Why fire fighting equipment is difficult to enter the house

A cigarette butt, an unqualified outlet, may be a "fuse" and cause a fire. According to the statistics of the Wuhan Fire Department, in recent years, more than half of the fires that took place in the police were caused by family fires. The reporter’s investigation found that the family’s fire-fighting product market has always been cold. Fire extinguishers, gas masks and other common fire-fighting equipment have been difficult to access.

Few households buy fire extinguishers

"There are very few people who use fire extinguishers." Luo Xinqiang, head of a fire-fighting equipment store on Shengli Street in Jiang'an District, said that most of them are units to buy. He said that not only is his point of entry, but in other regular fire equipment fires in Wuhan, there are very few residents who buy fire extinguishers and other facilities.

The reporter yesterday visited a number of large supermarkets in the urban area and found no traces of fire fighting equipment. Finally, in a large supermarket in Xujiadong Wangjiadun, they found household fire extinguishers, gas masks and other fire-fighting equipment. However, salesmen frankly stated that only 1 kg of fire extinguishers were sold, mostly by private owners.

I do not want to spend money

It is understood that there are currently five types of household fire-fighting equipment, namely small fire extinguishers, life-saving descending devices, gas masks, fire blankets, and sound and light alarm flashlights.

Luo Xinqiang said that a 1 kg dry powder fire extinguisher needs 60 yuan; a fire blanket is about 75 yuan, and it can extinguish the fire-fighting seedlings, and it can also be rushed out of the fire on the body; the simple gas mask is more than 20 yuan. For an ordinary family of three, it takes only about 300 yuan to equip five kinds of equipment.

"I have not heard that my family is equipped with fire extinguishers and fire blankets." In Hankou, a five-way electronic market, Ms. Guo is busy shopping for audio for her new home. She said that buying homes does not cost money.

"Home is not like restaurants, businesses, there is no mandatory requirements, so very few people buy. More people holding a family fire will not have the chance of luck, it is not difficult to understand the cold fire equipment." Luo Xinqiang this analysis.

Family fire prevention is not "a superfluous move"

"The use of household fire-fighting equipment is very effective in preventing fires." A related person in the Fire Prevention Department of the Wuhan Fire Brigade said that it takes three to five minutes from the beginning of the fire to the formation of a fire. If a simple fire extinguisher is prepared at home, it can be skillfully operated. When the fire starts, It can be extinguished in time. In case of a fire, they can also escape by wearing fireproof blankets. Even if they are trapped, sound and light alarm flashlights will allow firefighters to find trapped people the first time.

“At present, the price of household fire-fighting equipment is relatively moderate, and most people can accept it. However, the security awareness is not strengthened and the price is not necessarily cheaper.” The firefighters said that once a fire broke out at home, it is very likely that there will be a loss of both human and financial resources. There will be some simple fire fighting. Equipment equals a safety barrier.
