Fire department issues 5 tips to prevent home fires
Xinhua SHENZHEN, June 11 (Reporter Zhou Ke) Hot weather is prone to fire. In home fires, unsafe behavior is one of the most important factors leading to fires. To this end, the Shenzhen public security fire department issued five tips to remind citizens to pay attention to precautions.
One is to charge mobile phones and tablet computers for a long time. Due to the high power consumption of smart phones and tablet computers and short standby time, many people charge electronic products for a long time to save trouble, or play while charging, such a habit will reduce the self-protection function of the battery, easy to cause fire.
The second is that the plugboard is not unplugged for a long time. Many families have such a habit, the plugboard is not only connected to a lot of high-power appliances, but also do not unplug the power for a long time, more rarely to clean up, in the long run, will accumulate a lot of dust and hair between the poles of the plug and the jack, it is easy to cause a fire because the load is too large.
Third, do other things without the stove. Many citizens will go to the living room to watch TV, chat, or temporarily "talk on the phone" when cooking for a long time, forgetting that the gas in the kitchen is still on, resulting in the pot being burned dry and causing a fire.
Four is the lighter as a toy. Many parents in order to coax children, take the lighter as a toy, using the flame of the lighter to attract the attention of children, this practice is easy to lead to children "copy" parents' behavior, bring hidden dangers to themselves and family safety.
Five is stacking debris in the corridor. In order to save money, many residents have the habit of collecting used waste cartons, old newspapers and plastic bottles at home. These waste products occupy space at home, so some residents put the public corridor as their own "warehouse", used to stack these sundry things. These sundries are basically flammable items, which not only block the safe passage, but also may cause a fire because of a cigarette butt.
