The kitchen is one of the areas with more fire hazards in the home. The fire hazards in the kitchen have the following characteristics:

1, more fuel

The kitchen is a place where operations are carried out with open flames. The fuels used are generally liquefied petroleum gas, gas, natural gas and diesel oil. If not handled properly, it is easy to cause leakage, combustion and explosion.

2. Heavy oil fume

The environment in the kitchen is humid all the year round. Under this condition, the uneven combustion products produced in the process of fuel combustion and the lampblack produced by oil and gas evaporation are easy to accumulate, forming the possibility of flammable fire with a certain thickness.

3. There are great hidden dangers in the electrical circuit.

The use space of kitchens in catering industry is generally compact. There are many kinds of large-scale kitchen equipment, and the fire and electricity equipment are concentrated. The kitchen is damp and improperly used, and the electrical circuit is easy to cause short circuit.

4, improper use of oil will catch fire.

There are two kinds of kitchen oils: one is fuel oil and the other is edible oil. Fuel oil refers to diesel oil and kerosene. In the process of use, due to improper fire adjustment and placement, it is easy to cause fire. Cooking oil is on fire due to excessive oil temperature or improper operation, so that hot oil overflows the oil pan and touches the fire source. If it is not put out properly, it will lead to a fire.

Countermeasures of kitchen fire

1, fire separation measures must be set between the kitchen and the dining room. The dining room is a crowded place. Once the kitchen fire is not properly controlled and spreads to the restaurant, it will easily cause heavy casualties. Therefore, using fire doors, firewalls, fire shutters and other means to separate the restaurant from the kitchen can not only effectively prevent the spread of fire, but also isolate toxic smoke.

2, more than 500 square meters of restaurants, kitchen smoke hood and cooking parts should be equipped with automatic fire extinguishing devices and fire doors. According to Article 8.5.8 of Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings (GB500 16-2006), the smoke exhaust hood and cooking area of restaurants with a business area of more than 500 square meters in public buildings should be equipped with automatic fire extinguishing devices, and automatic emergency cut-off devices should be installed on gas or oil pipelines.

3. Regularly check the combustible gas pipes, joints and instrument valves in the kitchen to prevent leakage; Electrical and mechanical equipment shall not be overloaded to prevent electrical equipment and lines from being damaged by heat, moisture, corrosion and friction.

4. Clean the ventilation and smoke exhaust pipes regularly, so that people can turn off the power supply and gas source and put out open flames.
