Jiaozuo fire tips
Many people love moxibustion
But a lot of people don't know
How to extinguish the lit moxa
Moxa sticks extinguished with water
Will it still cause a fire?
Yes!
Burning moxibustion strips are extinguished with water
It can be re-ignited
To prove it
Let's take a look at the results
1
Firefighters light moxa sticks to make them fully burned
2
Put the burning moxa sticks in water and extinguish them
3
Throw the extinguished moxa sticks into a trash can that simulates combustibles
4
A few minutes later, the soaked moxa sticks smoked again and ignited the combustibles in the trash can.
Why moxa soaked in water rekindle
？？？
Moxa sticks are rich in plant fiber
It is in a smoldering state when in use
If you douse moxa sticks directly with water
On the surface, it looks like it's extinguished
In fact, it is still smoldering
It will cause a second re-ignition
If there are flammable and combustible materials in the vicinity
There is a risk of fire
So what is the right thing to do?
Let's look at another experiment
1
Firefighters place the burning moxa sticks in an airtight container
2
It can be seen that there is a noticeable reduction in smoke inside the container
So
For used moxa
The best thing to do when extinguished is
Suffocation method
For example, moxa sticks are placed in a non-flammable container such as a tin box
Close the lid to keep out the air
Burning objects will go out if there is no oxygen
There is no risk of recurrence
It should be noted that:
A tin box containing unextinguished moxa sticks
It needs to be placed separately
The second method
The burning part of the moxa strip can be cut off
Put it in a container with water
Until the moxa sticks are fully soaked
