This year's winter is a little late but there will be no shortage, recently, the temperature across the country has begun to drop, and there is a rhythm of winter that is about to enter. Winter is the period of high incidence of fires, not only because of the dry weather, but also because of two very important reasons, namely heating and festivalsAnd how to prevent it?
1. Electrical fires
In winter, because of the heating requirements, electric heaters, small suns, electric blankets, and air conditioners are used in large quantities, not only the electrical load has increased, but also these equipment are high-power electrical appliances. In particular, heating equipment such as electric heaters and small suns can cause very high ambient temperatures when they are used, and if they are not used properly, they are very likely to induce danger. For example, some people use electric heaters and small suns as dryers to bake clothes in front of them or even on top of the machine. Combustible objects that are too close together can reach the ignition point and cause a fire when the temperature in a location continues to rise. Every year, there are many incidents of fires caused by the use of electric heaters, and we need to be warned.
Precautionary measures:
1. Electric heaters, small suns and other electrical appliances should not be shared with other electrical equipment, because the power of these electrical appliances is larger, and most of us do not know how to judge whether there will be line overload, so the easiest way is to use it alone.
2. When using electric heaters, small suns and other electrical appliances, it is best not to place combustible objects nearby, especially paper, cotton wool and other flammable materials.
3. Do not use high-power heating equipment continuously for too long, otherwise the cable is prone to high temperature danger, intermittent power failure, rest and cooling.
4. When buying heating equipment, you must go to a regular place to buy regular brand products, and the quality of electrical equipment is directly related to the safety of users.
2. Open flame heating fire
In many rural areas, old-fashioned carbon fires and honeycomb coal stoves are used in the harsh winter period, and many of these heating equipment are homemade, or even very simple, and there is no safety guarantee. If it leaves people during use or is not completely extinguished after use, if the spark falls on the surrounding combustible materials, there is a potential safety hazard. In previous winters, there were incidents of fires caused by smoking bacon and sausages with fire, which was also caused by improper use of fire.
Precautionary measures:
Try not to use coal and charcoal burning in the open air, which not only leads to environmental pollution, but also brings danger to yourself. Heating methods such as central heating and air conditioning are recommended.
3. Fireworks and firecrackers fires
There are several important traditional Chinese festivals in winter, including the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival. And there is a tradition in China, that is, on important festivals, like to set off fireworks, although most cities and towns now prohibit fireworks and firecrackers at will, but many small towns, rural areas have relatively few restrictions, or there is a custom of setting off fireworks. The sparks produced by fireworks are difficult to completely control, especially fireworks, which have a wide range of impact, and once a spark falls on flammable materials such as grass piles and grass sheds, it is very dangerous. Moreover, there is also a common phenomenon, that is, there are more people holding banquets in winter, because some people work outside all the year round, and they take advantage of the Chinese New Year to make up the banquet, which also increases the frequency of use of fireworks.
Precautionary measures:
Fireworks and firecrackers are a custom to celebrate festivals in our country, which can be continued but must be safe, so it must be set off in a designated place or an open place in accordance with the regulations, do not set off anywhere, and ensure that you can not leave people before it is completely extinguished.
