Sanxiang Metropolis Daily, New Hunan Client, October 26 (All-media reporter Zhang Yangyin correspondent Liu Longqun Wang Haifang video clip He Jiajie) Many people do not unplug the plug in time when they run out of electrical appliances, thinking that at most it is a bit of electricity consumption, ignoring that this is also a fire hazard. The Xiangxi Luxi County Fire Rescue Brigade handled two fires a day caused by unplugged plugs on the plug board, rescued 6 people and extinguished the fires.

Today, the Hunan fire department issued a safety reminder, the temperature plummeted, the frequency of residents using fire electricity increased, after using the plug board, the plug should be unpluged in time, and turn off the power, to avoid short circuit of the plug board caused by fire.

At 2:50 a.m. on the 23rd, the Luxi County Fire Rescue Brigade received an alarm that a fire had broken out in a private house in the Shanshui Garden of Wuxi Town, County. After receiving the police, the brigade immediately dispatched 2 vehicles and 14 fire commanders and fighters to deal with it.

"There are still 4 people in the house, please save them!" At 2:55, the commanders and fighters arrived at the scene and found that the building that started the fire was the living room of the residents on the 5th floor of the community, at this time, the door was wide open and the smoke in the house was thick. The hostess stood outside the house, anxiously asking for help, saying that her husband, children and nanny were trapped inside. At this time, the open flame spreads from inside the house to the outside of the house and must be controlled in time.

The on-site commander immediately ordered the two firefighters to do personal protection and put out a water gun from the front to extinguish the fire. After the fire is basically controlled, enter the inside of the fire site to search for and rescue the trapped people by shouting. A few minutes later, the commanders and fighters found 4 trapped people in the anti-theft net of the bathroom and evacuated them to a safe area.

Also on the 23rd, at 7:05 a.m., the brigade received a plea for help from the masses, saying that a fire had broken out in a house near Jianshe North Road in Wuxi Town, County, and some people were trapped.

Rescuers arrived at the scene and found that the security door of the fire house was closed tightly, and due to the long-term burning, it had been seriously deformed, at this time, a large amount of smoke came out of the house, and two people in the house were trapped on the anti-theft net of the bedroom window. Fortunately, fire rescue personnel arrived in time to extinguish the fire to rescue the trapped people, and the fire did not cause casualties.

It is understood that the residents of the two incident communities did not unplug the stove plug on the plug board before going to bed, and did not turn off the power, resulting in a short circuit on the plug board, thereby igniting the surrounding combustible materials and causing a fire.

The fire department reminds that the temperature has plummeted in recent days, and the frequency of residents using fire electricity has increased, and the fire reminds that after using the plug board, it should be unpluged in time and turn off the power supply to avoid short circuits in the plug board and cause fire.
