Historically, fire statistics show that fires in residential buildings and dormitories account for a large proportion, accounting for about one-third of the total number of fires, and the kitchen is the focus of family fire prevention-cooking and boiling water are all used in the kitchen. In addition, the kitchen is also the place where fuel, cooking oil and gas are used the most. The following is the relevant information I have compiled for you for your reference.

One: fire prevention

1, when the kitchen uses fire, there should be someone to supervise it. According to the investigation data of fire causes, most kitchen fires are caused by people leaving after using open flames, so it is necessary to stay away from the fire source, cut off electricity and turn off gas during kitchen operation.

2. Use qualified wires and appliances and kitchen utensils. Electrical appliances and kitchen utensils should be used according to the instructions, and the lines should be checked regularly to see if they are in good condition. If aging or wear is found, it should be replaced in time to prevent fire caused by aging of wires and electrical appliances or rats biting off lines.

3, the correct use of liquefied gas. Due to the particularity of liquefied gas, it must be operated in strict accordance with the correct procedures. It is forbidden to leak gas, heat the tank or lie down.

4, kitchen dust and oil pollution, chimneys and ventilation pipes of ventilation fans, etc. , should be cleaned at any time, in order to reduce the oil into the ventilation pipe caused by fire.

One: Save yourself.

1, wet cloth. If the fire is not big at first, you can use wet towels, wet aprons, wet rags, etc. To directly cover the flame and "suffocate" the fire.

2, pot cover. When the cooking oil in the pot catches fire because of the high temperature, Chongqing fire department reminds you not to panic, let alone pour it with water, otherwise the burning oil will overflow and ignite other combustible materials in the kitchen. At this time, the fire source should be turned off first, and then the cover should be quickly put on to put out the fire. If there is no pot cover, anything else at hand, such as the pot, can be covered, and pouring the cut vegetables into the pot can also put out the fire.

3. Cup lid. Alcohol hot pot used at home sometimes burns suddenly when added with alcohol, which will ignite the container containing alcohol. At this time, don't panic, don't throw the container out, and immediately cover or cover the mouth of the container to suffocate and extinguish the fire. If you throw it out, the fire will burn wherever the alcohol spills. Don't blow with your mouth when putting out the fire. You can cover the alcohol tray with a teacup or a small bowl.

4. salt. Salt is also an effective fire extinguishing agent to put out initial fires. The main component of salt is sodium chloride, which can be quickly decomposed into sodium hydroxide under high temperature fire source, and the free radicals in the combustion process are inhibited through chemical action. Granular salt or fine salt used at home is an extinguishing agent for kitchen fires and solid smoldering fires. Salt absorbs heat quickly at high temperature, destroys the flame shape and dilutes the oxygen concentration in the combustion zone, so it can play the role of fire extinguishing.

It would be better if the home is equipped with a home fire extinguisher. Common usage of portable dry powder fire extinguisher: take the windward direction, pull out the safety pin of the fire extinguisher, hold the nozzle, aim at the root of the flame, press the handle on the upper part of the fire extinguisher, and push it left and right quickly until the flame goes out.

Up to now, there are still a few residents who mistakenly think that the fire brigade needs to collect money for fire fighting, and they don't dial "1 19" in time after the fire, and they will regret it only after the disaster spreads. In addition, most residents lack the necessary fire-fighting equipment in their homes, and once a fire breaks out, there is nothing they can do, which leads to a small fire and a big disaster. Once you find that the fire can't be put out by yourself, you should call the police immediately and take the right way to escape.
