Recently, there have been frequent fires in family homes inside and outside the province, resulting in tragic deaths due to poor life passages and untimely self-rescue escapes, which have caused irreparable losses to many happy families, and the lessons are vividly remembered. Fire safety is important in peacetime, and the key is itself. At present, in winter and spring, the weather changes rapidly, the fire risk factors increase, and the "fire is fiercer than the tiger", it is necessary for the majority of residents to always pay close attention to the hidden danger risks around them, control the fire source, keep the safe evacuation facilities in line with the requirements, enhance the awareness of self-defense and self-rescue, and ensure that once a fire occurs, it can escape safely. To this end, the Office of Guangdong Provincial Fire Safety Commission reminds residents to pay attention to fire protection, pay attention to safety, and make every effort to ensure home fire safety.
01Electrical safety should be kept in mind
It is necessary to correctly purchase and use electrical equipment, do not privately connect wires and sockets, do not overload electricity, and replace damaged and aging electrical equipment and lines in time. When using electric heaters, keep the necessary distance from flammable and explosive products such as sofas, cotton fabrics, lighters, flower water, air fresheners, etc., and do not bake clothes on electric heaters.
02 Gas pipelines are regularly inspected
Gas pipelines, valves, and joints should be checked regularly, and repaired and replaced in time if they are loose or aging. Once a gas leak is found, it is necessary to quickly close the gas source valve, open the window for ventilation, and it is strictly forbidden to dial the mobile phone, touch the electrical switch and use the open flame on the spot.
03Dangerous ignition sources need to be kept away
Do not throw unextinguished cigarette butts on the ground, in paper baskets or around other combustible materials, and do not smoke in bed or sofa. It is forbidden to store dangerous goods such as gasoline, fireworks and firecrackers in the home, try not to use open flame shrines, do not burn paper money and other worship items indoors, and offer open flames and lanterns and candles. It is necessary to properly store lighters, matches, etc., and teach children not to play with fire.
04Electric vehicles should be cautious
Electric bicycles and batteries are strictly forbidden to park or charge in residential houses, evacuation corridors, stairwells, to select qualified batteries and other accessories, to frequently check the charging line and socket, to avoid line aging, wear, poor contact and other fire.
05The life channel is kept unobstructed
It is strictly forbidden to occupy, block, lock or close safety exits, evacuation stairs and evacuation passages. The fire doors and accessories of the evacuation stairwell should be kept intact and normally closed, and the property service unit or owner unit should be notified and urged to repair in case of damage. Residents with anti-theft windows should set up escape windows on the anti-theft windows, and do not pile combustible items on the balcony.
06 The elderly and children care more
It is necessary to popularize fire safety knowledge and escape knowledge to the elderly and children, so that they can correctly handle and escape in the event of a fire. Try not to leave the elderly and children with reduced mobility at home alone.
07Fire fighting equipment is often equipped
Always have fire extinguishing and escape equipment at home, such as household fire extinguishers, emergency lights (flashlights), emergency escape ropes, escape masks, etc., so that when a fire occurs, it can be put out or escape in time.
08 Escape and self-rescue need to be mastered
If you find a fire in your home, you should quickly escape and close the door, and immediately call the police on 119. If you find that the building you live in is on fire, if there is no smoke in the stairwell, please escape quickly, if the smoke has filled the stairwell, do not blindly escape from the stairwell. If trapped indoors, calm down and save yourself, block the door crack with a soaked fabric to prevent smoke from entering, and wait for rescue in a smoke-free place such as a balcony.
