Come and learn about these firefighting facilities that you may look familiar but don’t know how to use.

Fire-fighting facilities are an important guarantee against fire.

When a fire occurs,

it is very important whether the fire-fighting facilities can be used.

Now, let’s learn about the “life-saving artifact” around you.

01

Where is the fire hydrant?

In the corridor. Check whether the fire hydrant box is obvious, whether it is labeled, whether the label is clear, whether the opening direction is clear, whether it is easy to open, and whether the opening angle is greater than 120 degrees.

02

Is the fire hydrant opening smoothly?

Check whether the facilities in the box are complete, including water hoses and water guns, whether the buckles at both ends are intact, and whether they match the water guns and fire hydrants.

03

How to use a fire extinguisher?

Fire hydrants are generally equipped with two 4kg fire extinguishers. You can check whether the fire extinguisher has expired, whether the pointer is in the green area, whether the components are intact, etc. In addition, attention should also be paid to whether fire extinguishers and fire hydrants are regularly inspected and whether the property management company conducts monthly inspections and registration.

How to use a fire extinguisher

Tips: Lift the fire extinguisher

Pull out: Pull out the safety pin

Grip: Hold the front end of the hose with one hand

Pressure: Press down the handle with one hand to extinguish the fire

04

Where is the smoke alarm?

Generally, there is a smoke alarm near the elevator hall. You can check whether the smoke alarm is installed and whether the smoke detector working indicator light is flashing.

05

Where are the evacuation stairs?

High-rise buildings are required to be equipped with three types of evacuation stairs: open stairs and closed stairs (installation Fire doors) and smoke-proof stairs (smoke-proof stairs are required for floors above 32 floors)

06

What is a normally closed fire door?

At the stairway, a normally closed fire door should be equipped . You can check whether the normally closed fire door is intact, whether it is opened in the evacuation direction, whether the \”keep fire door closed\” warning sign is set, whether the door closer is complete and functional, and whether the sealing strip inside the fire door is intact.

07

Where is the refuge floor?

The building height is greater than 100 meters Public buildings should be equipped with refuge floors. The height from the first floor to the first refuge floor should not be greater than 50 meters. For example, a building with a floor height of 44 floors requires two refuge floors, one on the 15th floor and the other on the first floor. Around the 30th floor.

In addition, I would like to remind everyone that in the event of a fire,

in the early stages of a controllable fire,

Be sure to master the correct fire fighting methods!

Methods to fight the first fire

1. The first fire is generally the early stage of the fire. Now that the fire is small and controllable, people can use simple fire-extinguishing tools such as soil, cement powder, slag, lime powder, iron plates, pot lids, etc.

2. available Simple containers containing water, such as buckets, basins, water tanks, etc., can be used directly to put out fires if there are fire extinguishers and fire hydrants

Basic fire fighting methods

1.

Interdiction

Intercepting the fire to prevent or slow down its spread, or extinguish the fire during the interception process, is a basic fire fighting method that combines active defense and active attack.

2.

Quick attack

When fire extinguishers can get close to the fire source, they should quickly use the fire extinguishing equipment around them to put out the fire and control the fire to the early stage of low temperature and low smoke.

3

Smoke exhaust

Using doors, windows and demolition holes to discharge high-temperature and dense smoke out of the building is an important measure to guide the direction of fire spread and reduce fire losses.

4

Isolation

In view of the rapid spread of the fire and the temporary inability to control the fire, unfired flammable materials outside the fire range should be moved away quickly to effectively control the fire range.
