Recently, many netizens have posted videos on the Internet using "fairy sticks" to create cool effects. For a time, the "fairy stick" became a hot product on the Internet. Many people think that the "fairy stick" belongs to cold fireworks, safe and reliable, so is this the case? Firefighters use experiments to reveal the answers for us.
Entering the "fairy stick" on the e-commerce platform will instantly pop up a lot of related products, and the sales volume of many stores has reached more than 10,000. However, firefighters found that in these product introductions, they did not see the merchants' reminders of the dangers of the "fairy stick". Firefighters selected and purchased several varieties of "fairy sticks" on the e-commerce platform for testing. It was found that although many "fairy sticks" have slogans such as cold fireworks and safety, the lit "fairy sticks" can ignite combustible materials such as newspapers and towels.
In addition to the "fairy stick", there is also a steel wire cotton that has recently become a "net red firework". Firefighters imitated netizens, tying steel wire cotton to one end of a metal chain and dancing while placing newspapers and towels nearby. Through experiments, it can be found that the steel wire cotton floating in the dance can easily ignite the newspaper, and the thicker towels are slowly ignited after repeated contact with the unburned steel wire cotton debris, and will leave difficult traces on the smooth tile surface. According to firefighters, this kind of steel wire cotton is actually a consumable used in industrial production, which is more dangerous than "fairy sticks" to be used as fireworks.
As the year draws to a close, the fire department reminds consumers that the purchase of fireworks must be purchased at authorized finger gate stores, and they should be fired in the specified areas when they are released.
