Must know! Family must-have 4 kinds of fire fighting equipment

In recent years, there have been more and more high-rise buildings in Hangzhou. Once a fire breaks out, the fire spreads quickly, evacuation is difficult, and it is difficult to save. Coupled with the complexity of high-rise buildings and intensive personnel, it is often difficult to control and the consequences are very serious. Yesterday, the Hangzhou Fire Brigade conducted a high-rise residential evacuation escape drill in the City Star neighborhood of Qianjiang New City. This is a 44-story, high-rise nearly 150 meters high, the fire drill point is set at 10 layers, 15 layers and 30 layers have refuge floors. After the simulated fire, people evacuated downstairs 10 walls, more than 10 layers nearest evacuated to the evacuation floor layer 15 ......

When a high-rise building catches fire, how can it escape science and effectively? The reporter specially consulted the first class-one police chief in the history of Zhejiang's firefighting, Zhu Baihong, the “army king”, Yang Boyuan, deputy section chief of the Hangzhou Fire Brigade Propaganda Department, and Jiang Jian fire brigade staffer Yang Jianxin.

In the event of a fire, it is best to judge the source of the fire

Judging whether to extinguish fire or escape first

“Rescue is not as good as prevention.” Zhu Baihong, who has been involved in rescue operations for more than 2,000 times, concluded that in the event of a fire, it is best to judge the source of fire and then determine whether to extinguish or escape. "For example, if electricity is involved in a fire, turn off the switch first. Do not use water to destroy it. You will get an electric shock and use a fire extinguisher. The kitchen can catch fire. Wet towels, aprons, and rags can be used to cover the fire."

Yang Boxuan and Yang Jianxin also believe that once a high-rise building catches fire, the most important thing that can be relied on is the fire-fighting facilities in the building.

If you will not fight the fire, then you need to find a way to choose escape. How to escape? This is also a stress -

● Before you open the door, first touch the door lock with your hand. If the door lock is very hot, or if smoke is escaping through the door seam, it means that the fire or smoke has blocked the exit of the door. Do not open the door swiftly. When leaving the room, close the door and the evacuation door to prevent smoke from entering the walkway. Do not return to the fire room for property.

● If you want to run, how to run is correct? In a word, try to run down. If fire or smoke is above the floor, try to run down. If the fire is on the floor where the person is located, it is best to run as far as the window accessible by the fire escape vehicle. When evacuating and escaping, you must familiarize yourself with the evacuation routes and safety exit locations of the places where you live. Generally, high-rise buildings have at least two stairs that can be evacuated. Do not use elevators when there is a fire.

● Under high temperature and smoke conditions, even wearing a breathing mask must be paralyzed, not to mention a wet towel. However, in the initial stage of fire, wet towels are necessary escape equipment. After the towels are soaked, they are folded in three layers (eight layers) with good effect of filter. Most of the fatalities in high-rise building fires are caused by inhalation of smoke, which means that when you escape, you have to bend down and walk around with your towel and handkerchief to cover your nose.

Be familiar with the fire facilities around you

It is recommended that households have four types of fire fighting equipment

Apart from escape, it is also very important that nearby fire facilities can come in handy at critical times.

We also consulted with fire experts to make everyone popular.

● Where are the fire hydrants? In the corridor. Check whether the fire hydrant box is obvious, whether it is labeled, whether the logo is clear, whether the opening direction is clear, whether it is easy to open, and whether the opening angle is greater than 120 degrees.

● Is the fire hydrant open smoothly? Check whether the facilities in the box are complete, including hoses, water guns , water hoses, whether the snaps at both ends are intact, and whether they are matched with water guns and fire hydrants.

● Fire hydrants are generally equipped with two 4 kg fire extinguishers. You can see if the fire extinguisher is out of date, whether the pointer is in the green area, whether the components are in good condition, and so on. Also, whether fire extinguishers and fire hydrants are regularly inspected are checked and registered by the property on a monthly basis.

● There is a smoke alarm near the elevator hall. You can check whether the smoke alarm is installed or not.

● High-rise buildings are required to be equipped with three types of evacuation stairs: open stairs, enclosed staircases (installed fire doors), and smoke-proof staircases ( 32- story floors or more must have smoke-proof staircases).

● At the stairway, normally closed fire doors should be provided. You can see if the normally closed fire door is in good condition, whether it is open to the evacuation direction, and whether the “keep the fire door closed” indication is set. Whether the door closer is complete and easy to use, and whether the sequencer is intact and reliable. Whether the seal in the fire door is in good condition.

● A public building with a building height of more than 100 meters should be equipped with a refuge floor. The height from the first floor to the first refuge floor should not be more than 50 meters . For example, for a building with a storey height of 44 floors, two refuge floors are required, one at about 15 stories and one at about 30 stories.

The setting of the refuge floor is also strictly required. The evacuation floor should be provided with exits for fire extinguishing elevators, fire-fighting dedicated telephones and emergency broadcasting, fire hydrants, fire reels, and smoke prevention facilities. The refuge floor is not suitable for the storage of combustible debris. In addition, clear indication signs should be provided at the entrance of the refuge floor to the stairwell and at the exit of the evacuation stairs leading to the refuge floor.

At the same time, the fire department also suggested that the family should keep the following four kinds of fire-fighting equipment -

Fire extinguisher and fire blanket , small fire timely treatment;

Fire blanket

Freestanding smoke, every room needs to be installed to avoid delays in self-rescue when fire occurs;

Smoke masks, especially when in indoor escape, avoid inhaling toxic fumes.

Self-rescue descending device. Always check the staircases and stairwells of the houses. Do not stack flammable materials and leave a life channel for yourself and your family.
