Characteristics of poplar catkins fires
Experiments have proved that poplar catkins fire has the characteristics of many ignition factors, fast spread and difficult prevention and control.
Willow catkins fall everywhere and are pervasive, littering cigarette butts, children playing with fire, electric sparks splashing, etc., are very easy to ignite the flying.
Fly floc contains 90% fiber and oil, which can cause fires to spread very quickly.
When it attaches to other flammable and combustible materials, it will ignite the flammable combustibles, increasing the difficulty of extinguishing.
Precautionary measures
Poplar catkins are extremely flammable, burning fast, and dangerous, so do not ignite catkins at will. After the catkins fall to the ground, they can be cleaned up in time by splashing them with water and cleaning and burying them to avoid leaving fire hazards.
Do not place combustibles such as cardboard boxes, branches, and stacks of firewood around the building. In places where centralized charging devices for electric bicycles are set up outdoors, it is necessary to pay more attention to clean up combustibles in time and eliminate hidden dangers.
For the poplar catkins attached to the flammable materials, they should be cleaned up in time to avoid the catkins igniting the combustibles. Residents should install window screens in their homes to prevent open fires from igniting the accumulated catkins and causing disasters.
The parking lot and the property department of the community should clean the catkins in the site in time to prevent the fire from igniting the vehicle, resulting in the expansion of losses. Private car owners should strengthen vehicle maintenance to prevent a large amount of fly floc from accumulating in the engine compartment of the car and causing fires.
Municipal and garden departments should increase the intensity of sprinkling and wetting of the road, increase the frequency and scope of sprinkling wetting, increase the intensity of inspections and inspections, and timely remove and timely clean up the green belt, lawn, trees, and forest areas in the jurisdiction of the catkins to reduce the risk of fire.
All communities (villages) should organize personnel in a timely manner to clean up the areas where poplar catkins are easy to accumulate in their own areas by means of sprinkling water and then clearing.
Whether it is indoors or outdoors, be sure to take care of the fire source and do not litter cigarette butts to avoid causing a fire.
Schools and parents should strengthen the education of children, strictly prohibit children from playing with fire, and not ignite willow catkins because they are fun.
Finally, I would like to remind you again
Once the catkins caught fire
The spread is extremely fast
Absolutely not by way of ignition
Clean up the catkins
