Do you have standing fire equipment in your home?

High temperatures continued, and fires also occurred frequently. The recent London fires and the Hangzhou fire caused worldwide attention.

In fact, when the fire just started, if fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and other fire-fighting products were scientifically used to extinguish the fire, it would be much safer to let the fire not spread quickly. However, in fact, few families around us have taken the initiative to purchase fire-fighting supplies. We believe that bad things will not happen to us.

If it is you, would you like to buy a fire-fighting equipment for your home?

[Investigation] Never Seen Buying Fire-fighting Supplies for the Family

Residents of high-level residences are concerned about the fire safety of the community. For example, whether fire extinguishers are reasonably placed in the corridor, whether the fire hydrants have water, whether the escape channel is unobstructed, and whether the elevator is running sick, but many people have never thought about it. Should a fire extinguisher be placed in the home?

Mr. Li, the owner of a fire-fighting supplies store, also confirmed this situation. His family has been doing business in fire-fighting products for more than 20 years . He has never seen any purchase of fire-fighting equipment for households. They are basically sold to nearby merchants, shopping malls and warehouses. , restaurants, entertainment venues, etc. In the hot summer months, the fire department checked the stores strictly and the shop business got better.

[Sound] Feel lucky that fire probability is low

Mr. Guo, who lives in the Zhongyuan New City of Zhengzhou City, was afraid of the fire that took place recently in the community. He said, "I heard that the electric car was charging and the gas went straight upstairs. It was scary. After this incident occurred, I went with two sets of fire fighting equipment."

Why are firefighting supplies difficult to enter into millions of households? Most residents do not have enough awareness of prevention and feel that bad things do not happen to them. It is believed that the fire facilities in the corridor are safe and the safe passage is smooth. However, when a fire broke out at home, it was too late to find a fire extinguisher on the corridor. The best time to miss fire extinguishment caused the fire to spread.

Ms. Qiao, another fire-fighting supplies store owner, said that the safety awareness of shopping malls and merchants has gone up in recent years, and residents’ safety awareness and common sense have not gone up yet. It is recommended that community property joint communities and fire departments conduct regular fire training for residents and teach them Residents use fire-fighting equipment and advocate the deployment of fire-fighting products in the home.

[Visit] The fire products on the market do not apply to high-rise

Some fire Zhengzhou similar shop sold product type and price, dry powder fire extinguisher (2 kg) 40 / a, respirator 35 yuan / a, fire blankets 25 to 30 yuan / month, about 40 m escape rope (with a wire ) 150 yuan, descending 300 yuan to 400 yuan / month.

Only the fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and self-rescue breathing apparatus that are sold in the market before the market should be prepared and applied by low-rise and high-level residents. However, escape ropes and descending devices are not suitable for high-rises. The escape rope needs a fixed focus point. When the fire comes, someone needs to pull the rope at the window or balcony. If it is a three- or four-storey house, the above people can pull it. If it is high, the human resources cannot sustain it, and there is a danger that the escapee will fall. More than seven floors of the house are not recommended for purchase. If you purchase within 10 floors, you must attach a descent. However, the descending device on the market is not suitable for high-rises. In addition, if there is no professional training, the use of a descending device will increase the risk factor.

For high-level fire-fighting equipment, it is difficult to see on the general market unless it is customized by a professional organization or purchased online.

[recommended] go to the regular shop to buy fire supplies

An instructor of the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Fire Brigade introduced that many building fires can be avoided or extinguished in a timely manner. But now, the residents' awareness of fire safety has not kept pace, and only when they are equipped with fire-fighting supplies at home will they “not catch a cold”.

“It is recommended that families deploy fire-fighting supplies such as water-based fire extinguishers, fire blankets, gas masks and descents,” he said. “For example, when a kitchen is on fire, extinguishing a fire blanket on an early stage of a fire can be effective and will not cause the fire to spread. Loss of property or life."

For the recently launched high-rise escape escape device, the instructor said that a general 20- meter descending device can allow the escapee to descend two or three floors because the fire and smoke are both upward and downward. In the opposite direction of transporting the escapee, the escapee can generally escape through the descent.

“It is not recommended to buy a longer descent rope, because the rope is too long for people to swing sideways, unable to control the direction, increasing the risk.” He said.

The instructor also said that some people think that it is possible to use a descending device for rock climbing. In fact, this descending device is wear-resistant and not fire-resistant and cannot be used for fire escape. When a dweller installs a descent device at home, he or she needs to be installed by a professional and requires stability. The user must learn how to use it from a professional. When buying a firefighting article, he should also purchase it from a regular firefighting store.
