Hunan ** New Hunan Client, February 26 (Correspondent Shang Kejun) At about 5 o'clock in the morning on February 4, in a community in Tianyuan District, people were still asleep, and a rush of ambulances and fire trucks broke the quiet of the night, and a fire crisis occurred in a resident's home. According to the family's 13-year-old boy, he was the only one at home at the time.

The cold in Zhuzhou these days is not inferior to that in the north. The boy said that on the evening of February 3, he covered the stove with his clothes and vaguely remembered turning off the stove before going to bed. In the early hours of the next morning, he woke up from the pungent smoke and the blazing heat, and got up to see that the stove and the sofa beside him were already burning, and he was in a sea of fire, and it was important to flee for his life.

The room is billowing smoke and skyrocketing fire, like the end of the world, what makes the boy collapse is that there is no escape route, and there is no one to rescue and help outside the room, fortunately, he has learned some fire safety knowledge, so he first picked up ** for help, and then covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel and other exposed parts of his head and face ** and hid on the balcony to wait for rescue.

After receiving the alarm, firefighters and 120 ambulance personnel from Zhuzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Injury Hospital quickly arrived. The boy was successfully rescued and sent to the Hand and Podiatric Department of Zhuzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Traumatology Hospital, where Li Kanggui, director of the department, introduced that the boy's hair was scorched, his ears and around his nose were flushed, and his hands were burned and blistered. The doctor immediately gave the right symptom** and was discharged the next day. It can be said that there is no danger.

Doctors from Zhuzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Trauma Hospital remind everyone that the following matters need to be paid attention to when baking fire:

1.Make sure the person is off the power.

2.Regularly check whether electrical equipment such as wires, sockets, switches, etc. are in good condition.

3.Have a fire extinguisher ready.

4.Rescue in mind**

5.The hand is a labor organ and a "face" organ, the anatomy of the hand is unique, and it is easy to form scars after hand burns, resulting in hand deformities and limited functions, so you should go to a professional hand and foot department for treatment.

6.Patients with diabetic foot are advised not to bake the fire, because diabetic foot patients have nerve damage in the foot, are insensitive to temperature changes and pain, and are prone to being burned unknowingly while roasting the fire.

7.Master the measures of on-site first aid after a soup burn injury.

Rinse: Rinse the burned area with clean running cold water for at least 10 minutes, and the water flow should not be too fast. Flowing cold water can quickly remove local heat and reduce further thermal damage;

Removal: In cold water, remove the clothing that covers the wound surface. Remember to be cautious and do not forcibly peel off. If necessary, you can use scissors to cut your clothes with the scissors head upwards to avoid hurting or breaking the blisters;

Soaking: Soaking the scalded area in cold water for 10 to 30 minutes relieves pain and further dissipates heat. If the scald is a relatively small baby, and the scald area is large, you need to pay attention to the baby's body temperature;

Cover: After the above treatment, cover the wound with clean or sterile gauze and towels and fix it, which can keep the wound clean and reduce infection;

Send: Finally, if the condition is more serious, send it to a specialized hospital that can be burned in time.
