Home Fire Prevention

Here are some key preventive measures and points for home fire prevention:

I. Daily Behavior Considerations

Proper Use of Fire Sources:
Do not treat matches, lighters, medical alcohol, etc., as toys. Avoid burning things at home.
Avoid smoking in bed to prevent the cigarette butt from starting a fire while sleeping.
Remind parents to extinguish cigarette butts and dispose of them in the trash can after ensuring they are extinguished.
Regulated Use of Electricity and Gas:
Use household appliances correctly under the guidance of parents. Do not use high-power appliances alone, overload circuits, or tamper with electrical wires or sockets.
Regularly check electrical wiring in the home. Replace worn, exposed, or aging wires promptly.
Regularly inspect the use of gas and gas appliances in the kitchen to ensure that gas hoses are not leaking and that gas stoves function properly.
Avoid Accumulation of Flammable and Explosive Materials:
Do not set off fireworks indoors. The use of fireworks is strictly prohibited in designated areas.
Do not pile up items, especially flammable materials, indoors or outdoors. Avoid storing items in passageways, evacuation routes, stairwells, or other areas that hinder evacuation.
Timely Response to Leaks:
If a gas or liquefied gas leak is detected indoors, turn off the gas valve, cut off the gas source, ventilate the room, and do not turn on electrical appliances.
II. Home Environment Improvement and Preparation

Selection of Building Materials:
When renovating a home, pay attention to the fire resistance rating of building materials. Use flame-resistant materials to avoid the use of flammable materials and furniture that produce toxic gases when burned.
Keep Passageways Clear:
Clean up debris in stairwells to ensure that evacuation routes are unobstructed and meet the requirements of the Building Design Code.
Keep Fire Doors Closed:
Fire doors should remain closed to effectively prevent the spread of fire and smoke into evacuation stairwells.
Storage and Charging of Electric Bicycles:
Store electric bicycles in designated areas. Do not park them in passageways, evacuation routes, or other public areas. Use matching and qualified chargers, avoid overcharging, and never modify electric bicycles.
III. Preparation of Firefighting Equipment

Fire Extinguishers:
Homes should be equipped with fire extinguishers such as dry powder or water-based extinguishers for extinguishing initial fires.
Fire Blankets:
Fire blankets are practical firefighting tools that can be used to cover fire sources.
Fire Escape Hoods:
Also known as fire escape masks or smoke hoods, they provide clean air for escapees to breathe in a smoky fire scene.
Independent Smoke Detectors:
Stand-alone photoelectric smoke detectors suitable for home use will sound an alarm when smoke is detected.
Other Tools:
Equip with multi-functional strobe lights with sound and light alarms and strong light penetration for illumination in a fire scene and sending distress signals.
IV. Improve Fire Safety Awareness

Learn Fire Safety Knowledge:
Parents should educate children not to play with fire, avoid contact with flammable and explosive materials, and teach them basic fire prevention knowledge.
Develop a Home Escape Plan:
Families should develop a fire escape plan and conduct regular drills to ensure that every family member is familiar with the escape route and self-rescue methods in emergency situations.
By implementing the above measures, the probability of home fires can be greatly reduced, ensuring the safety of family members.
