The kitchen is a place that needs to be used every day. No matter cooking or making soup, it should be done in the kitchen. Nowadays, many people use liquefied gas or natural gas to cook. If they don't follow the rules in the process of use, they will easily cause fires and other accidents. So many friends want to know what are the specific causes of kitchen fires?
1, more fuel. The kitchen is a place where naked fire is used for operations. The fuels used are generally liquefied petroleum gas, gas, natural gas, carbon, etc. If it is not properly operated, it is easy to cause leakage, combustion and explosion.
2. The oil fume is heavy. The kitchen deals with coal and gas fire all the year round, and the environment of the place is generally wet. Under this condition, the uneven combustion products produced in the process of fuel combustion and the lampblack produced by the evaporation of oil vapor are easy to accumulate, forming a certain thickness of combustible oil layer and dust attached to the surfaces of walls, lampblack pipes and range hoods, which may cause fires if not cleaned in time.
3. There are hidden dangers in the electrical circuit. In some kitchens, there is still a phenomenon that aluminum core wires are used instead of copper core wires for decoration, wires do not pass through pipes, and switches do not have back covers. These facilities are prone to leakage, short circuit and fire under the long-term corrosion of water, electricity and lampblack. In addition, there are many machines running in the kitchen, and the overload phenomenon is serious, especially some high-power electrical equipment, which will cause fires due to current overload during use.
4. Cooking utensils are easy to cause accidents. Cooking stoves and tableware can easily lead to kitchen fires if they are used improperly. There are not a few cases of fires caused by improper operation of pressure cookers, steam cookers, rice cookers, freezers and ovens in life.
5. Improper use of oil causes fire. Kitchen oil can be roughly divided into two types, one is fuel oil and the other is edible oil. Fuel oil refers to diesel oil and kerosene, and large hotels and restaurants mainly use diesel oil. Diesel oil has a low flash point, and it is easy to cause fire due to fire adjustment and improper placement during use.
There are many reasons for the fire in the kitchen, and it is necessary to avoid such problems when using the kitchen. After all, once there is a fire, it will have a great impact on our lives or property safety.
