderly living alone
