Anshun Xixiu District Fire Brigade Fire Supervisor Deng Xue:
There are some risks associated with liquefied gas umbrella heaters, and we have just done an experiment that allows this open flame to burn when you are close to it before you are on this heater. The second is that it uses liquefied petroleum gas tanks for gas supply, and then gas leakage may also occur. The last one may occur with insufficient combustion, which then leads to carbon monoxide poisoning. Now we are generally conducting inspections, and the catering establishments are found to have used umbrella gas heaters to carry out rectification within a time limit, and if the rectification time is up, if they have not been rectified after the rectification time, then they will be punished.
Next, the fire department will continue to strengthen the safety supervision of umbrella gas heating stoves and other heating equipment, and regularly carry out rectification and investigation actions. At the same time, we call on the general public to improve safety awareness, use heating equipment correctly, and jointly create a safe and harmonious fire safety environment.
