Tips
Dormitories are places where a high density of people live
There are many fire hazards
Fire safety is particularly important
Features of fires in dormitories
1. The fire spreads quickly
There are many items in the dormitory, including clothing, bedding, books, furniture, etc., most of which are flammable, and once a fire breaks out, the fire can easily spread quickly.
2. High smoke concentration
The dormitory space is relatively closed, and the smoke generated after the fire is not easy to disperse, and the smoke concentration is large and the visibility is low, which makes it difficult for personnel to evacuate and extinguish fires.
3. Difficulty in evacuating people
The dormitory is densely populated, and when a fire breaks out, people tend to panic and crowd each other, making it difficult to evacuate. In addition, some dormitories may have problems such as poor evacuation channels and inconspicuous evacuation instructions, which will also increase the difficulty of evacuation.
4. Rescue is difficult
Due to the limitations of the dormitory building structure, it is difficult for rescuers to quickly enter the fire scene for rescue. At the same time, the fire and smoke in the dormitory will also cause some disturbance and hindrance to the rescue work.
The main cause of the fire in the dormitory
1. Improper use of electrical appliances
Prolonged use of high-power appliances or overloaded use of sockets can cause overheating of wires and may cause fire. The use of substandard or aging electrical products, such as broken wire insulation, poor socket contact, etc., can become a fire hazard. Failure to pay attention to ventilation when using electrical appliances can cause the equipment to overheat and may cause a fire.
2. Pull the wires randomly
Pulling wires in the dormitory without permission, or using power strips that do not meet the specifications, may cause a fire due to poor contact or short circuit. Wires are laid haphazardly on the ground or on beds, and can be trampled on or rubbed and cause breakage, which can lead to fires.
3. Illegal use of open flames
Smoking in the dormitory, improper handling of cigarette butts may ignite flammable materials. The use of open flames such as candles and stoves without taking safety measures or taking care of them may cause a fire.
4. Storage of flammable materials
A large number of flammable materials such as paper, clothing, bedding, etc. are stored in the dormitory, and if a fire breaks out, the fire will spread quickly. Stacking flammable items near electrical appliances can cause fires due to electrical malfunction or high temperatures.
5. Weak awareness of firefighting
Employees have insufficient awareness of fire hazards and lack basic fire safety knowledge and prevention awareness. Failure to detect and eliminate fire hazards in a timely manner, or failure to take the right response when a fire occurs.
How to do fire prevention in the dormitory
1. Do not use illegal electrical appliances
Illegal electrical appliances mainly refer to high-power or unsafe electrical appliances, such as fast heating, rice cookers, electric kettles, hair dryers, electric blankets, etc., the use of high-power electrical appliances in the dormitory is very easy to cause overload of wires, short circuits and fire accidents.
2. Do not connect or pull wires privately
It is necessary to standardize the circuit, avoid the wire passing through the combustible, use the socket and socket that meet the national safety and quality standards, manage all kinds of power plugs on the socket, and replace it in time if it is damaged, so as to avoid the fire caused by short circuit of the wire or poor contact of the joint.
3. Do not use open flames
It is strictly forbidden to light candles, mosquito coils, burn items, set off fireworks, etc. in the dormitory, and smoking is not allowed in the dormitory.
4. Turn off the power in time when you go out
Before leaving the dormitory, be sure to check and turn off the power of electrical equipment such as lights and chargers to avoid fires caused by electrical appliances being powered on for a long time.
5. Do not occupy or block the fire evacuation channel
Safety exits and evacuation routes are "life passages". Do not block doors and windows when placing items in the dormitory, do not pile up sundries in corridors and corridors, and do not set up anti-theft windows (nets) that block or affect evacuation in the escape window, and must ensure that the fire evacuation channel is unobstructed, and the safety exit is strictly forbidden to be locked.
