Many fires occur due to people's negligence in fire safety. Fires are highly destructive and can even threaten lives. By taking proper fire protection measures and enhancing fire safety awareness, we can greatly reduce the occurrence of fires. Today, our fire safety company discusses how to address common fire safety misconceptions in everyday life.
Unprotected Wire Burial: During the renovation process, people often seek aesthetics and directly bury electrical wires without conduit maintenance within the walls. Some construction workers without electrical training are unaware of safety wiring techniques and zoning power supply, etc., and directly bury the wiring into the walls when installing electrical appliances. Caution: As time goes by and more home appliances are added, once electrical wiring develops defects or damage, it can cause minor issues like short circuits affecting the safety of home appliances, or more severe cases, such as fires.
Home Appliances Without Plugs: With the increasing diversity and intelligence of household appliances, a simple press of a remote control can turn them on or off effortlessly. Fute Fire Protection reminds everyone that even when using a remote control to turn off appliances, the power transformer is still powered on. Although the current is very small, prolonged power supply causes the transformer to continue to heat up, which may lead to fires due to short circuits or carbonization in its coils and insulators. It might also "attract" lightning strikes, causing electrical appliances to short circuit and overload, leading to fires and explosions. It is recommended to still cut off the power after using household appliances to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Balconies as Storage Rooms: Some households place unnecessary items on their balconies, and factors like direct sunlight in winter and children playing with fire can lead to balcony fires. If flammable and explosive items like paint and automotive gasoline are stored on the balcony, the risk of fire is greatly increased.
