Fire expert tips: Never use a fire extinguisher to spray directly on the person who is on fire, because the medicine of the fire extinguisher causes wound infection, and the consequences are very serious.


The correct and effective treatment method is as follows


1. When a person is wearing a few pieces of clothing, the skin cannot be burned under the fire, so the clothing on the fire should be taken off quickly. Clothes with buttons can be pulled off by grabbing the left and right sides of the clothes with both hands. It is not possible to unbutton them like in the past because it is too late. If you are wearing a zippered shirt, you must quickly open the zipper to take off your clothes.


2. If a person wears single clothes, they may be burned after catching fire. When the clothes on your chest are on fire, you should quickly climb on the ground. When the clothes on the back are on fire, you should lie on the ground. When the clothes on the front and back are on fire, you should roll your body back and forth on the ground to isolate the air. Cover the flame, but you cannot roll fast on the ground. , Otherwise the fire will not be easily suppressed.


3. At home, use bedding, blankets or sacks to extinguish the fire. The effect is good and timely. As long as you pull it open and cover it, then quickly climb on the ground, the flame will be extinguished immediately; if there is water right next to it, you can also use water Pouring.


4. In the wild, if there are rivers or ponds nearby, you can quickly jump into shallow water; but if the human body has been burned and the wound skin has been burned, it is not suitable to jump into the water, let alone spray directly on the human body with a fire extinguisher , Because it is easy to infect the burn wound with bacteria.


Method recommended by experts


1. Self-help, fall to the ground quickly, use your body to press the fire extinguisher, but don't roll too fast, so as not to get bigger in the wind


2. People save it. The person next to you can quickly cover the fired area with cotton clothing, and do not use chemical fiber clothing, otherwise it will hurt the skin.
