What are the problems that can cause fires?
01 The phenomenon of "three-in-one" is widespread
Some shop owners blindly pay attention to the efficiency of production and operation, ignore fire safety management, and set up accommodation, production, warehousing, and business premises in the same building by adding mezzanines and compartments, and there is no physical separation.
02 Flammable and combustible materials are stored in large quantities
A large number of flammable and combustible goods are generally stored in the shops, coupled with poor management and crowded stacking, it is easy to cause fires when encountering open flames.
03 The laying of electrical lines is not standardized
In shop fires, faulty electrical wiring accounts for the majority of cases. For the convenience of operation and accommodation, a considerable number of shop owners have the phenomenon of illegally connecting wires and overloading electricity, which is easy to cause fires.
04There is illegal fire use in the store
In some stores, there are behaviors such as illegal use of open flames for cooking, illegal use of open flames during business hours, and smoking next to combustibles in the store, all of which can easily ignite combustibles in the store.
05Use flammable and combustible materials for decoration
In order to save costs and shorten the construction period, some shop users often use a large number of combustible materials for decoration during the decoration process. These materials burn violently and produce a large amount of toxic fumes, which not only hinders the escape of personnel, but also causes great obstacles to fire fighting and rescue.
