On the evening of May 11, a fire broke out in an advertising light box in a shopping mall in the southern urban area. A male customer quickly and accurately found a fire extinguisher. The open flames were extinguished at an early stage of the fire, helping to avoid greater damage.
The monitoring of the shopping mall shows that at 19:42 in the evening of the same day, a fire broke out in an advertising light box located in the aisle, and the flames rushed out from the light box, and soon the advertising cloth broke, and the burning range of the open flame gradually increased. Seeing this, several customers quickly got up and prepared to leave.
At this time, a young man walked quickly into the monitoring area, he came to the wall, quickly opened a cabinet, and then walked out with a fire extinguisher, only to see him pull out the safety, lift the sprinkler, press the handle, and spray towards the fire location. In just a few seconds, the flames were completely extinguished. After that, he cleaned up again to prevent re-ignition, put the fire extinguisher back in its place, and left the scene.
After the incident, the reporter also came to the mall, and the area around the fire scene has been cleaned up, the advertising of the advertising light box has been removed, and the back panel has been burned out of a deep V-shaped gap. According to the firefighters, the male customer was not in a hurry when dealing with the fire, and the operation was smooth, which can be called a textbook-level demonstration.
Zi Xiaorong, fire supervisor of the Xishan District Fire and Rescue Brigade: "When he came over, he was able to find the location of the fire hydrant as soon as he came, and he knew very well that there was a fire extinguisher under the fire hydrant, and then took out the fire extinguisher and sprayed it on the root of the fire source, and extinguished the open fire in the first time." We calculate that the time of his entire operation is no more than 30 seconds. In the face of danger, he is very calm and comfortable, and it is obvious that he has been trained and practiced. ”
According to the firefighters, the customer acted in time and extinguished the open flame at the early stage of the fire, avoiding greater losses. It is understood that the customer's surname is Luo, and he and several friends came to the mall for dinner that afternoon. When I was about to leave by elevator, I found that the advertising light box was on fire, and because I had learned how to use a fire extinguisher before, I took the fire extinguisher and quickly extinguished the fire.
Mr. Luo, a fire-fighting customer: "According to common sense, fire hydrants will be located near the passage, and I happened to see it when I passed by before, and then I went straight to (the fire point), and it actually takes some courage to put out the fire, probably because I am a party member, I think I should rush forward." ”
In the process of extinguishing the fire by Mr. Luo, the property management staff of the mall also rushed to the scene. After the fire was extinguished, they immediately inspected the light box, and the cause of the fire was preliminarily determined to be caused by the aging of the line.
Li Zhifu, property management of the shopping mall: "The staff of the advertising company has been notified to do professional repair and replacement, and a comprehensive investigation has been done on all the advertising light boxes in the entire shopping mall to eliminate potential safety hazards." ”
Regarding Mr. Law's behavior, the firefighters said that if the public encounters such a situation, if they can operate the fire extinguisher, they can try to extinguish the fire. If you don't have the conditions, you still have to choose to escape at the first time to protect your life.
