First of all, give a positive answer: it is necessary for the residence to provide its own fire-fighting equipment, but whether it is a fire extinguisher or something else can be selected according to the situation. First, let's take a look at the places that are prone to fire in the home:
1. The kitchen is on fire, the oil smoke is on fire, or the leakage of liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas causes fire or explosion
2. Bedrooms and living rooms, short circuits or fires caused by electrical products, may be charged
3. Balcony, fire caused by foreign fire
4. Beds, sofas, fires caused by smoking
5. Fire caused by debris accumulated in the corridor
6. The fire caused by children's ignorance of playing with fire
Looking at it this way, it is actually very easy to cause a fire if you don’t pay attention. Although it is a small probability event in daily life, there are actually not a few fires reported every year. The probability is only 0% and 100%. It is not a trivial matter, so keeping fire-fighting equipment at home is a responsible behavior for the lives of yourself and your family. It is really necessary to spend a few hundred to save your life!
So, what kind of fire extinguishing equipment should be equipped at home?
1. Fire blanket. Fire blankets can be used to extinguish oil pans, small fires or for escape. For such small fire sources, simply covering the fire blanket will quickly extinguish the flames.
If the fire cannot be extinguished in the fire, then the fire blanket can be worn on the body to escape the fire and give yourself a way out. (For a live fire, you need to cut off the power supply and use it again, otherwise it is easy to cause electric shock and injury.) The fire blanket is non-polluting and is very suitable for home use. One for living room and bedroom. Because the fire blanket can be stored for a long time as long as it is not used, there is no need to feel distressed that it will expire after a year or two.
2. Fire ball. The fire extinguishing principle of the fire extinguishing ball is that the high temperature ignites the lead wire, which causes an explosion to isolate the air, cover the combustible material, and play a role in extinguishing the fire. The function of this thing is actually more inclined to the fact that no one in the house suddenly catches fire, and the fire extinguishing ball is ignited to automatically extinguish the fire. In my colleague's house, there has been a fire in the house caused by the aging of the circuit, so there is a fire extinguishing ball guarding at home, and there is a relatively high probability that the fire can be extinguished automatically. Because the fire ball may cause secondary damage, it is recommended to throw it at a distance, or it is better to use it in an open place. The fire uncle said: It is recommended to use dry powder fire extinguishing balls. The shelf life of fire extinguishing balls is 5 years, which is also a relatively long shelf life. Generally, households use this relatively little, and most of them are fire extinguishers.
3. Dry powder fire extinguisher Dry powder fire extinguisher is suitable for extinguishing general fires, and can also extinguish fires caused by combustion of oil and gas. It is suitable for oil pans at home, gas leaks, cigarette butts, circuit fires, etc. It can be said that dry powder fire extinguishers are the most widely used fire extinguishers. And dry powder fire extinguishers are relatively cheap, and most families can afford them. If there are elderly and children at home, it can be equipped with a weight of about 1kg, which is easy to lift.
Generally speaking, at least two 1kg fire extinguishers should be equipped, which are distributed in different places for quick access.
Of course, dry powder fire extinguishers also have disadvantages: one is that a large amount of harmful dust is polluted, and the second is that the fire extinguishing speed is relatively slow, it cannot prevent flame retardant, and it cannot be sprayed on the body. So it's better to have a new water-based fire extinguishing agent. Flame Warrior is a powerful dry powder fire extinguisher. The amount of 1kg is equivalent to the 3kg fire extinguishing level of a conventional fire extinguisher, and the price is cheaper than other brands. It is recommended that families buy this fire extinguisher.
4. Water-based fire extinguishers Water-based fire extinguishers can put out common fire sources in the home. In addition to kitchen grease fire sources, it is also a more common type of fire extinguisher in the family. Water-based fire extinguishers are easy to operate, less pollution, fast fire extinguishing, flame retardant, and can spray people. They are ideal fire extinguishers at present. Some water-based fire extinguishers cannot put out electric fires, but most of them can now put out electric fires.
The family is equipped with water-based fire extinguishers, generally 2L is the standard, equipped with two 2L water-based fire extinguishers or one 2L water-based + one 1kg dry powder.
5. Fire masks In fact, in many fires, it is not the fire that really kills people, but the various poisonous gases produced by the combustion.
Therefore, in addition to crawling to escape when a fire occurs, it is best to wear a fire mask.
In addition, such an important part of the face will be disfigured if it is ignited by fire. Fire masks can block high temperature and prevent disfigurement. The price is not expensive, and fire masks are prepared according to the number of people in the family. In case of an accident, the escape rate can be greatly improved.
6. Emergency escape rope
If the fire is out of control and the way out is blocked, there is an emergency escape rope and a slow-down device, at least you can escape from the window to the next floor or downstairs, without risking the risk of falling off the building.
7. Smoke alarms
The best time to put out a fire is when the fire has just started, because installing a smoke alarm at home, early detection of fire can reduce most of the losses, which is really a very cost-effective thing.
The conventional alarm is to detect smoke and reach a certain temperature, and it will emit a harsh sound to remind it, which is used by ordinary families.
