When you return from going out, wash your hands and face in time, and clean up the flying flakes on your clothes in time.
Fire safety is something to keep in mind
The flying catkins not only have an impact on people's travel and health, but also have fire safety hazards. The catkins themselves contain a lot of oil, which is easy to burn when encountering open flames, and because of its light texture and fast spread, it is difficult to extinguish fires.
Fire Department Reminder:
To clean up the willow catkins in time, wetting, cleaning and burial can be used to avoid leaving fire hazards;
Private car owners should strengthen vehicle maintenance to prevent a large number of flying floc from accumulating in the engine compartment of the car and causing fires;
In places where there are many catkins, you must take care of the fire and do not litter cigarette butts to avoid causing fires;
Once a fire is discovered, call the "119" police number in time to avoid major fire accidents.
